steeldor Posted July 10, 2009 Report Share Posted July 10, 2009 I want to know from experience, not calculators, how much money is needed to make the 5000 infra jump. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Viluin Posted July 11, 2009 Report Share Posted July 11, 2009 (edited) It depends on your resources. If you want to "eyeball" it, just buy 1 infra to put you over 5000, check the new infra purchase cost per level, multiply it by 225, and you've got a nice estimate for the amount of money needed to make the jump. Don't forget to sell that 1 infra again. Edited July 11, 2009 by Viluin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smacky Posted July 11, 2009 Report Share Posted July 11, 2009 why wouldn't you use a calculator? I don't know which one you're using but it seems silly to not trust them right out of hand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steeldor Posted July 11, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 11, 2009 why wouldn't you use a calculator? I don't know which one you're using but it seems silly to not trust them right out of hand. The MFO calculator says that I need $6,544,087.63 for the 5000 infra jump. Does that sound right to you? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smacky Posted July 11, 2009 Report Share Posted July 11, 2009 Well why the $%&@ are you using MFO, everyone knows that one is wrong. CN utilities. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then tell me what I am doing wrong because, when I make an account it tells me to click "tools" and every time I do, it just disappears.

Erich Ludendorff Posted July 11, 2009 Report Share Posted July 11, 2009 Do you use Chrome, or something else besides FF? Try this link directly. http://cn-utilities.com/infrastructurecalculator.aspx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

enderland Posted July 12, 2009 Report Share Posted July 12, 2009 I believe that the upkeep jump at 5k is insignificant (the initial cost goes up a lot however). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Melutar Posted July 13, 2009 Report Share Posted July 13, 2009 I used Safari, does it only work with Firefox? Your link worked though. Thanks. It is designed for Firefox, I used Safari at first and then switched, it worked wonders. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emperor Badger Posted July 13, 2009 Report Share Posted July 13, 2009 I believe that the upkeep jump at 5k is insignificant (the initial cost goes up a lot however). This. The upkeep goes up only slightly but the purchase price goes up a significant amount. Although, $25-30mil is enough to buy you 200 infra at this level (depending on your resources and whether you have the Interstate). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Irwin Posted July 13, 2009 Report Share Posted July 13, 2009 My records weren't that great at that point, but I know that I purchased 240 infra at the 5k jump and that was more than enough to be profitable. Like everyone else mentioned, the calculators should be accurate...at least at this level. The only time I wouldn't trust them is at the 1k and 2k levels, because it doesn't account for the ability to be new economic improvements. This is a non-issue by 5k though.

Duncan King Posted July 13, 2009 Report Share Posted July 13, 2009 (edited) You will need a lot of money for this one, it's a bear and one of the worst there is. I recommend having enough money to jump to 5200 at least but the higher the better. To jump to 5200, it will cost you $53 million or so. Considering that donations usually run $18 million to $21 million, it's probably cheaper to buy two and jump at the end of the month. If you bought an IS, which you really should before that jump, it cuts the total cost down to about 49 million. Edit: these numbers are calculated from your current infra level of 4,633.18.

From 4633.18 it would take about 53M to get to 5200? Can I get more then 1 donation per month, if its from different people?

Duncan King Posted July 16, 2009 Report Share Posted July 16, 2009 You can only get one donation per month, but you can get one donation on July 31 and another on August 1. And yes, it will take about 53 million for you to get to 5200. But I really do recommend the IS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoshuaR Posted July 19, 2009 Report Share Posted July 19, 2009 Well why the $%&@ are you using MFO, everyone knows that one is wrong. CN utilities. CN Utilities doesn't have an infra jump calculator. (Neither does MFO, the jump calc will give you incorrect values). Both have accurate infra purchase calculators (the calc you linked on CN Utilities), MFO's is here: http://www.mrfixitonline.com/cyber_nations...acalculator.php MFO's contains extra information in that you can also calculate infra upkeep. These values are accurate and up to date (I updated this one myself). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CN Utilities doesn't have it, but you can easily calculate the cost of going to 200 infra over the jump line in CN utilities, with 200 infra being a demarcation where it's usually safe to sit for a while and avoid losing money.

JoshuaR Posted July 19, 2009 Report Share Posted July 19, 2009 Yep, of course. I just wanted to point out that it was silly to say MFO's calc didn't work, then point to a calc that has different functionality, when the MFO calc with that same functionality works even better than CN Utilities.

James I Posted July 19, 2009 Report Share Posted July 19, 2009 I don't know the exact cost, but you'll only need a few dozen infra once you pass 5k. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
