I wish the copper gathering was much faster. I do not like clicking on colored copper in order to be able to convert red, blue and green coppers into regular copper. Do anyone have an shortcut for me to use it?? I do like the game so far. Copper part is the looongest part so far.
What is the "REALLY Effective" achievement for? I got to the current (1.3) endgame and didn't get it
I was autoclicking wood when suddenly I reset for coal. The icon is not shown on the tree. What is coal, and why did this happen?
I have all Ethereal Sticks upgrades and 7 Monoium, except Imported. I am not gaining any Ethereal Sticks per second anymore. I am not able to get more research (for which I need 1e23 Ethereal sticks). I don't see any other upgrades I could make, except farm money for Fire Stage 4. Did I mess anything up?
developer response: Fixed
I dunno what the algo is for the colored copper, but it's been ten minutes and I haven't seen a single green one yet and now it's just funny.
developer response: 33.33% chance for each colored copper.

i forgot how annoying this game is, with all the constant layer locking and unlocking/ replaying is many many layers deep
developer response: Earlygame rebalance soon
Ctiks should not require the other two % upgrades to function. That doesn't make much sense. Just disable those when Ctiks is bought.
Honestly, tiers should remain unlocked once you get them. Even if you can't buy things in them after the reset, they should still be there for you to click on and look at. The reason I say this is because I reset to get a leaf, and then accidentally clicked out of the layer, so now I can't go back to spend the leaf I just gained because it relocked itself, so I have to wait until I get back to that layer to spend it now. That seems like a design flaw to me.
nice, short mod. keep it going.
one suggestion: a 'max convert wood' button, as converting wood took ages later on (1M+ wood).
(It took you 1h 0m 53.38s to beat the game)
developer response: thanks for the suggestion
Finished the game, it's really nice mod, although imo it lacks a lot of QoL-stuff like getting upgrades fixed earlier, bulk buy for stones, the whole coal mini area can be way less grindy than it is - felt like it was made that way to artificially make the game longer which is not good when it happens.
Still a good game to play, thank you very much. Hopefully it can grow deeper soon.
developer response: Thank you for the positive feedback :)
