Sources and scope of this check

The decision, in plain language

What to know before playing

Idle Loops makes the order of actions the central decision. Repeating a planned sequence improves what future loops can accomplish, making it closer to an optimization exercise than a conventional click-for-currency game.

Who it suits

A good match if improving a route sounds more satisfying than collecting another production building.

Before you start

Follow this profile's linked build and export a save before trying a fork. Change one part of a route at a time so the effect is clear.

The tradeoff

Several maintained versions and forks exist. Advice, save compatibility, and features should be checked against the exact version you are playing.
