What This Calculator Counts
The current v39.0+ mode counts extra Tier 5 towers, non-T5 upgrade tiers, placed sacrificed tower cash, cash slider investment, pops, generated income, and Geraldo Paragon Power Totems.
Each category is capped before total power is calculated, then effective power is capped at 200,000 before converting power into degree.
How to Use the Degree Result
Use the estimated degree as a planning number before pressing the Paragon upgrade button. If a category is already capped, the target planner marks it as capped instead of suggesting more of that resource.
For Degree 100 planning, totems are usually the flexible final input because they add 2,000 power each and do not have a category cap.
