Core Upgrades

Upgrades define the early and mid-game Oof economy. The eight foundational upgrades each carry a base cost, an algorithmic boost yield, and a calculated ROI score. Spend order matters more than spend volume — clicking Noob Production ten times is worth more than a single Oof Multiplier at the start of a run.

S+Foundational

Noob Production

Adds +0.50x baseline Noob output. Universally the first upgrade you should max. ROI 50.00, the highest in the matrix.
