I'm not sure, but i think this is a max setup when you have everything unlocked, help me improve it if i'm wrong.

Edit:

I moved like 2 things and it made it slightly better.

and how the hell do you get some of these achievements? (atomic, scorched earth, factory, completionist, atlantis)

Edit2:

After over 2 hours, I think this is it, I still don't know how to get some of these achievements, but I think this is the MAX setup...

@UntrainedMonkey

I hope this game has an update in the works

will this be updated again, this is a real good idea, if it had more elements and stuff, it would be even better. I hope this game gets updated

gg

how do i get water

Just started this game and immediately got Grindcraft nostalgia haha. It's not even that similar, but this system of working out resources and what to craft brings back memories. Really love the hexagon system too, great work!

any hint on how to get "scorched earth" achievement? i've tried like a lot of things, surrounding earth tile with fire, lava, volcano, villages surrounded by those, as many volcanos i can fit at once... just a whole lot of things

Can't wait to see more

Tutorial is kinda brief, you leave players to themselves in some of the game's aspects. For example, just one lil tutorial window about 4 top-right buttons. But "tech-tree" is very important part of your game (which isn't that much "idle", i'd say, because there is a complex system of bonuses to learn, which you also don't mention). How about after players place 2 earth tiles on the grid, tutorial window suggests to push the tech-tree button, where they can atleast get an idea what exactly they need to merge to progress. Because at first try i got 1 stone tile, and 0 production, so i thought that i'm "stuck". Maybe in next version you'll add to some tiles which are currently tech-only, some production aswell ? Oh, and why element "air" isn't in the game? Wind spread seeds... Also, shouldn't merging desert with water create an oasis? )

After discovering 2 of 4 tiles from a column left to 3 basic elements, i was sure that the rest 2 also would require merging of two tiles. That's actually the 2nd (not prime) reason why TWO fires are needed to be merged with a tile (which in reality could be easily burnt starting from just one match) is ultra-counterintuitive! So i could discover 3rd element from the leftest column only out of pure accident. Also, it makes thinking of 4th tile from that column much harder, because amount of possible combinations grows exponentially! Maybe it's quite easy and obvious for you, makers, but that tile and "scorched earth" are only two things that left unclear for me in your lovely game

publish it on steam, i would love to pay for it and invest A LOT of hours playing the game!

lmao i made a farm, beginner friendly too

I love that you have a browser version available! (Some of us don't use Windows.)

I managed to fumble my way through unlockables completion (but not achievement completion). It might be interesting to allow the player to increase the map size with research credits.

One frustrating part was how on the tech tree, when looking at <?> tiles; sometimes the requirement lines running from a source block to that <?> mystery block intercept through another block. Mistakingly thinking it's also a source block. (I spent ages trying to get desert desert and mountain mountain blocks to create what turned out to be mesa... realising it was meant to be fire, not desert.)

Oh, and the information of what resources effect which other resources is troublesome. Village has so many increases, that it cannot all fit in that one window. Also, Cliffs says it increases other Cliffs but that's not actually the case.

This is an addictive experience! I really enjoyed creating this tiny world and attempting to optimize as best I could. Spending prestige points to upgrade the output I get at the cost of starting the world over makes for a satisfying game loop.

If I had to give some feedback, I feel the cost of purchasing water and fire tiles is a bit too steep. I think maybe half the cost would be a bit more reasonable for both. (Just my personal take!)

Overall, this was a very satisfying game. I’m definitely going to play more of it and go for all those achievements! Great work on this!

i cant find anything beyond dirt rock soil and mountain
