According to my notes, theres some timewalls at 7e53, 6e84, 1e87, 5e105 and 4e311 lives. (might be inaccurate)

I've never had to wait that long, unless I have it running in the background. And I'm well past 5e105 now.

@Mazzi46 I'm stuck there too... is it really that long? 😕

How can anyone not love a game with the line "Once upon a time in a galaxy rather near here ..."? Still only on e64 lives so we shall see.

This game is like 5-10m timewall if you get enough stats, 3-8h timewall if you don't get enough stats

@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.

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

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

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
