A collider experiment: results

Hi all!

I just completed a test of the impact of running the XP collider continually. Here's what happened:

I spent 25 donuts to activate for 10 days. At that point, i had 0 donuts.

I set my tasks using the Unemployment Office, selecting the 12hr option each time. I was not particularly punctual, so i did not do it exactly 2x per day. Event characters were tasked on their 4hr cycle, and a few characters, like Fat Tony, Apu, Mrs. Skinner, and Martin, were repeating their own, super premium payout tasks.

At the end of the 10 day collider run, i now have 58 donuts.

One, possibly two, were from neighbor visits.
I completed the "find Maggie" game successfully, 6 or 7 times. (I lost count, but two runs i failed out because of no sucking sounds) If it was 7 successful attempts, that would be 21 donuts.

.58
-21 (Maggie)
-25 (initial cost)
-2 (neighbors)
10

My bonus is listed as 571.8%. It appears i gained 10 donuts.

So my conclusion is, keep running the collider continuously, and it pays for itself plus earns 1 donut a day.

Not great, but it is a start. Obviously i would improve these results if i:
- task shorter intervals
- task more punctually
- use the railyard
- use the black hole, insanity pepper, and drone mini-games
- Max out the SH hidden bonus

None of which i care to do. But i have proven to myself that I've finally reached a bonus rate that justifies running the collider continuously. Cool!

If you are >500% bonus, you may want to also.

Happy tapping!

    Ive had mine going since the day I gor it, with one approx. 12 hour exception. I try to keep it as close to the max amount of days (40) as I can

    didn’t know it had a max but never tried and good to know

    Ditto. Farming is why I began using the collider in the first place.

  • Mine is always going too....

    Does anybody know what your multiplier has to be to get a donut box without the collider on?

    1 RTT should give 1 donut box at 6567% without collider (1234% with collider)
    Blood mobile 7476% (1416% with)
    KEM 49900% (9900% with)

    Yeah, I'm not a fan of the tedium of buying, waiting 4 hrs, then selling. When i farm i use the vehicles.

    But i used to burn through $50-60M in a mad farming rush while the collider was active for a day. Now i don't have to. If i want some donuts, i can just flip a few vehicles any time. It's a comfier position for sure. #finally

    Math is a little off on Maggie. Winning 3 times allows one round of Donuts, not each win.

  • I use it for KEM farming too. When I started using it, it took around 5 days to break even with KEM farming with the collider and 5 days of profit. I have been playing for 4 years and just this last month finally breached 1,000% Bonus milestone (without collider % bonus).

    I am now at a point that I can maintain farming around 135 KEMs each cycle and keep even with my collected cash for 4 hour tasks. So I earn around 50 donuts each KEM 4 hour cycle. So I double my ROI in 4 hours and the rest of the 10 days is pure profit.

    The morale of the story? If you farm USE THE COLLIDER and you will continually shrink the time to get your ROI for the 10 day purchase.

  • I used to KEM farm but I finally reached the $1 billion in my first game, my other games are a little over half that, so now I just use the RTTs when I need donuts. My percentages in all five games are high enough that with the collider on full time I get one bonus round per RTT and several from rent/task collections (most characters are on 24 tasks). I have the Little Lisa slurry plant which frees me from the rail yard. The only way to keep up five games is to cut corners on the time invested :)
  • I get 2.5 - 4 million every four hours. I never really done rat traps yet. And I actually did bloodmobiles at a time. So frosted and the percentage needed gave some insight. I could possibly rat trap farm but I feel like its wasteful. Because the return from kwik e marts is much more. What made you decide to rat trap farm instead of KEM? I know one has to be how much faster it is. And that may be the only one. Takes us less room also. But thats my drawback is efficiency for work done.

  • Since the collider was brought into the game, mine has run continuously 24/7. I've never turned it off.

    I got tired of the nagging $ over the KEM farm plots, but yes they are the best yield for the least cash and for a long time that’s all I could afford to do. The RTTs still have an issue for me in that during this event my game crashes if I do more than 10 at a time, so I don’t have a big donut hoard as some of the players on this forum have revealed they do.
