This page details the costs and selling prices of buildings and workers. Additional details to the level up process are also inlcuded.

Buildings

Calculation

A building has a coin price which scales with each purchase. This means every placed building increases the cost of subsequent purchases for the same building.

For the calculation, take the base price of the building and add the amount of placed buildings of the same time multiplied by 0.2 and the base price. This makes the price increase by 20% for each placed same type building:

Base Price + (Amount of placed Buildings of same type * 0.2 * base price) = Final Price

Selling a building gives back half the amount of coins of its buy cost:

Final Price / 2 = Final Sell Price

Display

The game shows all buildings the player can afford and has unlocked with his current prestige level.

Workers

The cost of workers will also scale up from their base price with each new employee you hire, representing how hard it is to keep a larger staff.

Leveling Up

The player starts with level 0. In order to level up, a certain amount of prestige needs to be collected:

  • 100 prestige to level up from level 0 to 1
  • 150 prestige to level up from level 1 to 2
  • 224 prestige to level up from level 2 to 3
  • 337 prestige to level up from level 3 to 4
  • etc...

For the calculation, take the amount of prestige needed for the last level up (i) and multiply it with 1.5 (=50% increase) to get the prestige needed for the next level (i + 1), then round down the result (ex. 337.5 becomes 337). This makes the prestige needed for the next level up increase by 20%:

(Prestige needed for level (i)) * 1.5 = prestige needed for level (i + 1)

Example: 100 * 1.5 = 150 prestige needed to go from level 1 to level 2
