New income shouldn't be the basis of the alerts #18

Closed percentcer closed 10 years ago

percentcer commented 10 years ago

If the cost of an item doesn't violate the current lucky threshold, it shouldn't matter to the player if it violates the new income (as the new income can sometimes be many times larger than the current one, e.g. when buying Reverse Cyclotrons). They'll still be at least as good as they were before they bought the upgrade.

Well... yeah but when it was like that before people kept asking me for this. Even I find it far more useful if it takes into account the income because otherwise the old alerts would sometimes say "Go ahead you're fine" and you're end up way below the lucky thresholds once the item would be bought.

Right but you're still above the old lucky threshold, which means you're making at least as much money. If you wait to buy to match the new income level then you're actually losing money in the opportunity cost...

Hm true, didn't think of it that way.
