Complete every purchase category before waiting for the billion-dollar goal. First installations and full component sets have separate trophies. Repair breakdowns from the first category.

Your route to completion

Start a new run and tap Square button to earn the money for your first purchases. I would build automatic income before saving for the expensive upgrades. Roadmap divides this single run into building the windmill and checking the final purchases. Use Trophies for the exact row or technology behind an outstanding unlock.

Complete the button upgrade and both income boosts, fill all five component sets, then buy the three Education levels and their technologies. A first component trophy is only the start of that set. Once every purchase trophy is unlocked, stop spending and wait for Make a billion.

The completion reference gives a compact list of the purchase groups. Check the missing trophy solutions before starting another run.

Build the windmill and complete its upgrades

Start a new game. Tap Square button to generate starting money. Use L1 buttonL1 and R1 buttonR1 to cycle the three categories above the purchase list. Highlight the row you want and buy it. The first category has boosts and upgrades, the middle one has components, and the last one has technologies.

Begin with Upgrade "Press Button" and affordable components. Keep reinvesting as automatic income grows. Finish Millstone and Oil in the upgrade category. The middle category needs complete sets of stones, sails, windows, rails and wheels, not just one of each.

Buy the first, second and third Education upgrades. They open Gristmill, Oil mill and Sugar mill respectively. Switch to the technology category and purchase each unlocked technology. An Education trophy does not replace the separate technology purchase.

If a breakdown slows income, switch to the first upgrade category and select Repair. Resume purchases once the windmill is repaired.

Check every purchase and earn the billion

Check all three categories and the outstanding entries under Trophies. Finish Upgrade "Press Button", Millstone, Oil, all five component sets and the three Education levels. Visit the technology category for Gristmill, Oil mill and Sugar mill.

After the purchase trophies have unlocked, stop spending and let the windmill earn the money for Make a billion. If a breakdown slows income, select Repair in the first category.

If a purchase trophy remains locked, return to its individual solution and check the named row for further purchases. A first installation does not complete the full component set.

Make a billion

gold

Earn 1 000 000 000 $

Complete every purchase category, then stop spending and let the windmill earn $1,000,000,000. First check that the other 20 non-platinum purchase trophies have unlocked. If earnings slow because of a breakdown, switch to the first upgrade category and select Repair. If a purchase trophy is missing, use its own solution to find the unfinished row.
