While I agree with a lot of the comments about how auto sorting and the active/non-active cells interacting could work a lot better together, I feel that the game is actually very playable as an idler if you focus on the right side of the talents. The increased chance and color tier allow your 1 active paint to jump up multiple at a time. I went full idle after my first reset, bought into that tree and have stayed completely idle, getting ready to do a third reset at 300 now and get tick color which should make it go faster. More improvements of the new version sound great, but I wanted to highlight what I thought was good for idling out of this version.
