Upgrade payback
Upgrade payback worksheet
Estimate how many income cycles a cash upgrade needs before it pays for itself. Use it when a bar upgrade and the next food are competing for the same cash. It does not read your plot, and it does not convert Throw Power XP into cash.
Payback cycles = upgrade cost Γ· extra profit per cycle, rounded up.
The cost default of 50 matches the published Steel Bar price. The extra-cash default of 10 is only a worksheet example, not a measured Throw Power rate. Type the income increase you actually see after the upgrade.
