I was having fun with this game and a patch didn't sit well with me. I whined on the patch post and not only has every issue I encountered been fixed in under 24 hours. There's been additional improvements as well. Seems dev cares. I like that sort of thing.

I'll be honest, I was so confused how to optimise the game aside from making sure nodes always had 100% space efficiency. Outside of that, I don't really think the game was intuitive on how to express any personal skill; it felt like I just buy upgrades and wait for number to go up to buy more upgrades, but with no clear understanding of why I shouldn't just put everything in a grid and auto-play it.

I play a lot of idlers, and there's a lot of X turns into Y turns into Z, which gets old pretty quickly. This one has quite a bit of strategy and modularity to how you build out your node system, which is very very very very very cool. Hope to see the dev keep working on this in the future!!

Fun so far! It feels like a good game to just leave running while you work or do things around the house. I'm very interested to see where they take it in the future. For the low price, I don't think you can go wrong.

It has potential, but at the current stage there is no reason to interact with the circuit. It appears that the optimal return is a minimal circuit. But then you need to get silicon and everything comes to a standstill, and as far as I can tell the only way is to... mess with the circuit. And I don't understand how to. So I'm sorta stuck. I know a lot of idle games are just click bigger number, but in this one I did nothing except that and I was getting to the septillions, then hit a wall.

As it sits now, the game is unplayable. When you get to the second prestige system and start maxxing out things, the integer limit gets hit and every node you hit takes away 2 billion points.
