Googolplex

I used it to help with making a few more yoga mats. Then found it intersting that it allows you to over max your count on all the stuff if you want!

    NOT a massive fail.

    Did you read my post? It's a massive win, IF IT WORKS FOR YOU. I love the thing now and I was one of the first to jeer its high prices.

    But i am over $7M and maintaining it easily with only 233% bonus, while using the theater continuously to run $200k movies for ads to build tiles. I can't air movies fast enough!, because the tiles build so quickly.

    Not everyone is in the same place and so not everything is equally usable by everyone. But a fail it is not. I love it now. Screw SH grinding! (And the only way I'll be an SH billionaire is if Cookie earns it! )



    Yeah I see where you are coming from. I'm barely at 500,000 in cash and i've stopped doing the tree purely because I need to build up my money. I guess I'll have to wait till I have a bit of money and see if I use it.


    Its a nice attempt, this is my best attempt at unbiased opinion.

    See from an older players point of view, yeah high bonus plus a well created town with high payouts at constant intervals 100+ characters doing tasks around the clock, yeah there is a cash flow and you can afford it.

    New players point of view?
    SH unlocked at lv 30, googlplex at lv 60 thats 30 levels to get your town together and figure out a strategy that works for you, problem?
    CASH, cash, cash, Googlpex alone is 1,000,000+ land updates are in the early 100ks to early millions if it gets anymore expanded we might see land being sold at the lowest a million per section.
    Then you have aspirationals, and bunrs money mountain, lisas tree, etc etc.


    It is true, as a tapper said:
    SH is meant to be a long term project, something that you must work to, and not something you can accomplish in a couple days or week"

    Even when released only a handful of tappers reached a billion within a month, i should know for the first month i was between the top 10-20 in my rooster of SH, then i dropped to top 40 than to top 60.... (was not hardcore enough)

    Conclusion, this is a cnie attempt, with the rest of the extra methods EA has released (Number 1 and lodge, Homer and cauldron) this one seems to be the balanced one, the other two are very generous so it makes sense for one of them to you know cost a little bit more.
    Hopefully (and i dont see why it wont happen) when and if there is another SH update, Googlpex gets an update, perhaps the ability to craft the new resource or such (hopefully new prizes or something).

    However it is a freemium item so you cant really compare it to other items, want to talk about the best purchase ever that saved me from SH grinding? Yellow submersible i dont have to pay to craft tiles, it pays me and if im lucky i get a tile for free! thats a good purchase. too bad it was limited time.


    Awesome feedback. Yeah I was an old player but stopped playing for a about a year. The money thing is my own fault but I wish I didn't matter. Lol

    Some things definitely take time no matter how much we want to rush. I remember when my income was low and aspirationals were simply beyond reach.

    But fortunately this game is fun enough to endure! Keep playing daily, and building your multiplier. I've never house-farmed or anything-farmed, so it took a while but i did it as a freemium so anyone can. I remember when i couldn't afford to upgrade aspirationals. But i finally did the tree. I refuse to do the money pit though. Some kinda mental block about wasting money i can't get over! Ha!

    The theater may not be of use to you now but someday hopefully it will serve you well.
    Keep on tappin'!
  • If you don't log on several times per day, and thus cannot put in the time to farm the resources, or if you have maxed out on the allocation for the particular resource or resources, the building is actually quite helpful... So long as you have the money to invest as it is quite pricey in exchange for the return on your investment.

    In my case, I have a 350+% bonus, and a 4 year built town, so similar to the others that make an exorbitant amount of in game currency, the investment is not going to put a dent in your bank. Under those circumstances, the building is actually a good investment to make up for not having the time to farm, or to create resources after reaching the maximum amount you can farm.
  • Worth it for me. I just don't have enough people to harvest yoga mats and always run out because of the Pills and Advertising agency. My town and characters makes enough cash and I have 38 million dollars. Also useful for Pills. It is pricey though.
