How it works
Dust, sand and stone sell at different prices per kg; the resource pages list them. Market Contracts and Lunar Exchange raise the payout. For each level the calculator shows its cost, the extra income per minute and the payback time.
Upgrade prices come from community databases; the full table with every group is on the upgrades page.
Reading the result
- An upgrade pays back when its price divided by the extra income per minute is short compared with your play session.
- Turning dust into stone usually raises income more than selling raw dust: check with the factory calculator.
- The upgrade order guide gives a full buying order.
