Very slow moving game. You will fall asleep playing it. It's definitely not worth investing any money in. Every build it all starts all over. There's no speed to it and if you're like me I like faster moving games to keep my focus. Uninstalling and because at no point did it ever pick up any speed to keep your attention. Very very boring. Watching paint dry is easy ls way more fun. Now it's froze and no one to help you. They blame it on your device. Still not worth paying for. Stay away.

Paint and nails suck. I love being able to upgrade things over time, to check in occasionally to see how my factory is doing, and 95% of the game does that well. At some point, you can only upgrade your factory if you have enough prestige points, which you get by building houses, which need wood plus nails and paint. Those are only doled out in tiny quantities by manually dispatching the correct orders, which requires more frequent intervention than an idle game should.

Games good but ads are bad. Some are ok. Others get stuck preventing further play of game. You have to kill game, restart again, then hope you get a different ad. L.M.F.A.O or something similar name is the vern one hanging. Very deceptive ads, reward in 1 second that stays for a minute or two. Some bugs you can report, others you can't. The ads need to be managed better. Developer just sent response that is not connecter to my complaint. I said ADVERTISMENTS get stuck. Game works fine.

Fun concept but in order to progress you have to keep the game open and either constantly play ads or be attentive to clicking new orders every 2 minutes. But there is nothing else you can do in the game but wait for the next order every couple of minutes. So, either stare at your phone waiting for time to pass or constantly play ads to make time pass faster, then click on something and repeat. Meh!

Lost interest. Very repetitive. So I'm upto the Nano factory. I was looking forward to something new but every rebuild is the exact same factory. The little previews are different. After building resawing the canting column in sales is useless. You should be able to pick a manager. So frustrated when sanding is max and other lines are max but get a log jam. Losing my interest to play because it's the same over and over. Maxed out all 3 lines. Was looking forward to something new.

Game is decent but ruined by excessively long ads. I dont mind ads but in a game where you pause the game and watch a 60 second ad you have to interact with just to advance 90 to 120 seconds, it's just too much. If they shorten all ads to under 30 seconds without having to interact with the ad to advance it I'll raise my rating. For now it's not worth downloading.

I understand the ads are technically optional, you don't HAVE to watch them, but you also aren't getting managers at any reasonable time without watching them. Worse, timers don't progress without the screen on and app being open, including pause while you wait for an ad to finish!! Gameplay is kinda fun, that's the only reason it's not 1 star. I'm sure this is getting uninstalled soon, I can't stand being forced to leave my phone unlocked just for a timer. Better name: Idle Battery Drainer.

Once you get up to a high enough level the forklifts don't move fast enough. And it also takes forever to level up managers of each building. I've been playing this game for over a year and it takes me several months till advance to the next sawmill level. (EDIT AFTER DEVELOPER REPLY): No, my factory is not blocked by a stuck order. Samuel's reoccurring order is turned on. The game still takes FOREVER for me to level up to the next Sawmill. You're just trying to get money from us.

I gave up on this game, the focus seems to be building the houses with nails and paint being limited. An ad takes 5 minutes off of an 8 hour build. Idk how this game has anywhere near 4 stars. Oof... i stopped playing weeks ago. Now this game loading as an ad in other games. It is nothing like the ad. Pick another game and save yourselves the time. FALSE ADVERTISING!

At first it was okay. But there is nothing fun about resetting every single time you want to upgrade. The ads are overflowing in this game with NO incentive! Did a ×2 boost on an order that would have brought it to 22b(original 11) but instead I got 3.2b. Uninstalled and won't be back. Don't bother. It's nearly unplayable as is due to ads.

Fun game, until you reach the Futuristic Sawmill. At this level, everything is the same and looped repetitively. You can drop a few purchases and add some diamonds, but the end result is the same as the previous Sawmills. I enjoyed Lumber Inc up to this level, and it did take some time to achieve. Enjoy the slow pace and repetitive results, I did.

It can be a fun and engaging game but it stops being fun when you lose all the progress and you get put all the way back to the beginning without an explanation. Lost debarking equipment, 3 canter centers, driver for transporting logs kept going to sleep, and it seemed the only way to play the game was to pay for all the little extras which I'm not into.

I have the game a few days... roughly 20 hours. It's really fun when you get started, but very quickly you realize the ONLY way make any progress is: 1. to keep the game open while filling orders. This means you're pressing a button right every 2 minutes and otherwise just staring at a screen. You must do this for hours on end. 2. Watch ads, which can be several minutes. This helps get you upgrades that you must have. Summary... Play it for a few hours and then delete it.

The game play starts off slow but give it some time and it does turn into fun. As others have said the ads are killing me. There's no timer to let you know how long the ad plays for and they are interactive, so you have to click the double arrow in order for the ad to complete. The avg time is about a minute long. Then each ad has a timer before the X appears. While the ads are optional, you won't progress without them. The game is very clicky, ppl just stop working until you intervene.

I was really enjoying this game despite it not really being a great idle game based on what you have to do to upgrade things. However, over that last two or three weeks the game keeps crashing. Sometimes while watching an ad, sometimes randomly but a lot of the time I never get past the load screen anymore! At one point I tried 8 times before just giving up. It's ridiculous!

I like it, but... Needs one change desperately. I don't mind the ads, at least you get something for them. You actually get to make progress when you watch ads, it's not just pure annoyance. What is annoying is the "Orders Timer". It stops if you're not just sitting there staring at it. Go check your email, timer stops, go over to the villages to collect rent, timer stops, watch an ad inside this very game and the timer stops. PLEASE change that. Let the Orders Timer run!

Fun for 1st factory, then all others the same. Never like what they showed in their ads. Deceptive advertising, which is basically lying. Too many ads! Worse yet, they require interaction multiple times and lots of full minute and more ads. I get that they are making money, but they have gotten greedy and have no respect for the time of their patron partners - those playing the game and watching the ads. My suggestion, play through one sawmill level and then uninstall.

workers constantly stop working, and slack off. every 60 seconds you have to tap one because he "falls asleep" no ability to change it either. cant fire or upgrade that to not be an issue, pretty dang annoying that things back up so fast within even 1 hour after install. progress needs a change im this game, but for now id just not recommend, not very idle for a idle game when you need constant input.

I like the game although it is starting to get repetitive. But I'm writing this to warn others against the "no ads" "vip" upgrade. It does reduce your ads but you are still bombarded with "$3.99 to upgrade yadda yadda" constantly. Feels like a false advertising scam. If they're trying to get me to buy something and I have to hit a little x it's an ad right?

I'm on level 5 after about 6 days playing. Each level(a 'different' sawmill) so far is essentially the same with the money increasing and supervisors leveling up which levels up machines same as the last level. All of which you have to watch a ton of ads to advance to getting orders faster, collecting chests with cards etc. Some ads are 45+ seconds. I'm going to do one more level to see if there is any meaningful difference, if not I'll be uninstalling.
