Ice Tycoon 2 Income Tracker

Purpose of Income Tracking

Unlike auto farm scripts that obscure rates behind automation, tracking teaches the economy Slized Games built—knowledge that survives every patch and every rebirth reset.

How to Measure Sessions

Pick a stable five- or ten-minute window of active play—no idle menu time. Note starting cash, play normally pumping and selling, note ending cash. Divide cash gained by minutes for income per minute (IPM). Run three samples; average them to smooth random merchant bonuses.

Label each sample with context: water source tier (Seep 60 through Well 180), active code boost, trophy count, gems found, and major machines online. Store results in the tracker table to compare before/after purchases recommended on upgrade priority.

• Session length in minutes (5–10 recommended)
• Cash at start and cash at end
• Water source and dropper tier
• Boosts active (2x cash codes, events)
• Trophies and secret gems owned

Interpreting Results

If IPM jumps less than ten percent after an expensive upgrade, pause and read machines placement guides—geometry bottlenecks sometimes masquerade as bad purchases. If IPM doubles during a code window but flatlines after, your baseline was measured correctly; plan the next boost during mid-game spending sprees.

Compare IPM across rebirth cycles using the same measurement method. Post-rebirth IPM should exceed prior cycle peaks once rebirth upgrades kick in; if not, revisit rebirth calculator upgrade choices.

Income Tracker and Long-Term Goals

Tracking clarifies when to pursue trophies instead of grinding cash—sometimes trophy routes pause IPM but unlock +20% rebirth income worth the detour. Similarly, gem hunts pause factory expansion but add +5% permanent bonuses.

Share anonymized IPM benchmarks on Discord to help newcomers calibrate expectations. icetycoon2wiki may publish community median IPM tables after enough submissions—check announcements for data drops.

Sample Tracking Workflow

Day one: measure baseline IPM after Seep upgrade with no boosts. Day two: repeat after Stream purchase—expect double-digit percentage gains if routing is correct. Day three: redeem FIRST and label boosted IPM separately so you never confuse temporary doubling with permanent upgrades.

Before rebirth, run three ten-minute samples at 100% plot with full trophy and gem bonuses recorded in notes. Feed averages into rebirth calculator alongside rebirth guide checklists. After rebirth, rebuild IPM curves weekly until you exceed pre-reset peaks—if peaks never return, revisit rebirth upgrade priorities.
