Offline income in Defend Your Treehouse: confirmed behavior, what rates are not public, and how to use away-time in your progression plan.

Official mechanicRates not public

Quick answer

The short version

Officially: 'You earn income offline!' — cash keeps accruing between sessions, so short frequent sessions plus overnight breaks fit the game's economy.

Confirmed

What is official

Official: income accrues while you are away from the game.
Official: the game is built around repeated roll-and-defend cycles funded by cash.
Unknown: the offline income rate, caps, or any multipliers.

Not public yet

What nobody outside the developer knows

Nobody outside the developer can quote an hourly rate. Treat offline time as free progress: bank the income and spend it in planned chunks rather than piecemeal.

In practice

Building an offline habit

Because income accrues while you are away, the efficient rhythm is: spend your cash on planned upgrades or rolls, play a few waves, then log off and let the balance rebuild. Returning players with a banked balance can absorb a bad push without grinding.

Spending order

Where offline cash goes first

Match the spend to your loss cause: treehouse upgrades if you take damage, rolls if waves clear too slowly. The Upgrade Guide walks the decision, and the Setup Planner scores your situation to pick the priority for you.

Watch list

What would update this page

If the developer publishes income rates, caps, or multipliers, this page publishes them with a checked date and updates the spending guidance. Rebalances to the economy would appear in the update log first.
