Money/Currency

''' The in game currency is coins, which can be used to upgrade your tycoon or even to purchase cores. Purchasing cores isn't even remotely worthwhile unless you have completed your tycoon though. '''

''' A complete guide to coin farming by Fishyfishking. '''

If you're just starting out with a brand new tycoon, try to collect the yellow boxes that you can find scattered across the map, killing level 1 enemies may be difficult unless somebody is kind enough to give you a weapon.

Once you have a few droppers, it isn't overly worthwhile to get those boxes anymore. At this point it's best to try killing the level 1 enemies to level up.

Being a higher level will allow you to farm coins much more rapidly.

Keep on farming those level 1 enemies for coins while checking on your tycoon every minute or two.

If you can reach 250 damage per shot before level 20, swap to Level 10 monsters, as they'll be worth more gold per shot you take at them.

If you manage to get to 200 damage per shot and you're at level 20, feel free to start farming the level 20 mobs instead of the level 1 mobs.

Always remember to check back at your tycoon if it isn't complete.

Once you've managed to reach level 25 you unlock the level 25 monsters, which have 3000 health and drop 3700 gold.

Focus on these monsters until you reach level 35, still remembering to check back at your tycoon if it isn't complete.

At level 35 you gain access to monsters with 5500 health that drop 5500 gold, from there it's down to which of the two mobs you gain the best gold rate for.

If you kill the level 25 enemies in half the time you kill the level 35 enemies or less, they're better to farm. If you can't, you should farm level 35's instead.

''' Exhaustive list of all gold drop rates of all monsters. ''' (This list is ordered by gold drop and each gets a comment.)

Monster 1: Drops 40 gold, has 150hp. Is clearly a terrible choice for any kind of farming.

Monster 2: Drops 60 gold, has 350hp. Is clearly even worse for farming than Monster 1.

Level 1: Drops 70 gold, has 100hp. This monster is great for any kind of farming until around level 20.

Monster 3: Drops 100 gold, has 450hp. Is worse for farming than Monster 1, but better than Monster 2.

Level 5: Drops 120 gold, has 350hp. This is worse than Level 1, but not too terrible.

Level 10: Drops 250 gold, has 750hp. This is clearly a worthwhile choice for farming gold if you can take it down in 5 hits or less.

Monster 4: Drops 500 gold, has 500hp. This is great for farming gold if you're under level 25, but the lack of experience drops ruins it.

Level 15: Drops 650 gold, has 1100hp. This mob isn't ever worth farming unless you can get to an absurd amount of damage while below level 20...

Monster 5: Drops 1500 gold, has 2500hp. This mob is likely worse than level 20s in gold, however it's health makes it a bit bad for farming.

Level 20: Drops 2300 gold, has 2000hp. This mob is great for farming until you reach level 25.

Level 25: Drops 3700 gold, has 3000hp. This is the best mob for gold farming unless you can take down the level 35 mobs reasonably fast too.

Level 35: Drops 5500 gold, has 5500hp. These monsters are great for farming cores, but aren't quite as good as level 25s for pure gold farming.

Boss: Drops 15000 gold, has 50000hp. Want to hear a joke? This gold to hp ratio!  NEVER  farm this joke of an enemy.
