Out of curiosity. Did you do a curve for the return value for bot rental?

No matter how much my bots are worth I can't break 1M per day per bot. I think the highest I saw 997K for one day on a bot. I think that bot is worth 575M. So my guess is you used a curve to max out at just below 1M? I think for balance its probably good idea, but my goal was to beak 1M on one bot and I never got there. It doesn't matter because I have like 6B sitting in my account right now. It was just a goal I wanted to get darn it!

Yes the return is semi logarithmic and asymptotically approaches 1 million, which can be never reached.There are bots worth around 2.4 Bil (I never could gat one that good...), i did not try with those whether it hist 1 mil flat.
It might as there is also a +/- 5% rando fluctuation of returns and if you hit a +5% day, yeah, it could.

I think more video games should use bounding like that. It would prevent runaway situations with things like magic systems. Its a great approach.

I found that a simple linear system disavantages early players that struggle with their first bot.
So cheap bots get a guaranteed lowest return and from there it is attenuated logarithmically to the top end...
