This is one of the cooler concepts for a building-in-phases style of incremental game that I've seen, because of the simple idea of letting you work on multiple "projects" simultaneously, in a way that is much more intuitive than I've seen other games of its genre do it. Often when you've got one stage up and going, another stage is ready for some attention, and it's not a chaotic juggling act either. I'm not prepared to write a full review yet (I have yet to even actually prestige), but the core idea here is lovely.

Thanks :3c

Re-asking my deleted post as I thought I'd solved my own question. Does anyone have a guide on how to best spend ice on Pool? I have 7 ice after getting the first water fragment milestone and my progress is slow in my water gain...although not a complete stop. It doesn't seem right that I'm spending as long as I am just to get my 8th Ice...let alone the 11 I'll need for the next milestone

I recommend trying to turn off water conversion as it increases the tank size infinitely up due to Flying Hydrogen. I think someone on discord, probably kelci, made a guide or smth for it.

I switched to trying to do Vulcan instead of Pool to get a flame fragment and sadly I've realised after the first purchase of Magmatic Rise that I'm not enjoying the game.....I'm wanting to in that I like the layout and basic premise of "building" a solar system incrementally. I like the Anti-matter prestige purchases...in fact there's a lot I like about the game. I'm not enjoying how regularly I'm loosing all my progress for relatively little reward and whilst I appreciate that later upgrades will steadily speed things up and/or automate parts of the game....its just taking too long to get there for me.

People have been telling me that maybe milestones should not reset, which may happen. I might rework it so that the game is less reset heavy then.

it's a game I so want to like and keep playing and see more of, but when I lost all of the progress on Vulcan after clicking on Magmatic Rise I just felt my will to go on just evaporate. It's odd as I played Fundamental for ages which your game is inspired by (I think?)...although not played that one much following the last update

On the discord server, if you enter the Testing Channels, you can play a version of the game I am currently testing with all the resets scaled down by 1. So things that previously reset basic stuff, do not reset at all. Things that reset the whole planet, just reset the basic stuff (Milestones are the most important here). Antireality stays the same though, resetting everything.
I am keen on making changes like these because this is just the beginning of what I want to add, there are a lot of other things I am planning so I'd rather have the beginning be a lot faster and more enjoyable than keeping and building off of it.
Personally, I think in Fundamental, you have a lot less work to do, and automation is a lot faster to get than in here. Planetidal is more of an active game by design. Right now in Planetidal, the upgrade automations come only after getting Antimatter, which is the end-game at the current moment.
