Just for anyone who is checking out the game, teabags are 1.5x the price set to be sold in the shop. If you have it set to 10 it's 15, roughly

Basic design is good, but the game needs to tell the player what things do and mean. Leveling seems to do nothing and I haven't been able to figure out what marketing does when clicked for the life of me. So, good game but needs some work/polishing to make it shine.

Cool graphics. While for the fullscreen-mode I would prefer the game getting more zoomed as close-up, than just the outside-parts designed in black colours?

The best starter upgrades are Diligence and Marketing. Diligence allow not only pickers but also you to collect more tea (that I didn't know).

Honestly, im getting pretty frustrated with finally saving up enough cash to get marketing 100k, but then thinking i can click the 5k tv, but not having enough cash, so it goes on cd for god knows how f-ing long....this is so frustrating more so than "Meditative"

the collecting is very unfair like if i collect everything after it is full grown i get 20 plants atm but if i collect them after they grew 1 time i get 15 so i can get 15/plant if i collect it instantly or 20/plant if i wait for it to grow do the math and you get 15*5 instantly collected or 20/plant waiting for it to fully grow just cause every plant has 5 growth phases 75-20 i get 55 more plants if i instantly collect thats not balanced.

Just a tip Buy the 100k Marketing as soon as possible then copy and paste this number (99999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999) into the Price and enjoy your maxed tea farm ;)

I am not a fan of "idle" games that stop working when you switch to another tab or minimize the browser. I also wish there was a way to buy more organized tea pickers. Everything is just random and a worker could be right in front of a fully grown plant but then it switches direction to get a sprout. This looks like a good first attempt. There is a lot to flesh out. I'd like to try it again when you have worked on it some more.

I unlocked marketing lvl 5 thing, how do I unlock city/trucks/stuff?
This game seriously needs some indications about these large unlocks, I think there are 1/5 and comments from people stuck before the marketing upgrade thing.

When you get the processing center, I have this urge to move the grinder to the left side above the frying trays and moved the oxidation field to the right, below the withering field.

The cooldown for the marketing schemes shouldn't start when you click it if you don't actually have the money to pay it out.

Interesting game, but everything after the first screen seems poorly balanced and pointless. If selling raw tea in my little shop is giving me more money than cities there's no point in moving down the line at all.

Tool tips for the newspaper, billboard, etc would be great. The envelope effect is the only one I could easily figure out.

There is a major bug. When you set the price in cultivation to 99999999999 it gets broken and sells the tea very quickly.
And the game really needs a 10x, 100x buy button. And there is too little information on everything. Like the ratios for the steps in the workshop. Or a detailed information about each marketing buff. The end game with the different stores is too much micromanagement.
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
Workshop is very unbalanced. My withering needs 500k to upgrade - and the upgrade has only little effect. My paccking would only need 500 (no k) to upgrade. But my packing is bored all the time - whiel the Withering is the bottle neck.
The gains of the workshop are 0 until you unlock the shop in the city. Before that point you would earn more if you keep selling at the field from storage.
And it's very strange that marketing in the city is completly different than marketing ast your field.

I always have surplus of tea, and i can never make enough teabags in a reasonable amount of time even though cities make good money

This game is odd. Investing money in anything produces little to no increase in revenue. Additionally, revenue increases linearly while cost increases geometrically, meaning at a certain point gains are not worth the cost. The first store is probably the most efficient selling method in the game until you get cities. Workshop is weird. The production method is very expensive and then you only sell bags at $1.5 each. Trucks are weird, breaks all the time costs $35k to fix it so you have to invest alot to save anything. Cities are efficient at selling but costs $20M to get them up and running and producing anything worthwhile. All in all this game is super slow and provides little to no gains until way later at which point it just breaks. Invest as much as you can in marketing even the 100K because after it just breaks and you can sell very fast. Use that until you can make Cities worthwhile. This game needs balancing @dev

It is a nice game, but I pretty much completed it in two hours. Once you got the 100k market uppgrade your income increase far too fast. Then in the end there will be nothing new to buy apart from uppgrading the same things over and over.

Interesting but I'm not sure what levelling does, what the marketting does, etc. Could do a better job of surfacing effects

4/5 The developer actually updates the game and it's not bad at all. Getting the 100k marketing upgrade is a game changer. The problem comes after that. All the processing feels like a money sink. I never really got that endorphin boost/payout for the rest of the game.

If I set the price 1, I earn $30 every 5 min; If I set the price 30, I earn $44.5 ($30 for 1 tea and $14.5 for wholesaling 29 tea). Since I am not checking the game every 10 sec (even if I do, I would not be able to buy any upgrade anyway), there is no reason to do anything with the price setting once I set it high enough.
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
Umm, I'm not sure if this is intentional, but the shop in the cultivation screen is pretty much the best thing to invest in and the entire rest of the game is a massive, pointless money sink. The minimum price at the shop is $1 per 1 leaf. If you sell wholesale from storage, you are getting about $0.50 per leaf. The processing center gives a 2/1 output on withering and a 10/1 output on packing, so each box contains 20 leaves and sells for $12, so thats $0.60 per leaf. At the garage, those same boxes sell for $15 per box which is $0.75 per leaf, and every shipment has an absurdly high chance of breaking the truck, with an astronomical repair cost, unless you spend a ludicrous amount upgrading its durability. I haven't unlocked the next stage yet, but the pattern I'm seeing in the math here is that everything other than the shop is an absolute waste of money and takes a huge investment to unlock something that actually has a lower profit margin

I like this game, and where it's going, but there's not enough information in game for me to understand what I'm doing.

seems the firing tray does not work with speed up i had no back up leaves until i used the speed up now i have 40000 leaves waiting to be fired up

Is there still something after city or is that the end? Also, I feel like the price increase for production upgrades is too much. At this time I don't see any reason to have more than 2 trucks (what is wearout anyway?)
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
Is there no way to automate loading the trucks?
Processing Cost/Speed/Production Quantity is outrageous vs Transportation/Sale.
Example; The cost to upgrade a SINGLE Truck to over 1000k Capacity vs Production to produce EVEN HALF THAT.
AND THEN,
The Cost/Speed City Sales causes Stock to deplete way faster than Production can even produce.
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
Make sure you change the drop down by the Load & Send buttons to the different shops you want to send the trucks to.
