Just got to level3. Little feedback : the last 5k exp needed to level up were pretty painful. When you come back to your game after many hours with nothing new to do, it's a bit disappointing (I restarted once, it helped but not enough). I'd rather finish the game rather quickly than quit it because some steps are too grindy :)

Warehouse just scales badly for the tools. Its ~1,4 upgrades i can buy with capped tools, so 1 upgrade at a time max, needs too much manual attention.
We removed the mouse over, now you can click on the trophy of your choice. Also after you select a business icon, to the bottom left of your screen there will be a text with big black letters telling you about the next achievement and the reward !! That way you wont have to mouse over the screen just click the business that interest you !

The game takes and stalls really hard and fast because of warehouses. You need to constantly be playing to increase your warehouse storage because of the material bottleneck and money income is just too low at that point to do anything meaningful. It's either go offline and accumulate enough cash to get a new advisor in a day or two, or log on every few hours to increase your storage a little because you can't use your capped resources for the upgrade facilities.

the initial x3 that was given for 2 days really needs to be permanent. Calculating the time, i am making 255 Quad per second. If i want to add 10 to my lowest priced market item currently, i need 20 Sextillion. That will take me 22 hours. 22 hours just to grab an extra 10 shares. If i want a hundred shares, it will take 13,661 hours. thats almost 2 years. Of course, you will get slightly more money as you buy more, but you dont get the big boost until you hit that next hundred mark. Some more thought really needs to go into changeing how much is made
There is not even 1 thing in game that takes 22 hours to get :P you have calculated something wrong. Check your menus or your business in main screen. there something that you can buy. Certainly there is !

Am I missing something or warehouse cannot be upgraded over 110 because max is 55k resources while you need over 56k materials to level up the warehouse once and I can't seem to find any way to increase the warehouse cap either.

I think the game is getting a little to grindy. Slowing down too much. I reiterate my original suggestion that you add a cumulative boost from all monies ever gained, or some equivalent same type source boost. This would add a bit of speed to the game, AND create incentive to do more soft restarts. You see it's taking so long to gain new office upgrades now that it's not really worth doing one at a time. This is because it takes so long to work up to a point of per run gains that is significant in the first place. Anyways please consider ways of closing that gap. Game is rather well made, and well thought through, but this is becoming an issue. Another possibility is adding a different type of office boost, or perhaps more tiers of the present office boost between existent tiers. Thanks.

Satyr: later you have opportunities to upgrade storehouse capacity via managers and atomic lab, so it also scales with the game(kinda).
also for those, who hadn't figured it out yet(like me for some time): your experience equals your current employees, and as such you get as much exp from a building as much people it employes.

In the older versions when checking the achievments you could see the info just hovering the mouse over each one. Now I need to click to see, I know is a small thing but when you're searching for the high profit multipliers to choose the next investment to pursue you need to check a lot of achievs to find the right one. So the hovering was very good.

Was asked for suggestions... But I don't have any. Yes, I can quickly think of some common improvements or try to explain we idlers like to be able to actively play and idle when WE choose, and not have our pace entirely determined by the game. I could try to explain how all the current incredibly straight forward and dull mechanics could be changed for the better. I could try to explain why SwarmSim succeeds, while this one fails.. But the fact i'd need to explain those things means the devs lack experience and/or common sense, and as such, my suggestions would fall on deaf ears. Sorry to sound so harsh.

Fantastic game overall guys but I can just see one major issue that needs to be addressed. The scaling of the warehouse seems to be significantly too low at the moment...I am on town 2, about to head to the 3rd one, and at the moment my food and electricity stock is maxed out and it has slowed the game WAY down. If you just lowered the amount of food it takes to get the second and maybe 3rd warehouse boost in the city facilities menu...that would probably be a big step in the right direction. Great game and keep up the great work guys!

theres something terribly wrong with warehouse capacity and its material cost , warehouse is way too expensive or way too small

The 3x bonus we had for the first 2 days was great and all but I'm beginning to wish you hadn't given us it now... Logging on today feels like my town has taken a huge step backwards in a game where progression is already incredibly slow. The pacing of the game with the 3x bonus was absolutely fine and I do not think required changing.

Even with the tutorial, the factory/warehouse thing is kinda confusing. I get it now, but it took me a little bit when playing. Perhaps add to the mouse-over highlight for Warehouse to also outline(in green?) the Material Cost and Material Stockpile in the upper left. Everything else is just $$, I think that one needs a little extra attention to show that its different.

Offline for 2 hours 58 minutes? OK, I'll just close and come back in a few minutes. No? That doesn't work at all? Fix this please.
Imagine if you had 3 hours break from your work, and your boss told you to return earlier. That wouldn't be nice... hehe
The timer stacks, so if you come back 2 minutes later it will be ok :)

What happens if I restart on a level 2 town when I'm already on a level 2 town? Does the x3 compound or will it be the same, just easier to get enough employees to get to level 3?
If you restart on the same level town, you will get paid your fee, the multiplier does not stack. Fee is the most important thing. With that you hire managers and your game progress is going a lot faster !

We cannot click on the bottom part of the Boutique / Cafe icon, where the price is. So there is a part of the interface where we look at (the price) and another part where we have to click... but the whole part is selected with a red border. Besides, when inactive black & white are greyed, they don't change at all.

Is it intentional, that if I move to a level 2 town I get access to atomic lab even though I hadn't bought any lab, not even in my previous town?

Warehouse cost is way to high, e.g:
current capacity: 665k
cost of 1 upgrade ~202k, extends capacity by 10k or 15k
I have 665k energy and appley which cant be used (cheapest upgrade 900k)
There is a Tutorial in some menus including Start Screen and Popularity. Click that Green "?" it says that you will loose your exp among other things and what you will keep :)

I have no idea what happened but I lost all my progress. I closed Chrome last night and when I opened it up today, all I got was the screen greeting me that I had no offline progress and now that I have to start everything from the beginning... Not cool.

The requisite for the material expansion says "mat." when it should actually say "Energy" or "Ene." Thanks for the clarification.

i'm having trouble understanding the current cost of upgrading the warehouse vs. what material i have stockpiled already. Is it possible to make the amount of material I have stockpiled more clear so I can see how close i am to being able to upgrade it? Even though I am still learning the finer details of the game I am very much enjoying the game so far.
The materials you have stockpiled, are shown at the top left of your screen, in the counter. Warehouse cost is on the Warehouse card, the last number to the bottom. It says a number and "Mat." next to it. But be careful on this, on the bottom right of your screen, there is a button, the "Buy Multiple". If you click it it goes 1/10/100. The costs are calculated according to the button. So keep it on the "1" to see the exact cost of 1 :)

If it could possibly have an export button of sorts, that'd be quite helpful with those of us who leave the computer from time to time

Same here cat9945. Just lost all my data, really sucks, was finally approaching the 70 quintillion I needed for my first big manager contract.

There is so much good in this game but the one extremely frustrating aspect is that you have to leave and restart your town to get the fee money -- all because you're completely capped. I understand that is an aspect of idling games but something about the town restarts make it seem extremely slow and tedious.

With so many of these, this one just falls in between. Haven't noticed a single thing to set it apart or to keep my interest.

at first I was thinking that the balance is off. After two days, I realize that there are just too many variables to even make that judgement. The warehouse stuff is a little bit annoying though.
Consider Warehouse as another variable for upgrades. If it could be upgraded for ever it would be unbalanced because you would get unlimited Material and Energy boosts :) We wanted to give an extra touch with that warehouse. Hope that you like it !

Been playing for two days. Good game. However, the warehouse system is really tedious and drags the game down. The scaling is just wrong. You will hit a point when upgrading the warehouse is basically useless and all you have to do is wait for a long, long time before being able to do anything. It just doesn't make a lot of sense to me.
