Idle Moon Kingdom

this was really fun! its a really unique approach to the genre, though i wouldn't call it idle... it's quite involved (which isn't a bad thing). won in 1638 cycles :)

This has to be one of my favorite idle games that I've played on itch. The mechanics feel simple but offer a lot of variety in the later stages. Also can't wait for worldshaper idle to come out

I've been playing it for a while, and the truth is that it's very good. Solid stuff for an Idle Game.

However, there are some problems:

• The monument has 3 parts, each one unlocks more actions. This is cool and all, but... The last actions are unlocked when you 'beat' the game. A bit silly, isn't it? By definition you will never play with the last two actions.
• Fertility is not an interesting system. Most of the time you completely ignore it because you don't get to the required number, and when you do get there, you put everything in for a cycle and then remove it. I was also a bit disappointed not to get to the fourth unit (Being able to only get 8/12). Not to mention that you are not affected by any production bonus.
• There is no relic production bonus. You can idle to have infinite bonuses of everything but two, the last one (Which makes sense) and relics. It even stops you for having moonstone bonuses (Because you can't really produce 10 relics per cycle, without loss)
• Moonstone to be the last resource was a bit disappointing. Extremely easy to get with Reverance (And the mechanic of disabling a unit just for producing also seemed to me to go against the core idea of the game).

And now, some suggestions:

• I increased my production.... How many times? No idea. I have no way to see it. It would be cool if there was.
• In another comment I read that there was no reason why we couldn't see the total production instead of per unit. He is right.
• I think the game would be infinitely more interesting and entertaining if you could put two or more times the same action. Perhaps with limitations of: Not being able to use more than one unit in the same cycle, in that action, or unlocking the number of times an action can be repeated per cycle, etc. Obviously this would require rethinking the whole balance, but at least it would allow you to expand the game a lot.

Nice project, by the way. I hope you can expand it.

Some of the tooltips aren't working correctly.  I specifically tested Craft Nautical Relic boosted by Paganic Percussion.  The tooltip always said +1 relic but it was adding +2 every cycle.  

There are some others that behaved similarly but I don't remember them off the top of my head.

Speaking of tooltips. it would be great to see the total production instead of dividing it up by lane.  There's no mechanical advantage to making a given lane self-sufficient (and usually there's a disadvantage since you need to group certain tasks according to their required and bonuses.)

I had a ton of fun with this.  There was just enough freedom to feel more like strategy than puzzle.  That's the sweet spot for me.  Loved the progression from struggling with a resource, to making a self-sustaining setup, to reaching a level of technology that renders it trivial (and opens up new challenges).  

I was just barely able to make a setup that increases all storage and production bonuses simultaneously.  That felt like the true end of the game for me.

Thanks for making something fun!
