i had the question of "is it worth it to boost your level 12 collectors?"

so i calculated the math behind paying actual dollars for green gems or boosting your collectors with a one week shield. here is the math:

GREEN GEM COST
1 week shield = 250 green gems
boosting level 12 gold collectors = 70 green gems per day
boosting all gold collectors for every day of the 1 week shield = 490 green gems

GOLD
gold production rate for 1 lvl 12 gold mine = 3500 gold per hour
so for all 7 gold mines = 24,500 gold per hour
which is 588,000 per day
which is 4,116,00 per week (unboosted, and with the one week shield)

BOOSTING WORTH
i measured one gold mine (unboosted for 1 minute, it made 58 gold)
then measured 1 gold mine (boosted for 1 minute, it made 116 gold)
so boosting doubles production rate.

so for 740 green gems (250 for week shield + (490 for boosting all gold collectors each day)) you can make 8,232,000 gold

as opposed to paying money for green gems, to get 8 million gold you need 2400 green gems. which cost 20 dollars. or boosting for 1 week will cost you about 7 dollars.
