The basic loop
Step
When you first load in, nothing happens automatically — you kick things off yourself. Water your tree to make it grow, then chop it to collect money. Take that money straight to the shop and buy your first machines so the work starts happening without you.
- Water the tree the tree has to grow before you can chop it, so watering always comes first.
- Chop the tree once it is grown, chopping it is how you actually earn money.
- Buy machines spend what you earned on machines so the loop runs on its own.

Prestige and the void
Summary
Prestige becomes available once you have progressed far enough. The game has at least nine prestige levels to work through. The void unlocks at an even later stage. Neither feature requires spending real money.
- Prestige a major upgrade that becomes available in the mid-game
- Nine prestige levels each one is a separate unlock you work toward in order
- The void unlocks after prestige and adds another layer of progression on top
- Cost in-game money only, no real-money purchase needed
What to check when you feel stuck
CheckIdle games can look frozen when the real problem is something simple. Go through these checks before assuming there is nothing you can do.
- Are your watering cans full or empty? An empty can means the tree stops growing.
- Are all your machines actually running?
- Is there a new machine in the shop you have not bought yet?
