Didn't know it was broken to begin with? Well it is. It's really great that you actually tried to implement tracking of this stat, but it's just really not useful for three reasons.

First, it's tracking gold you gained in the last minute regardless of whether you just switched areas. This makes it difficult to get an average since it's jumping all over the place.

Second, it requires you to wait for a minute or two while it begins to average out, and even then it fluctuates all over the place because of variables in monster spawn rate and the occasional chest coming to take a big giant dump all over everything.

Third, it's updated when you collect gold, and not when the gold becomes available on the field. This is bad because it forces you to sit there idle not touching anything, one slip up and you've ruined everything and have to wait another 1-2 minutes for it to average out again.

The solution, make gold per minute reset to 0 everytime you switch areas, and don't calculate gold when it's calculated, we don't need that, it's a silly way of doing things. Monster spawn rate is fixed, gold per monster is fixed, DPS is fixed, if these are static then there is no reason you can't project our earnings. Just calculate how many monsters we will kill in a minute and multiply that by the gold value, viola, an accurate gold per minute.

This would be really useful to players so we can project when we should be able to make our next advancement. This is an idling game, it only makes sense to give us the resources to make more efficient use of our idling.

I can't fathom how that could possibly be working as intended. I know you said you're with me, but the whole thing about the wording is just making excuses. It's a gold per minute stat, no ifs ands or buts, it's meant to gauge your gold production, and it doesn't do it very well sadly.

First, you don't have to wait 1-2 minutes to stabilize the results if you pick up some gold. You only have to wait 5-6 seconds for auto-pickups to start again.

Second, the value you want is already displayed - mouse over the warp buffs and divide the deLorean tooltip amount by 30.
