Core Upgrade Formulas & Exponential Cost Scaling
Upgrade costs follow Cost(n) = Cost_0 * r^n. Prioritize Cash Multiplier (r ≈ 1.40) and Pusher Width (r ≈ 1.35) during early and mid-game stages.

Collect 1 Million Items Upgrades: Formulas, Costs & Limits
Cash upgrades scale exponentially with base cost multiplied by ratio r (Pusher Width r ≈ 1.35, Cash Multiplier r ≈ 1.40, Spawn Rate r ≈ 1.25). Warning: Player WalkSpeed has a strict physics soft limit at 32 Studs/s. Above 32 Studs/s, frame update tick intervals lead to tunneling where your character passes through items without collision.
Last tested:
The 32 Studs/s WalkSpeed Physics Collision Soft Cap
Do not upgrade WalkSpeed past 32 Studs/s. Discrete collision simulation causes characters to tunnel right through spawned items without pushing them into The Void.
Gamepass Upgrades: Fast Spawn & Extra Drop Analysis
Fast Spawn cuts spawn delay in half, while Extra Drop produces 2 items per spawn event, effectively multiplying base platform collection capacity by up to 4x.
Optimal Upgrade Investment Order
Maintain a strict 5:3:2 Cash ratio: 50% into Pusher Width until 8+ Studs, 30% into Cash Multipliers, and 20% into Spawn Rate. Stop WalkSpeed at rank 8.
Methodology
Entries are ordered highest to lowest by Early Game ROI; ties use name order.
Upgrades ranked by throughput leverage and adherence to the 32 Studs/s WalkSpeed physics collision threshold.
#1 Pusher Width
Ordering value: 10 score
- Early Game Roi: 10.0 score
- Growth: r ≈ 1.35
- Priority: Must reach 8 Studs before 10k items
- Value: 10.0
#2 Cash Multiplier
Ordering value: 8 score
- Early Game Roi: 8.0 score
- Growth: r ≈ 1.40
- Priority: Reinvest 30% of income continuously
- Value: 8.0
#3 Spawn Rate
Ordering value: 6 score
- Early Game Roi: 6.0 score
- Growth: r ≈ 1.25
- Priority: Upgrade once Pusher Width covers spawn lanes
- Value: 6.0
#4 Player WalkSpeed
Ordering value: 2 score
- Early Game Roi: 2.0 score
- Growth: r ≈ 1.20
- Priority: Strict cap at 32 Studs/s to prevent tunneling
- Value: 2.0
Best choices by situation
First 10k Items Bottleneck: Pusher Width
Does not increase per-item Cash payout directly.
Exception: If Cash is insufficient, buy 1-2 ranks of Cash Multiplier first to accelerate earnings.
Accelerating Cash Accumulation: Cash Multiplier
Takes away from physical width expansion.
Exception: Always ensure Pusher Width is at least 8 Studs before heavily leveling Multiplier.
High-Speed Maneuvering: Spawn Rate
Requires wide pusher to catch faster falling items.
Exception: Do not raise WalkSpeed past 32 Studs/s; frame sync clipping causes passthrough.
Tier list questions
What happens if my WalkSpeed exceeds 32 Studs/s?
Due to discrete frame physics updates, high speeds cause tunneling where your character passes through items without imparting pushing momentum.
Does Extra Drop stack with Spawn Rate?
Extra Drop generates 2 items per spawn event, doubling raw throughput alongside Spawn Rate delay reductions.
