Pools: Shells (cap 1000),...

About this model

Pools: Shells (cap 1000), Cash (0), Coconuts (0), CrabPower (start 1, this abstracts your whole crab array into one number, do not model 40 tiers here)

Source → Shells: automatic, rate = CrabPower × EventMult. State connection from CrabPower to the rate label.

Processing (Converter): Shells → Cash, interactive (player clicks), throughput limited by ProcRate, output multiplied by a random 1.0 to 1.5 range. Set it to drain the full Shells pool on activation.

ProcRate (Pool, start 1): Drain from Cash, cost = 10 × 1.15^ProcRate. State connection from ProcRate into the Processing converter's flow rate.

CrabBuy (Drain on Cash): cost = 5 × 1.12^CrabPower, adds 1 to CrabPower. Interactive.

EggTimer (Source → Eggs): automatic, low rate. EggHatch (Converter): Eggs → CrabPower, random 1 to 8.

EventMult: a pool toggling between 1 and 3 on a slow timer, feeding the shell source rate.

End condition: CrabPower reaches 500.
