The Beekeeping Quest does nothing
All automation
is there a pattern too follow on the minigame or is it just a timewall
developer response: There's a bit of strategy that you can use but otherwise it can be just a timewall
For the strategy, getting rows is what you want to try and do to maximise it
But please add automation disabled/enabled
developer response: Which automation?
How to turn off automation

plant game is finally hereeeeee
Beat the game! (now I'm qualified to leave a review as of v5.1) >> Amazing game, truly a good TMT mod in my eyes. I love how you go back to previous layers you thought were completed a lot, and the progression seems really nice (outside of some research timewalls, the challenge timewalls are not too bad; mostly <1hr timewalls in general). I can see you put a lot of work into balancing this and it pays out well! Hopefully this keeps getting semi-regular updates, I'll be stopping by to keep grinding on every one. 9/10 game!
developer response: I will try to keep updating it but as the content I've been trying to add is getting more complex updates will slow down (new rows will be especially slow), I have also tried to keep making unique content for every layer and I will keep expanding upon all (or at least most) of them, thank you :D
(by the way, the next update is in 5 hours)
i am now at tree layer, quite good so far.
the only concern is scrolling, it is annoying and i do not see much possibility to fix it.
would be so much better if all upgrades could fit on screen, but even with fullscreen most tabs have scrolling.
developer response: I also do not see much possibility to reduce scrolling with this amount of content either lol
Also, I've taken this into account and I've added a QoL to the next game so there's more prestige buttons for layers to reduce scrolling
Overall a very well-constructed TMT game, solid theming that the developer finds new ways to play into, with each mechanic feeling balanced and interesting, and progression that's tightly balanced to keep the ball rolling even on new layer resets. While I see why people enjoy other types of games, this is definitely the platonic ideal of a tree-like to me. It also helps the dev is pretty fast with the updates which is no mean feat as the layers add up.
Finally reached Tipi-- effectively beating v8.0. The game's really nice, the progression feels good enough in my eyes post-Ecosystems! However, I feel like certain timewalls aren't able to be broken by Ecosystems, which is what I presume the point of the 1st Eco buyable is to do. Besides that, "Americas Inspired Zone" still says "Coming soon..." even though it still leads to Reclaimed Ecosystems when it's purchased. I presume that the description is just outdated ._.
developer response: 1: yes that description is outdated
2: I have started making The Plant Tree: Rewritten due to bad framework and many more possible bugs to come up in the original (this version) and the gameplay in the early-game isn't as good as the original in my opinion but I hope that the game works better and I'm able to make updates faster and have the game generally be better quality and also having stuff for more varied audiences. (for example the achievements in tptr are geared towards an AD news ticker audience) anyway, here's the link lol: https://thenonymous.github.io/The-Plant-Tree-Rewritten/
Correction from coming back here later: no I am not finished developing this game lol and I have abandoned the rewritten version because I prefer the original
