When and What to buy

[Talo]

I noticed, like many of you, that Oil Co. is your money maker. But at some point, Lemonade Stands start to make more. Does anyone know what point this is? I'm sure it has something to do with one of the many multipliers.

It's normal and it happens to everybody. You can't constantly have the same most profitable investments, it depends on how many of each you have. If you have more lemonade stands than oil companies, it will make more profits.

That is the dumbest thing I have ever heard. I'm talking about income rates to cost ratios.

I now have 900 lemonade and 600 oil. I bought the x7 upgrade for lemonade, but not for oil yet. Oil seems to earn a lot more than lemonade still. The x7 Upgrades make a lot of things worthwhile again. I haven't found the point where lemonade is better than oil. I don't have the cash per sec for lemonade. So I cannot check what the actual income difference is.

Cost wise speaking: upgrading bank 100x and oil 100x is cheaper than shrimp 100x. Bank and oil will yield far more income.

Around level 400, the upgrades start to reverse in order of cost making newspaper the most expensive to buy, but the least profitable. From screen shots of game play I have seen that Lemonade makes a lot more then oil at max level. I am currently at 1100 lemonade 800 Oil, and Oil is still higher proffits.

Also if you don't want to look at profits per sec upgrades, you can tell how fast you are earning just looking at how much you earn between oil charges.

Uff, it was either around 1300 or 1800. Look in the unlocks, lemons have some HUGE multipliers one after each other around that amounts.
Later on, around 2k-3k Donuts and Shrimps will be ahead for some time and then Newspapers take the lead around 3k of everything, but I think Lemons will have their comeback soon.

What i've been wondering is if you should keep buying Angel upgrades every reset? I know it will help make money faster but then you are spending alot of angels everytime.

I only take them if it increases income by a lot. Because if you sacrifice to many, you just hurt your income. More income = more angels. So only do it if your income rises quite a lot.

Definitely! Buy as much angel upgrades every reset as you can afford, considering what you gain and what you loose. When you have trillions of angels, loosing 10k for an upgrade is just peanuts. When it comes to the prices where you spend 10+% you have to do the math before, but if it's for a multiplier overall or for one of the business that make your most profit, it's very often worth it.

I often spend around 10-30% of the angels for upgrades and get many times as much back in a very short time compared to how long it would take without buying that upgrades.

I spend 10% of my angels that I earn a day. I usually make what I spend back in 1hr
