    Nice! Congrats. You should be hitting the gold trophy before you know it.

    But shhhh on too much details.. Cheers!! ^^

    Haha oops! No more details

    Btw, am wondering if you would know anything about setting up a cascade for the warehouse? I tried reading this guide here but it is still pretty confusing to me: (you need an account to see links)

    What do you mean by setting up a cascade?

    Like the table where there are the prices/times for the loading in the warehouse?

    I saw that page before but it's too much mathematics for me to handle hahahaha.
    Well, I mean if you create an excel spreadsheet with the calculations you could do it.

    But for me, once I hit the minimum for the gold trophy and avatar I just stopped playing, didn't check it and then checked back on the 3rd of the next month for the rewards and never touched it again. D:

    Apparently it is a super-efficient way of loading plushies into the warehouse so we do not have to wait too long for it to be ready!

    But actually, after thinking about it, I'm too lazy to figure it out because your method is guaranteed to hit the 1mil mark and that is enough for both the trophy and avatar haha!

    Yep - unless you're going for the 1m COH + 2m plushies where you get 320k then you can probably try that.

    Just FYI,

    There's a thank you button and a +rep button below an OP if you'd like to give thanks.

    Posting 'thanks' is seen as unnecessary and I once got an earful from Joe for doing it xD

    I read about the cascading and did some digging about it. Apparently it's something similar to this:

    For example, 1 batch of 100, 1 batch of 200, 1 batch of 300, all the way up to a batch of 1800. Those get to the warehouse, and once the smallest batch ships, the shipping times recalculate for the rest, and speeds it up.
    So you make a few different batches - don't ship whenever they're ready. Wait till the whole batch is ready and then ship it 1 by 1, starting from the smallest. This will recalculate everything else and make them load faster. But the issue is finding out this calculation - some things to ask would be, should you start it alternately? Like 1800 - 100 - 1700 - 200 - 1600 - 300 so that they all churn out together? Or do you produce starting from 1800 and let the bigger batches start loading first?

    I guess that's what the page you shared means... finding out the formula. But I'm going to give what I mentioned in the quotes a shot. Just thought I'd share this with you.

    I think I sort of understand the concept and get it.. but it's a lot of work to do.

    1. Finding out the optimum worker build - the ratio of 1:10 should be kept but the amount varies depending on how much you build.
    There definitely is an optimum but I'm not really interested to invest so much time to find out because all I cared for was the trophy/avatar. Apparently even the PT pros have a hard time getting to 2m plushies, and the reward of 320k np is tbh very low compared to the time investment in the game - could earn a lot more from restocking.

    2. It seems like the proper cascading method would be to build large quantities to smaller quantities, then let them build throughout the day, while shipping the smaller quantities to "cascade" the larger builds, making them ship FASTER.

    To make 3300x18 batches for every update, you'll need 20+ mil COH (incl. RM, workers, ship), and it'll take at least 1.5-2 days for the first batch to load and then cascade. To make 2mil plushies, you'll need 15mil COH on your first week.
    So it seems like in their first week they grind it out to hit 15 mil COH on the first week. To start, you go about as per what I mentioned in my guide, and once you hit 50-75k COH you should be building EVERY UPDATE with 18 x 100. So building every update means selling every update too so your COH escalates really quickly. Once you finish your first week you should have 15 ~ 20m to start your cascading.

    Here's an example of what your day could look like:

    1st update: 14 x 3300

    2nd update: 14 x 2800

    3rd update: 14 x 1800

    4th update: 14 x 1400

    5th update: 14 x 1200

    6th update: 14 x 900

    7th update: 14 x 800

    8th update: 14 x 600


    So 14 x 8 = 112 jobs in your warehouse. If you didn't ship anything, it would take DAYS for the 3300s to load, but because you cascaded, most of your plushies (if not all) will be ready to ship just a couple hours before the next day officially starts.

    Assuming you 'caught' the update right when it turned, of course. So that's how cascading works. The reason I listed 14 jobs per update is because I have yet to get my workers to constantly give me more per hour

    *The above amounts will give you over 100k plushies production a day.
    Let's say you use the example above, you need to find the worker combination that is able to produce this. Which means your workers need to be able to clear the first update of 14 x 3300 at the end of 8 hours - it will take some bit of trial and error of few days. There definitely is an answer somewhere but people usually don't share it - they love the puzzle behind PT.

    So you're supposed to be making faster loading batches towards the end of the day so that after the last update you should be loading all of your plushies in the warehouse. Then when your smaller batches are ready - SHIP THEM. Then as more and more get ready - you keep shipping them. Then the final batch will be able to ship a few hours before the next day's first update.

    Just thinking of this means you need to be playing almost the whole day - checking at different intervals of the day. And you may not even make the 2m plushie count at the end of the month. I think it's a lot of effort for very little gain. But it sounds like a lot of fun if you manage to get it.

    I hope my explanation helps. I hope you succeed in it hahaha.

    I will definitely try this! Been struggling with PT always.
    I just want the avatar, when should I start best? 7 days before end of the month??
