Beginner route step

Sell Lemons Open new income sources

Sell Lemons currently has eight listed income sources. The useful beginner rule is not just "buy the next thing": buy the next source, test its first upgrades, then stop over-upgrading the previous source when the new one becomes the carry.

Move cash into the source that actually carries

Use this as a focused route article.

Read the steps once, return to the game, and test the route with one measured run before spending more cash.

  • You can name your strongest current income source.
  • You know the unlock cost and manager cost for the next source.
  • You tested one cash or speed upgrade on the new source before returning to old buttons.

Do this in order

  1. Use Lemon Stand only as the starter baseline: buy Cash Register automation, then compare Juicer, Cup Stand, Billboard, and later upgrades by the next timed run.
  2. Move into LemonDash at $17,000, then test Higher Fees and Company Vehicle before spending too long on stand upgrades.
  3. When Lemon Depot opens at $13.5 billion, treat it as a real source change: Bigger Fleet and Refrigerated Trucks are usually more meaningful than another cheap-looking old button.
  4. For Trading, Labs, Robotics, Republic, and LemonX, do the same pattern: buy the source, buy the cheapest relevant source upgrade, then manager only after the source is carrying.

Ready to move on when

  • You can name your strongest current income source.
  • You know the unlock cost and manager cost for the next source.
  • You tested one cash or speed upgrade on the new source before returning to old buttons.
  • Your cash is not spread evenly across weak old sources just because their buttons are cheaper.

Income source order

SourceUnlockManagerUse it for
1stLemon Stand$1$100Starter cash loop

Buy the stand, Juicer, Cup Stand, and Cash Register before treating later stand upgrades as optional payback checks.

2ndLemonDash$17,000$995,000First new source

Unlock it after the stand is stable, then compare Higher Fees and Company Vehicle before spending deep into decorations.

3rdLemon Depot$13.5 billion$14 trillionLogistics jump

This is where the old starter loop should stop receiving equal cash. Test Bigger Fleet and Refrigerated Trucks as the first Depot boosts.

4thLemon Trading$260 quadrillion$85.5 quintillionMid-game source

Buy once Depot upgrades cannot carry the next milestone. Early Trading upgrades mix speed and cash, so do not judge by unlock price alone.

5thLemon Labs$145 septillion$250 nonillionScience income tier

Move here after Trading is strong enough to rebuild momentum. Labs has many cash and speed upgrades, so automate only after it becomes the run's carry.

6thLemon Robotics$140 duodecillion$720 tredecillionLate-game production

Treat Robotics as a major capital jump. Upgrade Labs first, then use Robotics upgrades when they beat more old-source spending.

7thLemon Republic$275 septendecillion$4.3 vigintillionEmpire source

Republic also leads toward Launch Pad progress for LemonX. Buy it when Robotics can no longer move the run efficiently.

8thLemonX$88.5 sexvigintillion$26.5 novemvigintillionFinal listed source

This is the advanced space source after Lemon Republic. Expect huge manager timing gaps; prioritize the earliest useful speed or cash upgrades first.
