Idle game fan here. I finally threw in the towel just under 2500 hours in (left running day and night). The game holds your enjoyment at the start and middle stages. At the late game stage the resources needed to get anything done just take weeks and weeks, so finally I admitted I won't see it through to the end and I just shut it down for likely the last time. It's certainly worth a visit if you like an idle game, just don't expect to be able to sensibly complete it.
