not sure how to progress past the skill tree, tried a bunch of different combinations but i hit a wall at the same spot
Feels like you're crawling to just reach the next something around 6.5 mil tubas / before heavy electron achievement. Hard to tell if you just need to sit in energies or very slowly push quarks. As I can't tell if the 225quark upgrade or the muon energy is closer.
One of the better tree mods out there.
Good pacing (till tier 5), good automation, plenty of content.
Tier 4 is somewhat grindy, tier 5 becomes a pain.
Too many goals to reach, too many knobs to turn.
Each choice becomes more and more obscure, like what's better - X times Ascension or Y times Transcension? Which synergises better with 5 of the 20 other possible buffs?
Testing how each set of choices affects a goal takes more and more time, and there are multiple goals (quarks, tokens, shards, challenges, and so on).

developer response: understandable criticism, that kind of tweaking and micromanagement isn't for everyone
It'd be really nice to have a way to not get the annoying pop-up when respecing the tree
For anybody having trouble at the upgrade tree era like I was, I just now noticed one of the Ascension upgrades keeps and gives bonuses based on Ascension count just like the Transcendance count upgrade, and later upgrades also increase count gain, so after keeping that upgrade on higher resets grind Ascension count a little to get faster progress.
OMG tuba dropped a new game!
developer response: This game is from 2023
Quite decent tree game with nice overall pacing and few "mandatory" bottlenecks, but there are some problems or inconveniences too.
1) - As many other people already addressed, somewhere in T5 you can get really stuck because at that point it's not obvious you need to have a substantial amount of manual 'Ascension' count thanks to a new upgrade (4-1) in order to make progress.
2) - Later on, both 'Transcend' and 'Reincarnate' layer should have a passive "manual" reset counter gain because some upgrades directly relate to them and at that point manual reset serve no other purpose.
3) - In 'Incrementy' there should be a milestone for ~1 million sacrifice multiplier that auto-buys the manifolds.
4) - Somewhere at the achievements (best would have been the 10 SP upgrade one) there should be an 1% passive SP point gain QoL because at that point reseting at SP layer is just a plus annoyance and that layer serves no purpose other than boosting 3 of its upgrades multipliers

developer response: good points, although I disagree with your QoL suggestions. that would be covered in the next prestige layer if it existed
For those stuck in the Thermodynamics part of the upgrade tree, you have to physically click the ascension and transcension points button (& maybe the prestige button too). It doesn't reset anything, but you'll see your "you have ascended 0 times" crank up to "you have ascended 5e16 times" very quickly. Would've saved me about 5 days of ineffective grinding had I known.
developer response: you do not need to click the prestige button, but yes this is important (read the upgrade descriptions!)
very grindy also i wanna abuse the crap out of it
tubas tree 1 is my favorite game on galaxy so im excited for this
So hard to get the right setup at energies section!!! Utterly corrupt seems impossible to get...
For those stuck progressing skill tree. You need to rotate grinding quarks using the left side tree and challenges on the right side. Once u have the 225 quarks its a bit of a timewall in left tree to get final prestige upgrade
I feel like I'm stuck at 10 completions each of the first two reincarnation challenges and I can't get enough score to reach muon energy requirement. Any suggestions?
can you add a savebank?
developer response: that sounds hard, probably not. if you lost your save file, I can help you recover it
this didn't even need to go through oversight, tuba is a beloved developer!
@Billy-o, the only thing you need to do for that is reset the Upgrade Tree in the REINCARNATION tab with the "respec and reincarnate" button. Those are the upgrades it means for that achievement.
need Experience automation !!! (or if it exists somewhere later, it needs to come much earlier)
developer response: it comes later, the EXP grind is part of the game, sorry
reached endgame. i had fun!
now im not the person to like upgrade trees where you can go different ways and experiment with which one works better, because for me i could go one path and realize that another path is much much better... and totally didnt waste an hour or two for nothing.. but besides that and the the game's great!
@laowyn thanks for your answer, it's strange i have nothing there
