comments for The Earth Tree

Interesting to have independent reset layers going, but needs automation sooner. With how quick lower resources grow, not having buy max on slate and glass just makes it a clicky chore.

whats the point of glass milestones if they get reset after every challenge?

This was quite fun. I really enjoy that you have a rough sense of how long it will take you to reach a certain point. Like if you need 20 coal, it's not some unknowable thing that might take the age of the universe if you haven't met every prerequisite. I especially liked that it often felt like there were many paths to reach a goal. You could sometimes skip side upgrades and just grind the direct path. That said, I did reach a point right around steel where I got tired of grinding the same thing for the fifth or sixth time to get some automation going and decided to call it for now.

No no, don't make a way for glass to not be reset by challenges later in the game. It shouldn't be reset by challenges. Within the challenge is okay. When you exit, you should be getting glass back.

There's too much resetting, not enough automation or locking of the milestones/upgrades in the later layers. I've got four upgrades and one buyable in the 5th tier, and none of them lock milestones or keep upgrades of any previous tiers, so it just becomes boring and tedious having to go through everything over and over and over.

cool tree :)

Nice, another high quality TMT game!

Glass being fully reset even after the Iron challenges is not okay. Fix that.

i'm on the slate layer, everything seems to just be "double this resource gain". quite generic but the pacing is alright

I would normally treat the constant question of whether you really want to reach a milestone or do a challenge as a feature, except the question of what clears what is (without actually experiencing it enough times to remember) clear as, well, earth.

The "None" choice upgrade in Steel is a bad move. It doesn't give any bonuses, and it unlocks something you don't have access to for a long time. This shouldn't be a part of the choices there. I don't even know where Compost is, so that option shouldn't be available if I haven't even touched it.

So now that None is removed, those of us who had picked it are now without a Steel choice. Also, Magnetic Dirt I doesn't seem to be adding any new upgrades, since I somehow have that now.
