A few comments: Color after 3 achieves is really bad, needs to be changed. Also, I have the upgrade sparky but for some reason can only gain up to 80 sparks from acceleration (now 800 after Heat 'em up). Something also seems off with the assign particles values. Besides that, the achievements changing the color scheme is a cool concept (with the exception of color #3)
I think it's a neat idea to have the colors change after achievements, but the one after warmth is super inaccessible! I have perfect color vision and even I have a hard time reading the buttons.
The math is very wonky. I clear my assignments, and then I have 2.55e20 particles unassigned. I then go to assign 1.0e20 to auto sparks, and click the [+], but it assigns 2.55e20 instead of the amount I entered. This makes it very difficult to split assignments between sparks and compressed sparks the way I want.
Also note that this is not the only place the numbers and math are wonky. Wood/Total Wood/Burnt Wood, etc, is another that is.
It has been two years since I played this and posted that. I no longer recall how. Most likely, I clicked a button or manually entered the number somewhere (as "1.0e+20" since most JavaScript handles those kind of numbers without problem).
Why in god's name would you put a cap on the amount of resources you can allocate at once. It's like the game is actively trying to be frustrating to play. Is clicking 10000 times to allocate your resources efficiently supposed to be rewarding, or just a balancing mechanic to stop people from progressing as fast as their numbers?
Looks like the issue's in the getCap(data) function, the line about hasUpgrade("bW", 11) - it multiplies your cap by the square root of your current points, which of course are 0 because you just reset. If you can get into the sources, then just changing it to game.points.pow(0.5).plus(1) fixes this issue
It seems that you can kickstart it by removing 1 from the working particles (type in "1" and press "-" on the left). I managed to finish the game with this.
how the particle assignment "amount to increment" even works? amount is lower than needed but it puts all-in, and in the end after removing everything from it im on 0 particle cap and 1e119 sparks, burning wood doesnt help and guess this is a soft-lock, 1 upgrade from ending it, gg
Not bad little idler. Obviously inspired by AD, the mechanics themselves are pretty unique, and it has a nice rate of progression. Managing assignments and when to burn your wood are fun mechanics. Having to maximize the game to make it playable is annoying, and I got blue balled right before the end. After buying the The End [2] upgrade, the game set my particle cap to zero, and nothing I do changes it. I can't prestige, assign any particles, or gain any sparks. I softcapped myself one upgrade away from beating the game. very annoying.

Other than that though, good game!
The color sucks.
after doing my first wood reset, i can't get compressing sparks to actually work.
what a buggy game. and the dev abandoned it. no integrity.
I think in order to get it to work you need to put 1.00e7 particles into it

How are you assinging 1.0e20 sparks? I can only do a maximum of 1.0e7

Hard reset makes the game unplayable because you can't get the first achievement again.

you can edit the max length in the browser console
the amounts support scientific notation... you can't type 1000000000, but you can type 1e9 and achieve the same thing
time to get the autoclicker out
you can also press enter as long as the plus sign is the last thing you clicked, because it's focused in the browser
now after buying nearly the last upgrade i get no progress and can't get the last upgrade, last few hours for nothing, great

The upgrade "Burnt Wood Power" doesn't seem to work. I have a large multiplier displaying on it, but my particle cap hasn't noticeably increased.
...and now, 8 upgrades later, the game tells me that there's a particle capacity softcap. Shouldn't leave hidden softcaps lying around...

I've got the same issue. Game's basically unplayable rn.

Otherwise, fun idle game.
Why is the game window so small?
why do you have very light grey text on light grey text, I can't even read what anythign does without highlighting everything to get a blue background
and theres not even a setting to change the theme :(
Absolutely this. I don't even usually have a problem with such things, but dang. This is just horrible for your eyes @_@ Solid game, otherwise.
Don't even need to change color of the text, if it's outlined in black.
after buying the upgrade to get more sparks per reset to 200 it only went up to 80
