Vehicle Progression Loop
About this model
HOW TO PLAY: press Play, then click the Upgrade converters to buy the next tier of each part, and click 'Drive to Next Biome' when Power Surplus is 0 or more (biomes are free; animals block you until your car is strong enough). Income/sec = Car Power x 10^(biome-1). Car Power = 1x2^(T-1) + 2x2^(E-1) + 4x2^(B-1) + 6x2^(C-1). Next tier price = base x 32^(tier-1), bases: tires 40, engine 120, boosters 300, chassis 500. Biome b needs Car Power 13x2^(b-1). 1 drive = 1 second; a perfect player reaches biome 10 in about 104 min (~6,200 drives).
