If it is break even time, how is it calculated? For example, it takes 4 h to go from level 4 to level 5. At level 4, it takes 20 h at 800/h to produce 16,000 golds. If you upgrade to level 5 and wait for 4 hours, it takes more 16 hours at 1,000/h to produce the same amount of gold. The break even time here is then 20 h because you can produce the same amount of gold with a level 4 gold mine for 20 hours or if you wait for upgrade and produce gold for the rest of the time with a level 5 gold mine. The formula should be: break_even_time = (wait_time x new_speed) / (new_speed - old_speed).

This way, the break even times for each level should be: to level 1 = does not apply, to level 2 = 10 min, to L3 = 45 min, to L4 = 4 h, to L5 = 20 h, to L6 = 2 d 4 h, to L7 = 5 d 8 h, to L8 = 12 d 16 h, to L9 = 22 d, to L10 = 33 d 8 h, to L 11 = 30 d.

Isn't this correct? If so, the same logic applies to the elixir collector.
