we know, we used the numbers you gave for 1 upgrade... will add those for 100 as well...

The cost of upgrade for UP planet size huge, is current UP divided by a constant of 1,6052. That is just a close result, real constant should be around 1,6052589704829342031983451348556 - this number varies from planet to planet. The number you get is then multiplied by 5000 for each upgrade. And 5000 sum for the new one. Hehe, that is why I wanted to have a formula confirmed from admin, because those calculations are just approximate, not exact.

can any other players help out to verify the red numbers on the first post?

only 21 numbers need to be verified, and 5 of those are not all that neccesary (the extraordinary ones, as that size costs 1 trill naq)... so 16 numbers to be verified...

From my calculations (and info I got) the things about UP planets cost is:

1) each click give u 1.1,1.2,1.3... etc per click (btw, your numers are starting in 1.0 Zeratul but the x100 quantities are right)
2) Each click add 5k naq to the cost
3) UP planets have a base cost of arround 7mil naq (calculated for UP=0). This number should be the randomness source

to confirm this I ask u to make this simple calculation and let us know the answer:

[currect upgrade cost] - { 5000 * [planet UP] / [planet size multip.] }

do u get something near 7mil?

NOTE: [planet size multip.] = 1.1 for tiny, 1.2 for very small, 1.3 for small, etc

I did get something close to 7mil and have further confirmed with another planet (size=normal) on that cost. After doing a little more calculating I came up with the following formulas:

Planet size multiplier = [Planet UP] / {(Current upgrade cost - 7,000,000) / 5000}

This gives you a number very close to the multiplier for a normal size planet. But trying to use the current upgrade cost to determine the planets UP didn't work out very nice. After a little trial and error, I came up with the following:

Planet UP = {(Current upgrade cost - 7,010,000) / 5000} * [Planet size multiplier] (follow the 1.1, 1.2, etc. as previously mentioned)

Does anyone else come up with those numbers for the UP planets you are looking at?

Re: planet upgrade amounts

Planet UP = {(Current upgrade cost - 7,010,000) / 5000} * [Planet size multiplier]

I confirmed this formulae in 2 more planets. Can anyone else do it?

btw in the original post the first column of up planets should start in 1.1, not in 1.0
