Step 1
Define the economy pieces
Add resources, generators, production growth, purchase costs, upgrades, milestone multipliers, and optional prestige rules.
Product / Idle economies
Incremental Economy Simulator
Model resources, generators, upgrades, and prestige resets so idle economy pacing is easier to understand before numbers become production debt.

Balance insights
Main findings from the simulated horizons
Later resets are much faster than the first one.
Gold is shaping purchase pacing in this setup.
Reception has the strongest generator ROI.
Compare 24-hour, 7-day, 30-day, first-reset, and reset-count simulation horizons.
See reset pacing, generator ROI, low-impact content, bottlenecks, and final production by resource.
Use milestones to understand unlock timing, level thresholds, upgrade purchases, and prestige progression.
Public simulator
Want to test the concept first?
Use the free incremental economy simulator with local inputs before creating a saved workspace. It models resources, generators, upgrades, prestige resets, milestones, bottlenecks, ROI, and pacing insights without requiring an account.
Design compounding economies with the important signals visible.
Incremental Economy Simulator helps designers reason about idle and incremental systems as connected loops. You define resources, generator production, costs, upgrades, level milestones, and prestige behavior; the simulator runs rational progression and turns the output into readable balance insights.
Step 2
Run relevant horizons
Simulate short, medium, and prestige-focused windows so the main view can prioritize the insights a designer should actually inspect.
Step 3
Read pacing and efficiency
Review reset timing, later reset cadence, weak generators, ROI, bottlenecks, milestone timing, and final production rates.
What to expect from the feature
Expect a compact balance read for idle economies, not a raw event log. The simulator highlights whether prestige matters, whether progression stalls, which content is losing impact, and which resources or generators are shaping the pace.
Best for idle and incremental games
Use it for clickers, tycoons, idle RPG economies, automation chains, production loops, generator ladders, and prestige-driven progression.
Built around reset decisions
Prestige is evaluated as a tradeoff between resetting now and continuing to grow, so reset pacing is closer to how active players think.
Useful for balance reviews
Outputs are grouped into insights, horizons, production, milestones, and ROI so economy discussions can start from evidence instead of raw spreadsheets.
Make idle economy pacing easier to defend.
Use Incremental Economy Simulator when compounding production, upgrade curves, resource pressure, and prestige timing need to be understood as one player-facing loop.
