TBOD² conveyor order matters only to the extent that the live devices respond to incoming value, timing, conditions, or positioning. The official listing confirms unique upgraders but does not publish formulas. Test sequence directly and judge the whole line by completed money, not by the largest item that happens to survive.
Save the original baseline
Before moving anything, record the device order from dropper to collector. Take a screenshot if possible. Watch several items and note value before each device, final value, completed sales during a fixed interval, and weather. Confirm that every item stays on the path.
This baseline is also your rollback. If an experiment lowers income or breaks the line, restore the photographed order and confirm the old result before trying a different pair.
Test one pair at a time
Swap only two adjacent effects, then repeat the same sample. If the final item value changes consistently, sequence affects at least one device. If single-item value is equal but completed income changes, the swap affects travel or processing timing.
Do not rebuild the whole belt between samples. Multiple changes can produce a higher result without revealing the useful cause, and they make rollback harder.
Recognize likely effect types
A flat-looking device produces a similar increase at different inputs. A scaling-looking device creates a larger absolute change from a larger input. A conditional device may trigger only after a threshold, tag, or prior effect. A throughput device changes the number of successful sales rather than value per item.
The common math intuition—flat increases before scaling effects—can be a test hypothesis, but it is not an established TBOD² formula. Verify it with the actual values. If a device has visible instructions, those conditions take priority over the general idea.
Count successful throughput
An order that creates a larger final number can still earn less when items queue, fall, miss an active region, or take longer to reach the collector. Count completed sales in equal intervals and multiply by average sale value only as a cross-check. The actual balance change is the deciding result.
Control weather and permanent effects
Community reporting describes weather that can affect income. Test sequence under the same displayed event, preferably an ordinary stable period. Do not compare a Fog interval with a clear interval and credit the entire change to the belt.
Likewise, do not buy a Bit, rebirth for Essence, or activate another global improvement between sequence samples. Those changes alter the whole line and erase the clean comparison.
Troubleshoot missed upgraders
Move the camera low enough to see the item enter the actual effect region. Check alignment at both entry and exit. Large models can hide a belt gap. If an item reaches the device but shows no value change, test several passes and read for a requirement.
If a device works only in one orientation or location, preserve the functional path even when a theoretical order looks better. Reliability is part of optimization. A 100% successful modest route usually beats an unstable maximum.
Build a practical final order
Keep early effects that reliably prepare the item, place verified scaling or conditional effects where their live tests perform best, and minimize path length that adds no value. Ensure the collector has a clean final approach. Recheck completed income after every meaningful group.
When a new upgrader is purchased, test it first at the easiest reliable insertion point. Establish its effect before reorganizing older devices. The all-upgraders guide helps record its role; best upgrade order helps decide whether it was worth buying now.
Conveyor order FAQ
Is there one published perfect order?
No official formula or complete order is published. Current device effects, account progression, and physical reliability determine the best live sequence.
Should additive effects come first?
That is a reasonable test when an effect truly behaves additively and a later one scales incoming value. Confirm both behaviors before keeping the order.
Why did a higher-value setup earn less?
It may complete fewer sales because items queue, miss, or travel longer. Compare actual balance change over equal time.
How many devices should I move at once?
One adjacent pair is safest. It isolates the result and makes rollback simple.
What if the old order is lost?
Rebuild from dropper to collector, verifying one device at a time. Prioritize a complete sale path before maximizing value.
Version note: conveyor formulas are not stated on the official listing. All sequence conclusions should come from repeated Update 1 samples in the correct Roblox place.
