Did you find out a way to solve this problem too?

Around the breakeven point,

- the cheaper item is better because it starts producing sooner.


Nope. I'm ignoring the marginal cost on the assumption that a few minutes of revenue from buying a cheap item earlier is much less significant than the losses from being AFK for more than the 5-10 minutes a time machine costs.

- if the cheaper item has been upgraded more than the expensive item, the expensive one might be better because it would contribute more in the future (after upgrading)


I just treated upgrades as a single purchase with an output of X CPS and bought them when cheaper than time machines. Except for a few of the most crazy expensive ones available (I didn't accumulate enough overnight for them) I'm buying them as they unlock since with 50+ of everything they're all well above breakeven. When I get home I'll probably be buying all the +10% and maybe the +15% cookie flavors. Probably the kitten upgrade too even though I've no idea what that one will pay out.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?
