Upgrades

Within the Thicc Apple series and its spin-offs, the mainline progression involves various ways of upgrading your droppers to increase profits. These upgrades can come in different forms but are usually contained into four categories: thiccness, fertilizer, speed, and dropper upgrades.

In Thicc Apple Tycoon
In Thicc Apple Tycoon, upgrading within the game was pretty basic and does not follow the rules found in today's games. Each type of product was given two droppers each and could be upgraded to multiply profits. The upgrade progression went as follows: 1x to 2x, 2x to 4x, and 4x to 20x, in which the 20x turned the profit gold. The player could also buy decorative items to give percent boosts. This usually goes up to +160% given you have bought all decorations and the respective duplicator, but second floor droppers have an exception to this (Grapples go to +170%, Dark Matters go up to +180%, and Quackles go up to +182%).

In Thicc Apple Tycoon II
In Thicc Apple Tycoon II, upgrading consists of upgrading the number of droppers, the thiccness of such, and the fertilizer boost of each product. The player can have a total of four droppers per product and have a max thiccness of 12x (6x from dropper upgrades and 6x from the respective thiccinator). Fertilizer boosts involved buying to basic boosts and one type-specific fertilizer worth double as the other ones. The fertilizer upgrades would increase by +1% (+2% on the type-specific fertilizer) by each increase in tier. The player can buy additional decorative items that boost all profits.

In Thicc Pumpkin Patchers
In Thicc Pumpkin Patchers, the boosts given by fertilizer were now replaced by speed boosts. Players could buy four of each type of dropper and could upgrade thiccness to 5x and speed to +100% with pumpkins. Once a player has obtained enough candies, he or she could choose to enchant the droppers even more with an additional +1x thiccness and an addition +100% speed.

In Thicc Apple World
In Thicc Apple World, fertilizer boosts came back under the title "potency", to which all four types of upgrades were available in the game. For each product, the player could get a max of six droppers. Thiccness, and potency upgrades were not capped in this game, making them seemingly endless if you can purchase them, and speed was capped at x300% if you could upgrade that far. Upgrade costs were now done multiplicatively, meaning costs would rack up quickly. Speed was upgraded +25% at a time, and potency was upgraded +15% at a time.

In Crazy Thicc Coconuts
In Crazy Thicc Coconuts, upgrades were streamlined to a level-up system. The player would purchase a dropper, then a fertilizer upgrade (+25%), then a speed upgrade (+25%), and lastly a thiccness upgrade (+1x). This would be repeated four times (last thiccness upgrade increases to +6x), to which the player could buy one last upgrade to increase thiccness to +15x. Some coconuts received extra unique levels after that. Just like in Thicc Apple tycoon II, the fertilizer upgrade increases +3% each tier of coconuts (e.g. sugars, being the second tier, would get +28% per upgrade, maxing out at +112% compared to +100%).
