the fact that basically time and space both (and mana?) are ressources that get introduced after having bought a new tree but there actually then is no option to buy to automine it makes this really hard.
like, you literally had to reset many times to grind together those 1000 time for example.
after having bought the next tree, we finally get some indirect automine option for time.
so you always first have to fgrind together 100 by hand and with your blood before you in fact get the next currency and the current one might or might not get a mine upgrade to get.
No way in hell did people all those cycles of repeated rebuild to grind together 1k of a ressource and then doing the same for the next ressource, with stuff obviously taking longer the more trrees need rebuilt.
and all that in 1, 2 or 3 hours.
NO WAY IN HELL! -.-
