** The level cap for Taxonomy buyables is 400. The Chromosomes III upgrade increases that by 4*(Chromosomes-37), eventually capping at 850. Then the Chromosomes VIII upgrade increases that by 3*Chromosomes, going as high as 1100. Then the Chromosomes 14 milestone increases that further by Chromosomes - 234, up to 1210. Chromosome Milestone 29 then replaces that with 1500+Nucleuses, but Chromosome Milestone 32 reduces that to 1200+Nucleuses. Some other upgrades and Truly Chromosomeless also affect the cap, but the main affecting factor in the end is Human Milestone 44 which makes it 10*Plants and is expected to go above 1e12 by the endgame.

* OutOfFocus: The Science layer is a crucial part of extreme mode at first, receiving several upgrades and buyables through the first four original game layers. Once you get to Phosphorus however, the game stops giving it new tabs, while Nitrogen Science maxes out rather early beforehand and all the buyables are soon covered thanks to an autobuyer. It eventually comes back with Protein and DNA Science tabs with some new buyable in the latter, but then it becomes almost useless again after starting Token II.

** Effects which are added to milestones in previous layers are written in red.

* WombLevel: The Organs layer has several organs as part of tabs with mechanics related to them, like a Heart that beats in while making oxygenated blood and beats out while making deoxygenated blood, a Kidneys that filters said blood out depending on which one you have selected at the moment, a Lung that produces Air and can put it in challenges named after parts of the respiratory system to improve its effect, and an Intestine with buyables that produce Energy.

* MissingSecret: The Micro tab has seven upgrades, with the last one called Micronutrient bulk buying its ...waves and ...phone buyables and costing 1e500,000 Micro. Nearly al other buyables have upgrades/milestones that bulk buy them and you can easily reach over e500,000,000 Micro, but no matter how long you wait for the resource to accumulate, there is no eighth upgrade that bulk buys ...soft. Eventually, ...phone becomes useless anyway.

* ExportSave: You can export the 20KB+ save file and paste it into an in-game window. There's also a save bank that lets you import short phrases related to states of progression, working as a PasswordSave of sorts with the different parts of the game it lets you come/return to.

* PointOfNoReturn: Certain upgrades or other things make layers which are no longer useful inaccessible for your save file. While some of these can be double subverted as some high-level resets bring layers back but disable them again once you reach a certain point, most of the very early game is gone for good.

''The Tree of Life'' is an IdleGame by Creator/{{pg132}} made in UsefulNotes/TheModdingTree and released in 2021. You initially produce Life Points and can reset for Hydrogen. As you collect more of it, you get upgrades and new chemicals to grow stronger. Phase 1 focuses on several chemical elements and letter-based minigames, Phase 2 goes frm lives and more complex chemicals to ecosystems and plants, while Phase 3's theme is humanity. This is potentially the biggest and most ambitious out of all games made in the engine so far, expect to spend more than a week on it.

As you collect more of it, you get upgrades and new chemicals to grow stronger. Eventually, you move on beyond the initial few layers and start focusing on ones that are based on the body, then you move on to layers based on entire animals, species, and ecosystems. This is potentially the biggest and most ambitious out of all games made in the engine so far, expect to spend more than a week on it.

** Multiplier from Humans to Biomass gain is limited to 1e100 and the one to Ecosystem gain is limited to 1e500.

* SerialEscalation: Even more than the other trees. The first few layers are mostly stuff on a molecular level. The midgame focuses on cells, organs, and tissues, basically parts of a single organism. The lategame involves animals and species, though there are also layers based on chromosomes and nucleuses. The endgame has full-on ecosystems. [[https://waitbutwhy.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/10/1.2-emergence-tower-comparison-1.png This]] is what the developer was inspired by when making this game.

** A, B, C, and other letters are variables marked in red, specifically done so to avoid confusion with the corresponding points.

* ShoutOut: The last five Amino Acids milestones that are exclusive to non-extreme mode are taken from Creator/WilliamShakespeare's Sonnet 106.
* ShownTheirWork: Many upgrades and parts are taken from actual biological terminology. The buyables called "Totipotent" and "Pluripotent" sound like random words related to "Omnipotent" at first, but looking them up reveals those are actual descriptions of cell potency.

** The upgrades for the C minigame are all named after foods that start with the letter "C" (such as chicken, cabbage, cheese, coconut, cod, and cupcake).

* WhamEpisode: The DNA layer. This is the point in the game where the earlier layers Hydrogen, Carbon, and Oxygen (as well as all five minigames) are removed permanently.

* ChallengeRun: A bunch of layers have challenges where you have to reach a certain resource with a restriction and get a reward for doing so. The Life layer even has challnges where you need to select a number that applies multiple challenges at once (so C72 would apply C7 twice and C2 once), providing respective Gems if you do well enough.
