Nice take on the story and the fact made as strategy/building game. in a final game it would probably help to reduce amount of need for clicks. probably a progress bar that builds up over time and release bunch of sticks.
What do you mean? The auto pigs do that for you? You can upgrade how often they tick to a max of per 0.5 secs and upgrade how many materials they give u per tick..
and once u upgrade to a wood hut, each tick gives you 10x the amount of wood as sticks. So for every 1 wood it gives you 10 sticks, reducing the need to click on stick huts, Then once u upgrade to stone, 1 stone gives u 10 wood. reducing the need to click on wood huts. So you only need to click a short time until u have the piggies working well on each new level of hut.
