Better pecking 2 25 picks Triples base production of Pick 420000 1400 6 minutes
Better pecking 3 50 picks Quadruples base production of Pick 42 Million 42000 20 minutes
Better pecking 4 100 picks Quintuples base production of Pick 4.2 Billion 1.4 Million 1 hour
Better pecking 5 200 picks Sextuples base production of Pick 420 Billion 42 Million 3 hr. 20 min.
Better pecking 6 300 picks Septuples base production of Pick 42 Trillion 1.4 Billion 10 hours

Note: Effects from production researches stack. For example if you complete Better pecking 3 research, your total multiplier will be x24 (2 x 3 x 4).

## Special Ability Researches Edit

Icon Name Unlocks at Description Initial cost Cost per second Base research time
Cracking Gold 1 15 picks Each pick increases basic clicking power by 5 gold 37800 480 4 minutes
Cracking Gold 2 35 picks Each pick increases basic clicking power by 25 gold 34 Million 85000 20 minutes
Cracking Gold 3 75 picks Each pick increases basic clicking power by 375 gold 61.2 Billion 30 Million 1 hr. 40 min.
Cracking Gold 4 155 picks Each pick increases basic clicking power by 13125 gold 110 Trillion 11 Billion 8 hr. 20 min.
Cracking Gold 5 315 picks Each pick increases basic clicking power by 984375 gold 297 Quadrillion 5.94 Trillion 1 day 17 hr. 40 min.

Pick's special ability increases basic clicking power instead of gold produciton. The formula for calculating cracking gold bonus is following:

$\text {Cracking gold bonus} ~ = ~ \text {Number of Picks} ~ \times ~ \text {Cracking gold power}$

Cracking gold power depends on the level of the cracking gold special ability. It is 5 on the first level of cracking gold and 984375 on the fifth level of cracking gold.

For example if you have 50 picks and completed Cracking gold 2 research your cracking gold bonus will be 1250 (50*25).

## Pick Production Calculations Edit

Initial pick production can be calculated using the following formula:

$\text {Pick production} ~ = ~ \text {BPP} ~ \times ~ \text {BPM}$

where BPP is base pick production (2.5 gold per second)

and BPM stands for better pecking multiplier. It depends on the level of Better pecking production research. For example if player completed Better pecking 3 research, his BPM will be 24 (2 x 3 x 4).

Special ability of pick is focused on boosting GPC instead of GPS. That is why pick become almost useless as gold production source in the late game.

The only additional multiplier that influences pick's production is pit's Digging gold special ability as it influences all buildings in the game.

So final formula will look like this:

$\text {Final pick production} ~ = ~ \text {BPP} ~ \times ~ \text {BPM} ~ \times ~ \text {DGM}$

where DGM stands for digging gold multiplier (multiplier to all buildings base production from pit's special ability).
