The game is slow and can be boring. I thought maybe buying the no ads option that actually eliminated the ads for rewards as well would help, save your money. it has a stupid cool down timer that is like 4 mins before you can use it again and you can't watch an ad to try and speed things up because you bought the no ad option, which made the game even slower. it's another clicker game that charges way too much to screw your experience in some way.

Playing with Play pass (no ads). Decently entertaining but kinda glitchy. Sometimes the button to claim stars from a mission won't work. The missions at the top of the screen get stuck upon completion. Recently moved my plank factory and it's completed disappeared. can't find it, which means I can't collect the resources. The house merging mini game is ok, a fun side thing but monotonous and boring after a bit.

such a good game. but pretty buggy. in expedition, or in general, to pan the camera a joystick would be nice, zoom and swipe can remain as it is, it's also fiddly to tap specific blocks because it's off-center - also my workers completely stopped worked atm, so i just closed the game on that bug, hoping when I check in everything is normal again.
