The design of the Basic Egg Shop.
The Basic Egg Shop is a shop located next to the Sunflower Field and behind an Instant Converter. It sells Basic eggs for increasing amounts of honey.
The cost begins at 1,000 honey and roughly increases exponentially (see Formula section below), eventually capping off at 10,000,000 honey, which is the 22nd egg.
| Egg# | Honey | Egg# | Honey |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 1,000 | 12 | 181,378 |
| 2 | 2,500 | 13 | 272,151 |
| 3 | 4,250 | 14 | 408,304 |
| 4 | 6,708 | 15 | 612,527 |
| 5 | 10,313 | 16 | 918,857 |
| 6 | 15,669 | 17 | 1,378,348 |
| 7 | 23,670 | 18 | 2,067,580 |
| 8 | 35,648 | 19 | 3,101,426 |
| 9 | 53,596 | 20 | 4,652,191 |
| 10 | 80,506 | 21 | 6,978,337 |
| 11 | 120,858 | 22+ | 10,000,000 |
Formula
The cost of egg number N is calculated as follows:
base = 1000
cost = base
i = 0
while i < N-1 do
cost = 1.5*cost + base/(i+1)
i = i + 1
end
This comes out roughly exponential, but there isn't a "nice neat numbers" exponential formula.
Base = 1000
t = Base
i = 0
NN = 21
For [i=0; t= Base, i < NN, i++, t=1.5*t+Base/(i+1);{Print[Floor[t+0.5]]}]
This does not work for Term 22, as the price caps out at 10,000,000.
