going off dwakelings idea of buying more building at a time, i think the foremen should make it so you can build more at a time also?

I think when you (the player) are spending your action to perform resource gathering, it should boost all workers assigned to that resource, in addition to your base gathering rate. In other words, there should be a multiplicative increase, in addition to the additive increase, when you mine or farm or chop lumber.

Really like the concept and game play etc. The only thing I didn't like is the lack of challenge. I can walk away for hours and will never come back to find I have failed in some way. That's not a bad thing so to speak and possibly was the point of the game to begin with. I didn't have a any problem with the real estate required although I am running a 1080p monitor. I also did not experience any issues related to firefox (perhaps already fixed). I noticed that there is currently no end game, and that some have reached upwards of world 25. At world three I started feeling like food was just storing with no use, but this eventually changed and returned to not having enough. I don't think the game itself needs to be "balanced" per say as that is part of the game to begin with. Up to the player to balance his workers etc to get things running the way they need them to. Overall a great game. I do feel there is something missing but I apologize as I can't quite decide what that would be.

Im on level 29. My options to add Trimps to Jobs are: 1 or 3000. I cant afford 3000 to anything so now I need to click thousands of times to add. You should add a toggle to the 1 button to increment it up to 25,50,100, etc.

Until this afternoon the graphic was ok - but now *BIG GREAT SUPER-VOMIT*!!!!! So super-ugly bad and unreadable horrible bad! Absolute maximum 1 star worth now!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It would be great if you gave us visibility as to what the next upgrades are, and what milestones need to be reached in order to unlock them. That sort of gives us something to shoot for. Right now it feels somewhat aimless, and the upgrades sort of randomly show up no their own, "whenever".

Really really cool game for this genre!!! There are a few things that could be worked on, but I really like the fact that there is a storyline and the whole battle map thing.
A few things I would suggest:
I'm not sure if it's already implemented, but offline production
Graphics/animations would really kick this game up a notch. I don't know if you checked, but in the top played games there was Swarm Simulator, but it got kicked out because, in my opinion, it was just writing and statistics.
Anyways, great game, I'll be continuing to play for a long time I think, looking forward to the updates!

i had exported my game so i tried reseting the game and after a refresh it worked (but the gamefile was deleted of course). after that i just imported it again and it works fine for now. it seems that when closing the game the save gets corrupted or something :/

@wolf2800 i have this problem too. everything worked fine and so on but then i closed firefox and next time i reopened the game the GUI was scaled really weird. gonna try to delete cookies and so on and if it works i will let you know

unable to play game, tried different browsers and clearing cache. just getting the huge button / out of place prob everyone else is talking about :/

Excellent game. Very well done. Fresh, new perspective on a genre.
I think you have an out by one error on the combat stuff, though, because I will quite often see my current batch of Trimps are no longer taking part in combat but their health is not showing as empty.

+1 to the idea of creating a button to buy traps 10 and 100 at a time. Also, when multiple consecutive traps are queued up, you could just display the trap block *once* with a counter, instead of one trap block for each trap. e.g. [Trap x57] instead of [Trap][Trap][Trap]... 57 times.

Came back to play this game and found that the text and everything was glitched beyond belief. I liked this game but now it's unplayable, and it doesn't seem like anyone else is getting this glitch.

I like this this is pretty cool just please add what "dwakeling" said and ill be set myself. nice job for a game that you just posted 2 days ago "brownprobe"

How about a slider control to allow us to increase the percentage of population that can have jobs? I like reproducing as much as the next guy, but a 50% mandatory unemployment rate seems a bit high...

Tons of comments, not going to read through them all. If this is a repost, sorry. Bug Report: When you're fighting and you defeat an enemy, regardless of your health level, you start the next battle with a blue bar. As soon as you damage your opponent or take damage, it returns to the proper color. :) Super great game. 5-Stars. Fantastic Idler. Kept me entertained all day. Needs badges or achievements.

you should probably put required number of max trimps for co-ordination upgrade. or whatever it is that's preventing the upgrade.

hum, from the world 10, it look like your workers are useless, the loots give everything you need....what about exponential increasing of the worker's efficiency ?

Hey brownprobe. There is still some issues for me (using firefox) if i leave the game open a while, the framerate drops gradually till it's littarly zero, over time.
It's looking good though :)

At 270 Hotel, I'm gaining only 21.6K Trimps, it should have been upgraded 15 times (at a x3.5 ratio), making so they give the equivalent of 1.5T. At 270 Resorts, I'm gaining only 270K Trimps, it should have been upgraded 12 times (at a x4 ratio), making so they give the equivalent of 2.2T. That adds up to about 6.4T Trimps. Of course some numbers need to be tweaked, but there you go.
Army:
Numbers need to be HEAVILY nerfed, as of right now, even with only 131K Trimps, I am steamrolling everything.
Anyway, good luck with your game.

This game needs major rebalancing, the block amount is useless, in the late game, the workers do nothing and i think gems should be in the main worlds.

Housing:
As of now, housing is really hard, the reason for this is that it's just too expensive, even with every single housing as maxed out as I could, I'm still only at 385K Trimps, and I have 14 more Coordination upgrade to go, that means that I would need 4.3T Trimps, kinda far away eh? What has to be fixed is more upgrades for Huts and House, they should really not be giving 3 and 5 after a certain point. At 300 huts, I'm gaining only 900 Trimps, so by now (map 33) it should have been upgraded 30 times (at a x2 ratio), making so they give the equivalent of 875B. At 300 houses, I'm gaining only 1500 Trimps, so by now (map 33) it should have been upgraded 22 times (at a x2.5 ratio), making so they give the equivalent of 832B. At 270 Mansions, I'm gaining only 2.7K Trimps, so by now (map 33) it should have been upgraded 18 times (at a x3 ratio), making so they give the equivalent of 1T.

When progressing from world 9 on to higher ones, and not later than world 11, there seems to be an inbalance for wood. Way too less of it. And one cannot farm it properly in the map chamber. :D

Also, before I leave, I would like to suggest to you a few balances:
Resources:
As of now, it's quite well balanced in the begging, but after you get to world 10+, it rapidly falls out of balance, the reason for this is 2, resource gained from the world map is huge and resourced gained by workers is minimum. At World 32, each resource node gives about 2 Oc, while the resources I can gain by gathering is merely 22.6 T/s. The reason for this is that I have over 150k idle workers, because it's impossible to put them to work, putting even 1 worker into anything costs more than what I have, and that's just at 11k workers, don't even want to imagine at 50k+.
Solutions for this is making resource gaining from Nodes to scale down once you hit higher maps. Make it so putting in workers does not scale in a multiplicative way, it really shouldn't cost tens of folds more than what they generate.

Some sorting would be great. Like : "Equipments : All/Weapons/Armors/Best/Other(If any)" and "Structures : All/Food/Wood/Metal/Trips/You/Other(If any)". Great work, otherwise. Wait for some news update !

I think the jobs require some balancing. I'm in the septillion-octillion range currently in terms of resources and battle stats and workers are producing a couple trillion of each resource a second. I have 6000 workers on each "main" resource and doubling that number costs decillions. It's much faster to get resources by battling.

Auto-save must not work, it was getting slow so I refreshed the page and all my progress was gone :/ I should've hit "save" for good measure.
(Yes, I tried clicking "Load")

Idle games have been the bane of my existence lately and this one is no help either. In other words, I'm loving it. One of the best I've played in a while.
Only problem is that with the current balance for workers, I no longer really need them except for Science. Around World 10 I realized the workers gathered negligible amounts of resources relative to what I'd be rewarded fighting.
This means that my Trimp community is made up of ~20 scientists supporting a massive orgy of breeders of which half occasionally get sent to war to gather riches only for the remaining breeders to furiously repopulate again before they all die.
Then I occasionally build hotels to increase parameters of the circle of life explained above. It's quite similar to real life I suppose.
If this game was meant to be a social commentary, then bravo! I will continue to play. If you had a more balanced idea in mind, maybe put more worker efficiency bonus upgrades in.
Either way, great game.
