When Civilians Dig Holes

Buy 10x and similar options should update costs on the menu to the commensurate value instead of staying at the 1x cost(and 10x shouldn’t let you buy less than 10x imo)

Umm, is there any chance of a save system?

Please make it downloadable :<

is the bracelet bonus locked at the bonus that you bought it at or does the bonus increase as your money production increases?

This is really fun! 

If you wanted to look into a way of saving that could be easier for you, there's a cool site for Idle games called galaxy.click where is cloud based, maybe you could look at hosting there too

There is still no save import/export function, and I have now lost my save file a second time.

Nice game! The first play and then next two prestiges felt good. The unique item that times research points by $100k/s busts the game to where I can clear a map in 15 seconds. (That's the only time I experienced lag btw because it was showing every artifact pop-up at once. Never had lag on normal gameplay.) The upgrades that reset costs happen a bit too frequently. Or rather, it would be nice if they reduced the cost like log10() so you could buy multiple of them at once. The crafting and zoning never became relevant to the main progression. The ore was only relevant on one run.

hey guys if you dig really far and the whole screen goes white that just means you got to the end of the game !

If the squares are going white earlier on in the game or after the ore disappears then this is a bug and I’m tryna figure out what’s going on so I can push a  fix !

a lot of fun. breaks around 1.5 trillion feet on every hole. The ore and crafting is cool in early game, but doesn't do much after the  numbers get big. Once you hit 1 million research points, it all moves so quick that you're through the ore before you have time to collect anything. 

I hit around 99 million research points and there just wasnt anything left to discover or do, and new holes take like 5 minutes. That said, it was a blast all the way through

Zero lag for me all the way through to the '"end".  The denosovian permanent upgrade completely breaks the game, as others have said.  Another note is that the research point passive bonus is mis-stated on the prestige warning screen, by a factor of 100 or 50 I'm pretty sure. It made me delay my first prestige for far too long, because my 4.5% increase was actually 4.5x I think.

One thing I didn't like was the cost reset upgrades.  They feel really, really min-maxy, which is cool the first few times but rapidly becomes tedious.  Maybe it's fine, if you put a button on the animals themselves to buy the reset if it's available so that I'm not hunting and tab switching a ton, but... I dunno.  I'd have rather seen more synergies.

Still a perfectly acceptable way to spend a couple hours!

There is still a small amount of late game/ end game lag from the text boxes on artifacts, but it quickly disappears because the entire site becomes undiggable maybe 30-45 seconds after artifacts start popping up left and right.

3d model didn't work for me. I also never unlocked crafting that I saw in someone's screenshot. I waited to buy a one shot upgrade that that scaled research points based on every $100,000 and then bought it when I had a really high income amount. My research jumped from 75% to  X BILLION%. After that every hole finishes in about 10 seconds until I hit the white wall and I think it makes me miss some content. Really enjoyed the game though. I'm a big fan of "Make number go bigger" games and this one was really good despite some bugs.

Very cool game, though the tiles will sometimes go completely white, preventing any digging (as I assume they have reached NaN and are interpreted by the game as having infinite depth).
This can happen at any tile at seemingly any point of the game, likely due to tiles updating very quickly. 
Also tiles will sometimes just... undig themselves over time? Had a tile at ~180 for a few minutes, then I dug it again and it went to like 147. Very strange.
[SPOILERS BEYOND THIS POINT]



Also the scaling gets really wack. ESPECIALLY via the gardens. Can go from like 10k ft tiles to millions extremely quickly via the worm and gopher efficiency boost. Pairs very well with the Denisovan Bracelet permanent upgrade which got me like +10,000,000,000% research for every artifact. You probably want to give reachable hard caps to the one of a kind items so that people who buy them early aren't literally a billion times slower at getting research than I was. Also maybe make the other place a bit more useful, right now the only use is for discovering the bracelet (it's so forgettable I can't even remember its name).
8/10 game, my comment is only mainly issues so that they are brought to light.

I'm getting these white patches that have no yield and go down as far as you can see over there in the 3d view. They started showing up when I started finding artifacts, maybe tied to them somehow?? I'm going to play through to the next dig site to see if they are still there. Love the game!

How do I unlock the second staff member? Am I missing something? (Turns out I needed 3 worms, which doesn't say is the requirement!)

spoiler or bug idk just dont look if you haven't made it super far

I love the game so much it reminded me Realm Grinder with its strategic planning on upgrades and "specialization" to achieve different goals etc. Very creative, good Dwarf Fortress touch also.

If you're not familiar - your game was submitted on Incremental DB and it got big positive feedback there, so good job. Would love to have your game on Steam.

P.S. But lags in later stages of the game are disastrous... 

The game is stuck in the unity loading screen.
No errors are logged to the console.

bug! the first research permit costs 200, but the text box says  "now that you've reached 300 research points"

Related to this, the value of research points is way too low for what's required for the first prestige. at 0.1% you need 1000 to make a 10% difference which really isn't that much.

The text size and contrast could be better. kinda difficult to read certain texts.

The rate at which you gain research points is so slow I lost interest in the game.
