Selling point for pure essence

[JeroenDeDauw]

I've been wondering for some time about what the best point is to sell a pure essence. Do you sell late and get the highest possible sale value, or do you sell early for a lower sale value and accumulate interest?

Unless I'm misunderstanding something, the optimal selling point is wave 38, where one gains 11535 moneys (interest till fruit round included). See the full comparison here: https://gist.github.com/JeroenDeDauw/1bd9268205ade939dfb9

The one input there I'm not sure about is the wave duration. This varies. Playing in a way that keeps waves alive as long as possible without losing lives is advantagous, so you might want to run the scrip with a different value for average wave duration.

Thanks for sharing! I've never worked out the math myself, but just guessed somewhere in the 40's was good. Now I know. The only thing that would throw it off is if you or your opponents are rushing things, you can use it as leverage to take their lives or save your own. Other than that it looks like your calcs would be the way to go.
