</>What does Gold Rush do?
Gold Rush injects money directly into Globals.currencies['money'] and bumps your max_money ceiling so level-gated content unlocks along with the payout. Best used early to skip the crawl past your first few upgrades, or mid-game to buy out an entire research tier in one keystroke. Pairs obviously with Fire Sale for instant mass upgrades. Slider range 1k to 1 quadrillion (1e15) — at the upper end you'll unlock every money-gated feature in one press.
</>What is Gold Rush?
Gold Rush is a money helper mod for Upload Labs by ProjectMods. It writes directly to Globals.currencies['money'] and raises the max_money ceiling so level-gated upgrades unlock alongside the payout. The slider scales from 1,000 to 1 quadrillion (1e15) per press, letting you skip the early grind or buy out a full research tier in one keystroke. Pairs with Fire Sale for instant mass upgrades.
</>Common questions about Gold Rush
What does the 1k to 1 quadrillion slider range actually do in Gold Rush?
The slider sets exactly how much money Gold Rush adds to your Upload Labs balance per press, on a logarithmic scale from 1,000 at the bottom to 1 quadrillion (1e15) at the top. Small values are useful for nudging yourself past a single upgrade wall without trivializing the game, while the upper end is designed to unlock every money-gated feature in one keystroke. Because the payout is applied directly to Globals.currencies['money'], the increment is exact, repeatable, and not capped by income multipliers, prestige modifiers, or any other in-game economy logic. You set the number, press the key, the money lands.
Why does Gold Rush also raise the max_money ceiling, and what does that unlock?
Upload Labs gates a lot of late-tier content behind a max_money threshold rather than just a current balance check, which means handing yourself trillions of dollars alone would not unlock the research tiers and upgrades that key off your lifetime cap. Gold Rush bumps the max_money value in lockstep with the payout so the game registers that you have legitimately reached the new tier, and the level-gated content unlocks along with the cash. Without that ceiling bump you would see the balance jump but the upgrade menu would stay locked, which is exactly the wall this mod is built to remove.
What is the best Gold Rush slider amount for mid-game versus late-game Upload Labs runs?
For mid-game, somewhere in the 1 million to 1 billion range tends to feel best. It lets you buy out a research tier or two without skipping the parts of the loop that are actually fun, and it preserves a sense of progression. For late-game, the 1 trillion to 1 quadrillion end of the slider is more appropriate, because the upgrade costs themselves scale into those orders of magnitude and smaller payouts barely move the needle. If you want to fully unlock everything in one press, set the slider to 1e15. If you want a more measured boost, start an order of magnitude below your next target upgrade.
How does Gold Rush pair with Fire Sale for instant mass upgrades?
Fire Sale handles the buying side of the loop, automatically purchasing upgrades you can afford. Gold Rush handles the funding side, giving you a balance large enough to be worth spending. Used together, the workflow is: press Gold Rush at the desired slider value, then trigger Fire Sale to mass-purchase every upgrade unlocked by that injection. Because Gold Rush also raises max_money, level-gated upgrades that Fire Sale would otherwise skip become eligible for purchase in the same pass. The combo turns what would normally be twenty minutes of menu clicking into a two-press sequence, which is the intended pairing for both mods.
Does the money from Gold Rush persist if I toggle the mod off in Upload Labs?
Yes. Gold Rush writes directly to the live Globals.currencies['money'] value and the max_money ceiling, both of which are part of the save state, not runtime overlays. Once you press the hotkey the change is baked into the game's economy and will be written to disk on the next save just like any in-game income. Toggling the Gold Rush mod off afterwards has no effect on the money already injected or on the raised max_money cap. If you want to undo a Gold Rush press you would need to roll back to an earlier save, since there is no in-mod reverse function and the game treats the new balance as legitimate.
