Current Events > I'mHappy the Totem event is back in BTD6.

(+) Yeah! (+)

Best way to get the Instant Towers which help me a lot in Half-Cash mode. Still struggling with some of the harder maps since im terrible with micro.

@Garioshi

Big fan of the insta-monkey events for sure. I think I'm nearing the end of my current BTD6 phase, but I'll probably stick around until this event ends.

What can you tell me about the Battle game? I've been thinking about checking it out

I don't fuck with Battles. I don't like PvP and it's the epitome of freemium garbage.

Yeah, thats how I feel as well

If I were to put another Rubber To Cash Alchemist here -

Is that a good idea to make even more money? Or is a single one all you need at the start?

Your money is much better spent buying more farms.

xx4 or xx5 engineer is good if placed after the alchemists

Okay

Right now I'm just trying to get enough money going to see the Paragons I haven't seen yet, so trying to make fast cash. There is a lot of the Farms that I don't understand, tbh. I usually go 2x3 with them, and then bump them up to 2x4. Sometimes one of them might be a x23 because I don't know which provides the most cash. But the xx5 thing looks like it does nothing. Banks seem to be a good way to go as well, and sometimes I just go the Bank rout, but I don't know how they work. Do they make more money the more money they have in them. Like if you have $100 in it, after the round you will have $210, a $110 profit. Then from $210 it will take you to $360, a $150 profit. Is that why you can put money into the Banks?

Banks hold $7000 without Knowledge; $9500 with. IMF Loan increases this cap to $10000/$12500. They generate $230 per round (increased $40 for each top path upgrade), plus 15% interest at the end of each round, which rapidly snowballs. IMF Loan's activated ability gives you $10K, but puts you into $10K of debt that you pay off by docking 50% of all other income. Monkey-Nomics gives you $10K, no questions asked. Banks are by far my favorite way to make money, and I highly recommend them.

so, the answer to this question is... quite nuanced.

024 gives more money per round than 204. 203 and 023 give the same amount, unless you have the monkey knowledge that increases banana farm yield (I don't remember what it's called); in which case 023 gives more.

but that's assuming you're buying the full farm in one big purchase. in the early-game, you probably can't do that. buying 200 and then building into 203 can be more efficient if you're buying each upgrade one at a time.

the most efficient farm (that is; the farm which has the biggest yield-per-round per dollar spent) is 230 (whether or not you have Benjamin active; with Ben it increases the margin).

generally, the best farming strategy for early game is this:
200 farm -> 220
buy another farm. upgrade to 202 (the bottom path's increased sellback value is important). sell it when selling would give you enough money to upgrade the other farm to 230.

boat farming is also really good -- particularly because the boats make you money while also acting as your defense, which you don't get from regular banana farms. for this, you focus primarily on bottom path farms because each XX4 (up to ten of them) gives a boost to bottom path boat's cash generation. a bunch of 003 boats, a 005 (upgrade any of them to 013 or 023 as needed), and ten 024 farms can generate some serious cash.

420 generates the most cash out of any of the 4th-tier farms; 520 generates the most cash out of the 5th-tier farms. getting a bunch of 420s is also your best bet if you're going for a big monkeyopolis (because it costs the most).

040 (and eventually 050) engineer are really strong for farming as well because overclock speeds up their cash generation. this is especially effective on 420 and 520.

But the xx5 thing looks like it does nothing.

it generates extra money each round in addition to the regular XX4 stuff. it also acts as a mini version of the Banana Farmer power. so if you place a XX5 farm in the middle of a bunch of precisely-placed 420 farms, the banana crates will collect automatically.

Monkeyopolis got nerfed hard in this last update, but it's still really good for saving space and increasing overall income generation

Thanks!
