Price by wave
| Wave | 1 | 5 | 10 | 15 | 20 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Shop price | 45 | 65 | 90 | 115 | 140 |
| Recycle for | 11 | 16 | 22 | 28 | 35 |
How this is worked out
Shop price = (base + wave + base × wave × 0.1), rounded down, before price modifiers (an items-price stat changes it by its percentage). Recycling returns 25% of that. From the game's ItemService.get_value and get_recycling_value.
