Buying one more at a time misses the owned-count bonus that doubles income

Many idle games double a producer's output when you own enough of it. A button that always buys one, or always buys the maximum, wastes money around those thresholds. Here is how to compare the options and pick the one that pays back best.

Why this works

When a reward jumps at certain counts, the value of a purchase is the jump it reaches, not the single unit. Comparing a few sensible choices by gain per cost finds the buy that crosses a threshold, which neither always-one nor always-all can see.

When not to use it

Skip it if the player is meant to choose purchases themselves as the fun of the game, or if there are no thresholds. A suggested best buy then removes the thinking; show the numbers and let the player decide.
