@Lustre Having games run in the background is usually up to the mercy of the browser. If you look on the incremental games subreddit you should find tutorials about how to make tabs run in the background for most browsers.

For a more technical explanation, the mechanisms that browser games use to run code repeatedly are "rate limited" (ie ticking less often) when the tab is out of focus to try and save computer resources. Therefore, ticks happen less often, and number go up slower :(

Couldn't you factor in the time without ticks to make the numbers bigger?

Yes, and TMT already does that. I think the issue in this case may be autobuyers, but I am not certain.

Couldn't you make the autobuyers just run multiple times?

That would make the game even laggier, and I think it would be fairly difficult to implement. I'm not well-versed with the ToL code though, so I may be wrong.

im about 6 hours in, and out of the extreme built in saves, im as far as file 6. there are 64 saves.

yo its on galaxy now nice

to the two previous commenters: you can reset your token upgrades and get your tokens back without losing any progress. you don't have to experiment with anything, just cycle buying max of the upgrades for one resource at a time

This game's very impressive in terms of content and additional features, but some of its can be repetitive/uninteresting and some bits may be annoying. You can read my full review at https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/reviews.php?target_group=VideoGame&target_title=TheTreeOfLife

I LIKE IT!!!!!

Upgrades aren't working on my iphone 14 for some reason.

Just a joke comment:The 11x11x11 cube has 108 540 871 852 024 137 837 529 457 366 425 345 163 408 989 164 877 909 166 491 842 616 641 991 981 135 011 689 476 695 849 803 941 790 591 401 795 168 969 498 249 897 355 324 768 178 088 518 513 156 026 831 828 793 854 471 326 717 801 604 260 274 446 021 846 541 136 205 357 444 802 749 291 495 386 649 979 610 567 642 710 417 177 711 042 509 688 835 903 368 099 465 519 253 326 878 312 637 499 376 794 203 125 671 816 898 434 564 096 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 combinations.

How do I get spelling to work?

i have a normal save and extreme save, but somehow my normal save suddenly got overwritten by my extreme save??

it's quite slow but that's ok

Edit: You'll only stuck at those
Extreme, extreme ez hard: 15 Token II, 80 and 243 Chromosomes
Extreme ez: 80 and 243 Chromosomes
Extreme hard: all walls in extreme, 2 Carbon upgs(only if you chose C first), 15 Tokens, Cell minigames before stem cells
The others: e57, e302, and e369 Species
And @BELGUA, you should try getting "Exponential"->"Double-Exponential"->"Semi-Exponential"->"UltraViolet"->"Near-UltraViolet"->"Constant". This also applies to 2~13 Tokens.

this being on galaxy gives me a chance to start fresh and definitely not to test my patience

Chrome has a "Run in Backround" addon that works well.

Im stuck at token 1 help the life points stuck at e6615 and i can do nothing but wait until e7520

Very good game!!

I enjoy the game very much, but I really don't understand the minigame at all? Am I silly? I can't figure out what I am meant to do?

I'm sure this game gets really good at some point but it feels like a constant back and forth of experimenting with wayyyyyy too many configurations to make progress. Again, good and even fun for some people, less so for me.

i just did my first phosphorus reset and i kept my coin, H, C and O layers upgrades and started with 50 tokens. Is that supposed to happen?

me: reads the title
also me: "wait where's the life there's only hydrogen"
