In the spreadsheet, you can use the Totem of Prosperity variable to simulate collecting when the yellow $ appears by subtracting 3 from it. In fact, you can simulate collecting at any point between yellow $ first appearance (-3 to the variable) to green $ first appearance (0 change to the variable) using a decimal in the variable box. Furthermore, the Human collection factor variable pads the end of the time, thus simulating how long it takes you after a building turns green before you collect it. All of the charts update automatically when you change variables. Feel free to download a copy of the spreadsheet and change the numbers however you want it to calculate.
