Understanding Upgrade Trees

The public Trello describes Upgrade Trees as essential for speeding up progression.

Current named trees include Starter, Tycoon, Coin, Hacker, Mine, Snow, Prism, UI Prism, Meat/Bone, and Sand progression.

Choose tree upgrades by the bottleneck they solve instead of buying every branch evenly.

Record the exact cost, prerequisite, affected stat, and reset behavior before publishing a numerical route.

Verification checklist

Evidence needed for exact values
