Rocker

Rocker is the fourth purchasable cheapest building in the Get a Little Gold game. It should be researched before it appears in the buildings menu.

Description: Rocker helps to separate alluvial placer gold from sand and gravel

Base price: 3800 gold

Base production: 16 gold per second

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

Special Ability Researches
Bathing gold multiplier can be calculated using the following formula:

$$\text {Bathing gold multiplier} ~ = ~ 1 + (\text {Number of Rockers} ~ \times ~ \text {Bathing gold ratio})$$

Bathing gold ratio depends on the level of the bathing gold special ability. It is 0.05 (5%) on the first level of bathing gold and 18 (1800%) on the fifth level of bathing gold.

For example if you have 80 rockers and completed Bathing gold 3 research your bathing gold multiplier will be 49 (1+(80*0.6)).

Rocker Production Calculations
Initial rocker production can be calculated using the following formula:

$$\text {Rocker production} ~ = ~ \text {RBP} ~ \times ~ \text {BRM}$$

where RBP is Rocker base production (16 gold per second)

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

Special ability of rocker is focused on increasing the production of pans and sluice boxes.

Rocker production can be further boosted by dredge's special ability Pumping gold.

Pit's special ability Digging gold also take a part in Rocker production as it increases base production of all buildings in game.

So the final formula of rocker production will look like this:

$$\text {Rocker production} ~ = ~ \text {RBP} ~ \times ~ \text {BRM} ~ \times ~ \text {PGM} ~ \times ~ \text {DGM}$$

where PGM is Pumping gold multiplier (multiplier to rocker base production from dredge's special ability)

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