... Continuing on from my previous comment. With the current game balance I think the level 100 numbers should be 300 bee hives, 3500 beetle colonies, and 4000 ant nests. That would take a week or two to beat. Alternatively it might be good to make the huge numbers achievable if you use experience upgrades. The current win conditions seem to be linear, but the numbers achievable by the player plateau at a certain point and the experience upgrades give small plateauing bonuses too, so do not help overcoming the wall at all.

thanks for the detailed analysis, probably reduce resource needed is the best way.

... Continuing on from my previous comment. The bee hives seemed broken, I stalled at around 0.4% of the 110k goal. Unlike Ants and Beetles where the nest building resources, come from third order generators. The bee hives are desperately short on honey since the honey generators accumulate slower than generators for other materials used in the nests/colonies. I went back to 50 level and couldn't reach the hive win numbers for that level either. Skipping the clock forward and upgrading each time I managed to get around 8000 ant nests, 7000 beetle nests, and around 600 bee hives before I got tired of skipping the clock forward. That wasn't close to beating the nest/hive/colony requirements of 100k of each for winning level 100.

Thanks for creating this fun game. It was a fun idle game, although the game can needs a bit of balancing for the win conditions. The win conditions for reaching a certain number of beetle colonies, ant nests, and bee hives on a level 100 world are not achievable. The bee hive win requirements are ridiculous even in worlds below level 50. The growth of my nests/colony stalled started to really stall around 6% and I think anything above 8,000 for the bee and beetles isn't realistic. The growth rate for the number of nests/colonies tapers off sharply and there's no upgrading that can overcome the increasing costs. Beetles is harder than bees slightly because of lack of fungus. You end up stalled in beetles by a number around 10% less than ants by the slow growth of hydroponics through engineers.

Couldn't get it working using firefox or chrome. Also tried all the solutions in the steam discussion thread. Firefox said something about Context3D. Chrome stayed stuck on the language screen.
