comments for The Ore Tree
sort: go back
After grinding for a bit, into the "C" & "MS" sections... Please for our sanity, and our mice, give us a way to either; auto purchase upgrades, or keep them. Please, I'd prefer not another mouse to fly away. xD
developer response: I've released an update that adds more automation and makes all of it easier to get. Thanks for playing!
I really like the concept but the progress to coal is very very grindy with the stone buyables and upgrades which probably explains the low rating. My suggestion would be to add some qol upgrades around milestone 10 (maybe unlock 1st coal buyable here?) as this would keep the core feel but reduce the upgrade buying grind somewhat.
developer response: Thank you for playing and the recommendations! Some upgrades will be rebalanced in the next update.
Alright, I have now finished everything in the current state of the game. Here is my opinion on it at the moment:
We need a Stone Upgrade auto buyer by next update... Though I suspect there is already a plan in the works for this, I recommend putting it in the MS layer. Aside from that thing and few upgrades that don't seem to have the proper math applied to them, it's good. Hope the update comes out soon.
developer response: I appreciate the feedback! I'm working on a balancing/bigfix update right now, if you could tell me what upgrades are broken, it would really help! Thanks again!
I have 1 coal, and I'm going back through the regular stone section again. And noticed that Stone upgrade 12, does not seem to work properly, it's supposed to be x4, and instead it gave me +25%-ish.
developer response: I believe this is because other upgrades, such as PSC, lost effectiveness. Thanks for being kind enough to let me know, though!
Iron and Lead seem to just do nothing right now, so I shall wait for the next update.
developer response: Thanks for playing! The next update will be out in 1-2 weeks.
I just click continue play after beating game, and my progress vanished. How i can get back my progress after game update.
developer response: This is because you gained Iron/Lead, which you can use to buy upgrades! it looks like progress vanished (since i forgot to make Iron/Lead stay visible after the reset), but it's still there. I'll roll out a fix for this. Thanks for playing!
Game's stuck on the Loading... screen.
developer response: Hmm, I'm not sure why that could be. I've never had this problem and as far as I can tell no one else has either. I'll look into it, bit for the meantime, try refreshing the page or resetting your cookies. Thanks!
I made it to 6 MS. Thoughts:
Please consider adding Buy Max or Auto Buy of buyables to the milestones as well, if you haven't already (or add some of your automation much earlier). Also consider % gain on reset every second in your milestones if you don't have it. I also want to echo the autobuy of upgrades. This could be really fun, but the continued grind between C and MS layers make it frustrating.
developer response: All of those features are in the game, you only have a little more to go. I will probably rebalance it, though. Thanks for playing and leaving a comment!
its hard to resist the urge to get
i chose lead and there are no upgrades in it? idk if this is a bug or you havent made it yet
developer response: Thanks for playing! This is the current endgame.
bruh clicked play again and it reset the game wtf
developer response: It is a play again button, but I'll try to add multiple saves or just change it into "continue playing", as that's what most other mods do. Thanks for playing!
Love the concept so far! But, just as everyone else has said, automation would be nice lol. This has great potential and I am excited to see how future updates go :)
developer response: Thank you so much for your kind words! There will be a small update in 1-2 days fixing any problems that were reported so far. Think of the current version as an unofficial release :)
maybe if you show us the actual formula when you hover over upgrades or buyables and not showing us "(insert a number lower than 100)% efficiency"???
developer response: I've already received this feedback, and am currently working on rewriting the game to feature all formulas. It should be out in a few hours to a day. Thank you for playing my game!
took me 3hours to get to the end of this "demo"? not bad for a first release ngl.
developer response: Thank you for playing! The reason it's so long is because i kept adding stuff instead of just putting out what i already had. There's still a lot more to come, though. Thanks again for playing!
Only thing I would have liked was making it so that if you had eg 100k points in challenge 1 (0 completions) and finished then it would give completions up to 100k as the goal (since the penalty does not grow with each). otherwise really great!
developer response: Thank you for the kind words! I'll try to make it so you can bulk-complete challenges in the next update.
Great so far - Hit current end-game and got a bit miffed for the reset.
Figured out i could HOLD to mass-buy way to late
developer response: Thanks for playing and the kind words!
So I just reset for 2 iron and gained nothing to reset all progress... There's no upgrades to buy, lead didn't increase in price, and I have no bonuses but have effectively lost all progress. Shouldn't I have gained something? It shows I have 2 iron, but there's nothing I can do with it.
developer response: It's the current endgame. Iron and lead will be in the next update. Thanks for playing!
And I believe it's a great game
developer response: Thank you for playing and the kind words!
No autobuy for upgrades and buyable its pain.
developer response: Thanks for playing! An update is out now that makes QoL significantly easier to reach. I hope you continue to play my game!
