Chop Your Tree Getting Started Guide
Learn the water-grow-chop loop, first upgrades, and where to go next on the wiki.
Chop Your Tree is a Roblox incremental simulator by Simple Bricks Trees where your personal plot revolves around one tree. Water it, let it grow, chop it for coins, reinvest into water machines, and eventually prestige into The Void for crystals that multiply every future run. This getting started guide walks a brand-new player through the first hour without jargon — then points you toward deeper pages when you are ready to optimize.
The game released on Roblox in November 2025. Servers can hold other players, but your tree, coins, and upgrades are individual — nobody else progresses your account for you.
Install and join
- Open the official Chop Your Tree Roblox page and press Play.
- Allow the experience to load your private plot with a starter tree and watering cans.
- Join the Simple Bricks Trees Roblox group when prompted or via our Totems & Boosts page for a free coin multiplier totem.
Avoid third-party download sites or script executors. See the Scripts hub if you wonder why automation cheats are risky.
The core loop in four steps
Every system in Chop Your Tree wraps around the same cycle:
1. Water the tree
Early on you click watering cans manually. Each pour fills a growth meter. Later, Auto Taps and Sprinklers automate this step.
2. Grow the tree
Growth increases chop payout. Mutations on the tree temporarily boost value until you chop. Weather events like Full Moon or Galactic can accelerate growth or payouts during active sessions.
3. Chop for coins
When the tree is ready, chop it to collect coins based on size, mutations, boosts, and multipliers. Timing chops during events or with stacked can mutations yields more income — covered in Earn Coins Fast.
4. Reinvest
Spend coins on water machines, plot space, and eventually prestige requirements. Saving blindly stalls progress; buying randomly wastes coins. Follow upgrade priority below.
Repeat the loop. Each cycle should fund a slightly better purchase until automation carries you toward prestige.
First 30 minutes: recommended order
| Step | Action | Why |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Complete any tutorial prompts | Unlocks shop UI |
| 2 | Water until first chop | Learn manual rhythm |
| 3 | Buy first Auto Tap | Removes click fatigue |
| 4 | Add Sprinklers when affordable | Wider passive coverage |
| 5 | Claim group totem | Free coin boost |
| 6 | Expand plot when shop offers cheap tiers | More machine slots |
Exact coin prices shift with patches — check your live shop. The Water Sources tier list ranks machines if you hesitate between two purchases.
Controls and UI basics
Movement uses standard Roblox WASD or thumbstick controls. Menus for shop, inventory, and prestige live on screen edges. If buttons confuse you, read the dedicated Controls guide for a screen-by-screen map.
Key UI habits:
- Open the shop after every chop until mid-game purchases slow down.
- Watch the growth bar before chopping — premature chops pay less.
- Check weather icons for active Acid Rain, Frost, Full Moon, or Galactic bonuses.
Offline progress matters early
Chop Your Tree intentionally refills watering cans while offline. Log off with empty cans and return to a partially or fully refilled inventory. This is not a bug — it supports idle progression detailed in AFK & Offline Play. Even beginners should log out with cans ready to drip-fill.
Mutations: what to know on day one
Two mutation types exist:
- Watering can mutations stack permanently on the can.
- Tree mutations last until the next chop.
You do not need perfect mutations immediately. When you want to farm them deliberately, switch to How to Get Mutations after your first Auto Tap purchase.
When to think about prestige
Prestige resets plot coin progress in exchange for Void crystals and access to The Void upgrade shop. First prestige commonly requires large coin savings split across plot expansion, a Prestige Shrine purchase, and a reset fee — community estimates often cite roughly 75M for plot expansion, 15M for the shrine, and 20M for the fee, rewarding on the order of 750 crystals, but all values can change with updates.
Do not rush prestige before you understand the costs. Use How to Prestige and the Prestige Checklist tool when you approach those numbers.
Codes and free rewards
There are no active promo codes in Chop Your Tree currently. Free rewards come from the Roblox group totem, offline cans, and weather events — documented on the Codes Hub.

Frequently Asked Questions
Quick answers to the most common questions.
What is the main goal in Chop Your Tree?
Grow your tree through watering and machines, chop for coins, buy better water sources, and prestige into The Void for crystals that boost long-term income.
Is Chop Your Tree multiplayer?
Servers are online, but progression is individual. Other players share the space yet cannot advance your plot or spend your coins.
What should I buy first?
Prioritize Auto Taps and Sprinklers from the water machine shop, claim the free group totem, and expand plot space when cheap tiers appear.
Does progress continue while offline?
Yes — watering cans refill offline. Pair this with automated machines later for stronger idle gains.
When should a beginner read about prestige?
After you own several water machines and coin income slows. Use the How to Prestige guide and Prestige Checklist tool before your first reset.
Are there working promo codes?
Not currently. Join the Simple Bricks Roblox group for free totem boosts and watch the Codes Hub if redemption is added later.
