Questions players ask
How long does the 150K Crafting Machine unlock take?
It depends on the player-entered wave reward, active hours, and Coin Boost cadence. Use the calculator to model your save. Most save files between Wave 17 and Wave 25 land between 6 and 30 active hours.
Does the Crafting Machine unlock affect offline income?
No. Offline income runs at a separate penalty rate (~35% slower waves, ~20% of active DPS). The Crafting Machine opens *recipe lines*; it does not change passive earnings.
What does the Coin Boost actually do?
The Shop Coin Boost grants ×2 coin drops for 180 seconds (3 minutes). The optimal boost window syncs the boost with combat.
Should I burn Coin Potions in the same window as the Coin Boost?
Yes — Coin Potions stack multiplicatively with the active boost. Cap at 3 stacked potions in a single window; the 4th has diminishing returns.
