Rebirth guide

What rebirth is

The official description states the pitch in one line: “Rebirth and CHOP THE ENTIRE FOREST!” — rebirth resets your run in exchange for permanent power, and the “entire forest” phrasing is the developer’s own image for what a multiplied Strength stat eventually lets you do: fell anything on the map instead of picking fights you can win. Rebirth is a first-class system in this game, not a hidden menu — two pieces of it are visible in ordinary gameplay.

• A Rebirth button sits in the left button rail of the HUD. (September 12, 2026 capture)
• The hub displays a Rebirth Leaderboard for top rebirthers. (September 12, 2026 capture)

The leaderboard matters more than it looks: it is the developer signaling that rebirth count is the game’s status metric — the number worth climbing after the money loop stops being interesting. It also tells you the system is meant to be repeated, which shapes the timing advice below.

What it gives (creator-reported)

• One walkthrough describes taking “another two times strength,” with a “four times strength” option “if I wanted it”; another reports rebirth unlocking early with “more money, more power.” (Creator videos, September 2026 (auto-captioned))

Read those numbers for their shape, not their precision: both narrations describe rebirth as a Strength multiplier with tiers — a base doubling and a stronger option — plus money on top. The exact multipliers, requirements and reset costs have yet to be shown in any public footage we’ve checked, so this page marks them as gaps rather than filling them in. What is safe to conclude: rebirth multiplies the same Strength stat that choppers and the training gate feed, which is why it compounds with everything else on this wiki instead of replacing it.

When to rebirth

Both walkthroughs rebirth as soon as it’s available after setting up early choppers and upgrades, because the multiplier compounds all future chopping. The logic is worth spelling out: every minute spent at a low multiplier is a minute whose output stays small forever, while resetting costs you only the run’s tempo — the loop (tap the gate, chop, loot, sell) restarts in minutes because you already know it. Until exact requirements are documented, the practical signal is the Rebirth button itself becoming usable; both recorded players reached it early in their first sessions.

Two prep steps make the reset cheaper. First, buy Hookbeak Cutter ($250) if you haven’t — a +4 axe clears the early re-run almost twice as fast per swing as the starter. Second, note your sell-tally rhythm before resetting: the fastest early money in a fresh run is the same loot-and-sell loop you already optimized, just executed against weaker trees.

The open record — what no public source shows yet

• The rebirth confirmation screen and its exact cost have yet to appear in a public capture.
• What precisely resets — strength, choppers, cash, worlds — is described only loosely by narrators.
• Whether the gate keys off level, strength or cash is decided by no public source.

Each of those has a concrete check that would close it: a capture of the confirmation screen (cost), a before/after inventory comparison (reset scope), and the button’s tooltip or lock state (gate condition). The game updates actively — most recently October 4, 2026 — and this page re-checks after every update. Last checked 2026-11-03; earlier check on record: October 3, 2026.

A pre-rebirth checklist from the sourced systems

This follows from the frame-verified loop, not from any hidden rebirth rule: a reset costs tempo, so spend the last minutes of a run on things a fresh run re-earns slowly.

• Bank the bag. A full backpack is worth nothing after a reset if the reset clears cash — press Sell All at the green stall first (observed sale: +$3,055).
• Hold the axe you can rebuy fast. Camp Splitter ($100) and Hookbeak Cutter ($250) are cheap in absolute terms; what matters is re-walking the purchase path, which the hub layout makes short.
• Time it against an update. The update record (September 28, 29, October 2, October 4) shows content lands roughly weekly — a rebirth right before a Hallow-class drop starts the multiplied run with new trees to climb.
• Watch the leaderboard after. The hub’s Rebirth Leaderboard is the public score of how often top players press the button — useful calibration for pacing, and the only rebirth metric the game displays.
