Run for NEEDOH – Base Upgrade Priority

The Two-Currency Tension
Run for NEEDOH progression splits spending between Needoh upgrades (raise income per Slot) and Base upgrades (add Slots). Both multiply total earnings but at different rates depending on game phase.
Needoh upgrades help immediately with existing Slots. Base upgrades help only when you have Needohs ready to fill new Slots—otherwise capacity sits idle.
Optimal players alternate investments instead of maxing one track exclusively.
Early Game Priority (First Hour)
Upgrade your primary collected Needoh to level 3–5 before first major Base purchase. Baseline income makes everything else affordable.
Buy your first Base Slot expansion as soon as income per second flattens—usually when the next Needoh level costs noticeably more than one Slot unlock.
