Oh, and ofc only 30 minutes of boost time.. Another great idea.. 1/5 * from me, because you made this game slow AF without any good reason for that.
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
I'm still don't understand, WHY WE LOSE BOOST TIME AFTER PRESTIGE?!? Srsly, the game is SLOW, and this "feature" making it even slower. I need boost AFTER prestige to pass that slow begging, and to get that, i log in, make prestige, log out and wait another day..

it feels like no difference for my log income if my smokemachine is level 1 or level 31. is the cloud really doing something? and what exactly is the clock doing?

I.. was going to praise you for adding the well and water pump, thus making the forest not finite, please don't make that finite as well, for an idle/ farming game, not knowing that i shouldn't ever sell a resource becuase i need it and it's finite and gives more money, unless i try to read comments, isn't a fun mechanic, sorry.

Also Side Note I have one block into level 13 now and that took more then 12 hours to get non stop on the windmill. This is a huge bottleneck
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
Im going towards level 13 now just got the observatory. I have a bug where I am buying the 5 times gold in the boost shop and get the 5 times wood instead
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
on lvl 7 you stuck, i have 240 golden bricks now, but i cannot build the elevator higher, even with playing and holding down mouse button, i just am out of wood, the clouds won´t do it, the watering won´t do it, that´s a senseless bottleneck when i already have much more golden bricks. So far, pls work on on the game ^^ greets

@Hoamal: The Waterpump is not Broken. You Well is just empty. Lateron you unlock an deeper Waterreservoir that boosts you Wood (And Money!) alot. But even this seems to end.

I feel like I am doing something wrong it takes HOURS to get bricks up even when I am holding down the windmill. Am I missing an upgrade or something. Can you upgrade the windmill?
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
why not add some weather in the game : Sun to do fast work and grow plants, trees. Rain to make trees and plants grow even more.

Guy Clicking the windmill rather then the scaffolding is way better for lifting Brick's, I would say almost 3x faster. "dev you need to make this the same for scaffolding once windmill is unlocked"
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
I agree with most other people on here. As you complete layers, the requirements get ridiculous. 10 bricks to 120 bricks?? Are you serious??
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
When to sleep last night starting on floor 8. When i woke up, the FIRST stone still havent made it past floor 3! the time needed to place a single block is about 25 sec. when i'm holding down on the windmill. I need a total of 48 block to build the floor. that translates to 19 minutes of real world time doing nothing but holding down a button. I'm about to stop playing this as i cant see me ever making it to floor 11. Too bad since this game lookse promising, but the stone lift speed is just too slow to make this enjoyable.
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
Update makes it a lot slower for new players, even with the 5x stone I am hitting a wall hard before floor 11.
Maybe change 24h bonus to once a day and make it give small permanent upgrade, small but meaningful so you always progress.
The pacing is broken and the update made it worse.
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
Leaves the game for an hour to watch TV, I come back and the brick is still on the same floor. And I have to transport them 35 more times. This brick transporting speed is really a bummer in an otherwise good game. No matter how much drumming you upgrade, its just always a slog. I wish this was prioritized in the upgrades first.

Is there an auto window clicker added at some point? Just having to scroll through the foors to see if one is open is going to get REALLY annoying otherwise in the later game.
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
howdy, a small thanks here to the dev i think you deserved it for working further on the game, nice thing to seperate the artifacts from golden bricks!
I think there is still much to do and i think much people already give good suggestions, so here a small thank you for keeping up the work! Usually i don´t play such games but somehow i still enjoy this simple game, hoping for further upgrades!

A zoom out option would be very nice, maybe starting at floor 5 or 6. --- Playing in Firefox, the new arrow key movement doesn't work too well because the entire Kongregate page moves around with the game. WASD movement could help with that? --- The underground water extractor (floor 8?) should unlock a floor earlier, maybe switching places with the clock unlock. --- I think the new science requirement for artifacts will make the game a lot slower for new players, and being too slow was already a common complaint. I considered the Golden Pickaxe vital for making progress, which I unlocked around floor 5 or 6, but now a player needs to reach floor 11 to get science to unlock it? In that case, I think there should be some kind of mid-game boost to make up for it, maybe reducing the brick requirements for floors 5-11, or reducing the golden brick penalty on resets.

Thank you for playing Babel Tower and giving excellent suggestions! Here’s what we prepared for you in 1.0.8:
Science concept. After floor 11 you’ll be able to get Galileo, Laboratory and Telescope. They generate Science and use it for permanent boosts
After restart now you can keep 20% of offline time bonus (instead of 10%), and this percentage can be increased even more with Science
Use keyboard arrows to navigate the screen.
Use Space to toggle time speeding

I have enjoyed this game but it does need some changes. First among them, having a save/load function! Plus a way to speed up the wheelbarrow guy who takes resources to the tower, at least on levels you've already completed once. Maybe the number of times you've completed a level would determine the bonus speed for building that level? There are some balancing issues too, in particular the cost of bricks at higher levels. I mean I understand each level being more expensive than the last but the increase get silly. Even with loads of gold bricks giving you boosts and all the processes upgraded and upgraded as much as possible, it can take ages to gather the stone bricks necessary for one brick on the tower by level 6.
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
Oh I have the obvious fix to make the game a lot faster and then possibly not even need more balance right now: let us click the brick or plank pile to place them directly. If I have enough bricks to fill a wall let me just click it in real quick. We can't do this past a floor we haven't build by labor. That would speed things up a lot
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
money bags are nice early on, when something like 2k gold actually matter. as soon as you get to 3 or more floors tho, they become completely useless :(
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
ok I just bought the golden pickaxe, and yet my miners did not get a x5 bost to mining stone. Just a waste of golden bricks
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
Hold on, I gain LESS golden bricks the more I own? I don't want to wait / hold down the mouse key for another 30 years so I can spend some....
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
If youre going to make gold brick gains based on total amount instead of current amount, then just make the boosts permanent instead of reducing once you spend your gold bricks.
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
I bought my first gold upgrade and lost all my passive click progression?? I never would have bought an artifact if I knew that.

I like this game but it seems to make my browser crawl unlike similar idle games. Making a lower performance mode would be nice if nothing else.
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
Finishing the 6th floor got me 25 bricks, reaching it the second time is only going to give me 10 bricks and the next tier is unreachable without actively playing for a full day, only netting me 36 more bricks.
Does your brick gain revert to normal after buying an artifact, or will you just perma cripple yourself?
Probably better off quitting until a patch comes out.
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
I don´t like idle games, this has really an interesting concept, but just played now 2 hours and already seeing on my 2nd tower, the thing with golden bricks, and all numbers at all, needs rebalancing
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
When you buy artifacts, you lose all bonus you have from Golden Bricks.... With 101 golden bricks i had x11 production. I bought the first artifact, lost all bonuses and now stone mining is only 5x....
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
A handy little tip for people, though it lowers per reset, if you don't just let the game idle, but turn it off entirely for a few hours, you'll get bonus time, which is at an extremely fast speed, which helps tremendously in getting over hurdles.
At some point you get a clock that speeds up things a bunch, that helps. But the hurdle after that is a big one, really heavy on the wood and stone, the wood will just take time. The stone a lot of work with your stone carrying elephant.
Once you reach it though, you'll get the underground water plant, and this will boost your wood production to a reasonable, suddenly very usable level. You can prolly reach it when you've got around 100 points or close to it.

Suggestions: Crane should be like 50x faster than what is it now, and double/triple gold bricks. Then game would be enjoyable, now its just too overally slow even with autoclicker

The CPU Costs of this game are ridiculous, maybe you should try to add some options to reduce them like no animations? Maybe there are also other reasons.

Im on the 6th flor, left the game runing throu the night to mabe gain another flor, but dude, it didnt even buil a qarter of that flor thats how badly it slows down, you need to fix that man cause right now this slow down is gona realy make people quit the game, I get that the progres has to slow down a bit, but to slow down so mutch it wont even build a half a floor throu the night, thats to mutch.

The stone transporter gets insanely expensive compared to the bricks producer, so it's hard to maintain a stable supply of stones for the producer.
