Forest system

The forest branch turns offline time into wood. It is the backbone of idle progression and softens the sting of Void resets when you return to massive passive ticks.

When to invest

  • After your first comfortable active session (you are not starved for trees).
  • Before long breaks — let the game work while you are away.
  • Before Void: forest recovers wood quickly post-reset.

Passive vs active balance

Pure forest cannot beat a tuned active build for leaderboard pushes, but it funds the crafts and respecs that make those pushes possible. Aim for ~30–40% of mid-game skill points in forest if you play hybrid.
