What this board compares

The comparison uses the 5 September 2026 workbench: a 5-hay starting bag, cooldown between pulls, grab size, and a separate 50-diamond bomb. Buy the coin track that matches the delay you can see. The bomb is a diamond purchase, not a substitute for those tracks.

S tier

upgradesBackpackIn the 5 September 2026 recording, Backpack raised carry capacity from 5 to 20, 60, and a shown 160. The player bought it first because five hay meant a sell after a few pulls. Editorial pick for a tiny bag, not an official rank.

Player decision Buy the next backpack tier when you are leaving to sell before a pull streak feels useful. If your bag is already large, spend on cooldown or grab instead.

A tier

upgradesCooldownCooldown shortened the wait between pulls: 0.5s, 0.4s, 0.3s, and a shown 0.22s. The first tier cost 90 coins, more than the first backpack tier and less than the second. Editorial placement for the moment when waiting, not walking, is the delay.

Player decision Take a cooldown tier when you are standing at the hay waiting between prompts and the bag is not forcing you back yet.

upgradesGrabGrab raised hay per pull from 1 to 2, with 4 shown at 675 coins. It multiplies backpack and cooldown instead of replacing them. Editorial mid-session pick from that one board.

Player decision Buy grab when each pull barely opens the pile and you can afford it without emptying the bag upgrade you still need.

B tier

upgradesBombThe bomb stand in the same recording sold a radius-3 bomb for 50 diamonds. It deletes a patch of hay. It is a clearing tool after you have diamond income, not the first coin upgrade.

Player decision Spend diamonds on a bomb only on hay you have not cleared, then look through the gap before you buy another.

No. The letters compare how the recorded tracks affected selling and clearing in one session. Your board can show different prices, and a later update can add tracks that were not on that board.
