Upgrades

The game features a variety of upgrades to boost profits and speed up the progress. Most necessary upgrades are short-term and require re-purchasing upon brainwashing, while a few optional boosts offer permanent bonuses. Upgrades can be obtained with people, lackeys, diamonds or real cash, depending on where and what the upgrade is.

Producer upgrades
Each producer can be upgraded for higher profits (people) and speed via a button in the bottom right of the producer. More info on this can be found on the Producers page.

Upgrades menu
The upgrades menu is available from the beginning of the game and accessed through one of the buttons on the bottom of the screen. Here you can purchase upgrades with people in order to boost profits either per-producer or globally for all producers in a stage. To view a list of available upgrades and their costs, see the List of upgrades page.

Lackey upgrades
Brainwashing allows the player to gain lackeys, which can be used to buy powerful lackey upgrades in the Inner Circle menu. These are listed in order on the Lackeys page.

Shop upgrades
The game offers a shop menu where the player can purchase more permanent upgrades and boosts, as well as remove ads and obtain VIP bonuses. All purchases require either diamonds or real cash, making them optional but worth it if purchased. For an overview of these upgrades, see the Shop page, and the related Special offers page.

Trivia

 * Another good way to obtain profit boosts for free is through the Ad bonuses available to the player.
