LOL Why is this still protected?

Reposting the formula since people might not see it since it was posted four months ago... (assuming it didn't change)

THE FIRST UPGRADE

Wild Spore adds the remainder of OreValue / 5000 to the ore value. It then doubles the result.

Example: An ore worth $8k goes through Wild Spore for the first time. Wild Spore adds $3k (the remainder of 8,000/5,000) to the ore. The ore is now worth $11k. Wild Spore then doubles this amount, resulting in an ore worth $22k.

ALL UPGRADES AFTER THAT

Wild Spore adds the remainder of OreValue / 10000 to the ore value.

Example: An ore worth $22k goes through its second Wild Spore. Wild Spore adds $2k (the remainder of 22,000/10,000), resulting in an ore worth $24k.

'''There is no upgrade cap. On ore worth multiples of $625, the upgrades after the first one eventually become ineffective. This is because the ore value eventually becomes divisible by $10,000, and when that happens, the remainder of OreValue / 10,000 becomes 0, resulting in the original ore value with nothing changed. The upgrades after the first upgrade are also ineffective if the ore value is high enough (millions) because this upgrader can only add up to $9999 on the upgrades after the first, using the relevant formula above. Wild Spore is like Portable Flamethrower's +$5000: both become ineffective for upgrading ore once the ore value is in the millions (after Wild Spore's first upgrade).'''
