Game Tick

== Summary ==
Like many other games, Merge Dragons! has a built in tick system. A tick in this game is defined by 1 second. Many events in the game are influenced by the amount of ticks which have passed. Ticks will only count if the map where the objects are found is loaded.
Below you can see the tables of objects affected by ticks, sorted by their action (spawning, growing, tapping, harvesting or decaying).
