The Cheap [CHEAP] modifier reduces the cost of purchasing bias or multi upgrades.
- Reduces the price of upgrades according to the following formula:
price = (((ladder_number * 0.5) + 1) ^ target_upgrade_level) * 0.5
- This cannot reduce the price of upgrades below 1.

- The [CHEAP] modifier originally was a flat multiplier to the cost of upgrades, but was quickly changed to scale more aggressively based on the current ladder.
- For Round 300 of Season 2, a number of copies of the [CHEAP] modifier were implemented that stacked their effects, allowing players to reach ridiculous multi and bias values - these were necessary to reach the 1 quadrillion point target.
