I just started, but am I missing something about the road? It's useless as you can just build a storage building instead of a road. I mean, you could build 5 roads and to connect to 1 storage, or just build 6 storages.
Why does lightning keep zapping away all my resources? I'm stuck because it zaps away more than I'm getting.. I by the way didn't buy the evolution that risks going bankrupt.
I must be doing something wrong, haha, been playing from the start and only got 5K ascension levels. although it must be noted I only play idle except for making 3 copper mails after a reset. My way of playing so far has been to sell on expensive, and enchant and make mails on the closest timing that doesn't leave me with anything in my inventory, or have a little over production (overnight) that I then work away using a lower enchant and/or selling level. I move up to the next ore/mail once I reach about 1 sec selling speed on expensive.
I like this game, the production chain is a nice motivator to spend some time clicking to work away a stockpile. One thing though, but I'm a little nitpicking here, is that I'd like to be able to delete stuff in my inventories. I'm one of those weird people that gets annoyed being stuck with unusable amounts of resources, so I do apologize :)
The ball appears to bounce back way too straight, making this pretty unplayable in the sense of trying to calculate/curve a ball into the direction you want it to go.
