First few hours can (and will) be slow. Like, painfully slow. To make it a little bit faster for yourself you will have to click. As we all probably know by now, there is plenty of click-simulating software (like GSAutoClicker, the simpliest one that comes to my mind), which is heavily adviced to use, since the first few tools you will need will speed you up enough to turn this game into idler, and not waste your precious time.

There is plenty of them around, just follow this guide and you will probably find them easily, which will get you a bit of extra profit, and speed you up even more.

All you need is just to upgrade tools, and workers, dont buy "Themes" and "Music stuff", cause both of them are a waste of money, and in consequence : waste of your time. And we don't want that obviously.

IMPORTANT : Tools are also equipped by your workers, so getting the best tool possible is important to maximalise you profits.

#1 : Spacebar is also registered as "click"
#2 : Skins for tools dont do ♥♥♥♥. Waste of money.
#3 : Every 1000 clicks you will get sort of "pop-up" saying that you get 5x more damage for 30s, just start mashing both LMB and Spacebar (with autoclicker) to make as much use of it as possible.
