Effective Paths

Made by Mattew the Sheetlord · code sheetlord

A free Google Sheets planner that shows the most efficient upgrade order for your tower. It compares time, cost and stones across health, damage and income, using your own data.

  • Live data: pulls from a master ID sheet that collects your workshop, labs, relics, themes and more, so paths update when the game changes.
  • Quick setup: the Get Started script builds the Effective Path sheet and every sheet it needs.
  • Always current: the copy link always gives you the latest version.
  • Community help: the community answers questions on r/TheTowerGame.

Quick tips

  • Export all your stats: tap your player ID 5 times in the game. It saves a tool_export.json file, usually in your Download folder, that tools like Project Rend can read. Watch Dizzy's quick how-to.
  • Support a creator for free: enter a creator code like jp978 when you buy in the in-game shop or web store. The price doesn't change.

Made with help from JP978

Put together with help from JP978 Gaming: three years of Tower, a Mythic league seat, and a habit of wandering Reddit, Discord and Facebook for data, which may explain why he has forgotten to start the tournament a couple of times.
