As you know, Clicker Heroes is an idle game all about exponential numbers and... A lot of waiting.
However, when the number gets big, they start representing them with symbols and not letters (for example, 500k = 500,000), and I'm seeing numbers like 71,668%.
What are the symbols used and their exponential equalivants?
For consistency sake, please also include the metric symbols; K = kilo for numbers in thousands.
If you use the webversion this is on the right side:
Legend of Large Numbers
1K = 1,000 = One Thousand
1M = 1,000K = One Million
1B = 1,000M = One Billion
1T = 1,000B = One Trillion
1q = 1,000T = One Quadrillion
1Q = 1,000q = One Quintillion
1s = 1,000Q = One Sextillion
1S = 1,000s = One Septillion
1O = 1,000S = One Octillion
1N = 1,000O = One Nonillion
1d = 1,000N = One Decillion
1U = 1,000d = One Undecillion
1D = 1,000U = One Duodecillion
1! = 1,000D = One Tredecillion
1@ = 1,000! = One Quattuordecillion
1# = 1,000@ = One Quindecillion
1$ = 1,000# = One Sexdecillion
1% = 1,000$ = One Septendecillion
1^ = 1,000% = One Octodecillion
1& = 1,000^ = One Novemdecillion
1* = 1,000& = One Vigintillion
A lot > 1,000* < A lot
Here's a quick version I keep in a note:
1K=103 , 1M=106 , 1B=109 , 1T=1012, 1q=1015, 1Q=1018, 1s=1021, 1S=1024, 1O=1027, 1N=1030, 1d=1033, 1U=1036, 1D=1039, 1!=1042, 1@=1045, 1#=1048, 1$=1051, 1%=1054, 1^=1057, 1&=1060, 1*=1063
I do this because don't find words like "Tredecillion," or knowing the basic sequence, as useful as knowing the order of magnitude.
You can quickly see why no one can easily memorize this list: K, M, B, T follow metric then U.S. definitions, q:Q and s:S follow each other but d:D do not. O, N, and U don't have a pair. None of these letters are consistently ordered say by alphabet, only the !...* symbols have a knowable order if you use a US keyboard layout.
