is the +2% angel effectiveness useless?

[Kaitri]

it costs 100.000 angels... lets say i have 200.000 angels
200k * 2% = 400.000%
if i sell 100.000 for +2% more i have
100k * 4% = 400.000% so its totally useless?

200k is just the break even point for it.
Calculate again with 201k. Then with 202k. Then with 203k. ... I think you get my point ;)

You need more angels if you want it to increase.

damn and i call myself good at math. but is it worth it? i hit like 200k angels and i resetet, if i spend 100k doesnt it take forever to get like 300k for next run?

Spending half your angels and thus halfing your income just to double it afterwards ... yep, quite useless at this point.
Wait with this upgrade until you got some more angels, not only 1 or 2k, that was just for the examples how rapidly it will increase. If you have 300 * 2 = 600 it will turn into 200 * 4 = 800. Or lets say 1million - 100k. 900k * 4 = 3600k.
It's up to you to decide when it is worth enough for yourself. There is no perfect rule. Some say "not more than 10% of current angels bla", but it depends on each situation.

FAQ states not to sacrifice Angeles if they are >1% of your total Angels.

And that's hopefully just for complete beginners so they don't mess up.

One example from further in the game:
Theres is a x15 overall multiplier for 10 trillion angels. Do you really want to wait days until you've got 1 quadrillion angels until you buy it? Or do you rather spend, lets say 50% of your 20trillion angels, to get the x15 multiplier, which will feel like having 10trillion*15=150trillion angels, which will make you earn back the angels much faster and bring you to the 1 quadrillion in a few hours?

btw is it normal, right now i have everything 300 times (besides lemons dont count them)
and oil are the cheapest to buy, newspapers the expensivest. (sry bad engelando)
is that a bug or normal? cause newspaper still doesnt give a lot of money

[cochesey]

its worth it trust me

[skhar]

Look at what newspapers grant you for the unlock milestones. That justifies their prices.
News have the highest multiplier for the price increase. Oil starts with x1.07 and it's +0.01 until news with x1.15. Lemons are x1.07 like oil.

FAQ says "If it costs less than 1% of your angels, then it will always be advantageous."

It doesn't say not to sacrifice more than 1%, just that less than 1% will *always* be a benifit so you don't have to sit there and work out the math.

[skhar]

Car is the second expensive, x1.14 multiplier.
Just focus on the businesses which give you the most profit (of course stick to the x2 for everything, too) and observe if and how it will change later on ;) The big money maker pull the other weaker ones through to get the x2 overall multipliers.

When youre bored, scroll through the upgrades and unlocks lists, maybe you can predict how the incomes will be later on.

it's normal, newspapers give great bonuses to all other profits, and the less profitable yet expensive ventures are still worth it later on to get everything to 600, 666, 700 etc as those landmarks will increase all profits.

also, getting newspapers to a 1000 gives it a x7777777 modifier or something insane like that, bringing it up to par with the other stuff.

I agree

[shoopy]

Look at what this ONE lemonade stand produces after a reset and ask yourself again - is it worth it to double that amount for 100k angels?
