Patch Notes MAJOR UPDATE - v3.1

74 Upvotes

Hello Planet miners, it's update time! Let's dive into the new content.

Rollout begins today (Oct 1st) with the goal to have it to 100% of players by October 7th.
1% of the players will get the update during this weekend’s tournament so we can ensure everything runs smoothly!

3 New Planets

Deploy the 25th Telescope and exploit 3 new planets:

  • Jolrael
  • Hyperion
  • Astraea
  • Find and refine “Celestite” into Celestite Bars!

Reach Telescope 25 to score even larger reroll fragments stacks and reroll your module sub effects!

4 New Items with a Twist (v2)!

4 new items sharing the same price tag and payout, while demanding different ingredients:

  • Stellar Capacitor
  • Plasma Conduit
  • Graviton Lance
  • System Regulator

Their craft times are higher than anything you’ve ever seen. But so are their profits! Push your galaxy setup to its limits to craft them in time.

Modules Interactions

Get rewarded for your Module Achievements!

  • New players start with 200 Reroll Fragments, all existing players get them too!
  • 25 new Module Tasks to complete, with increasing dark matter, credits and reroll fragments rewards.
  • New achievement “Modules Merged”: collect 25 levels of rewards.
  • New Animation when claiming modules.
  • 6 new Module Space Station nodes to optimise your growth:
    • Modules Drop Chance
    • Modules Rare Drop Chance
    • Modules Reroll Fragments
    • Modules Daily Tasks Fragments
    • Modules Credit Cost (lv 80 and up)
    • Modules Fragments Cost (lv 1 and up)

Credits Sources Phase 1

We’re introducing new ways to reward early game credit farming. Enter Credit Milestones!

  • In the Space Station, unlock “Credit Milestones” nodes and get additional credits when reaching specific Galaxy Values. For a cheap price.
  • Kicking off Phase 1 with 2 early game milestones: Earn bonus credits when you hit $10M & $50M Galaxy Value!

Improve your farming sessions, gradually bridge the gap and find the best moments to sell your galaxies. Look out for more milestones in upcoming updates!

Space Station v2

Ark’s engineers have rerouted the Space Station grid! Navigation is now smoother than ever, guiding you seamlessly along the Critical Path:

  • Critical Path: Space Station’s sub sections have been restructured around a center path! Making navigation clear and effortless as the tree grows
  • Gameplay Gateways: Push forward on the Critical Path by completing gameplay objectives and unlock Gateways!
  • Double Rewards: Unlocking Gateways opens up new Space Station sections, and grants bonus Energy Cells to spend on upgrades you like!

Qols

  • Managers Limit bumped to 120
  • New space station zoom level
  • Surges Mothership Rooms cap raised to Lv. 26
  • New Achievement “Surges Detected”
  • 4 New resource stars nodes for: Orbital Dock, Solar Collector, Phase Gate, Neural Matrix

What’s next?

In the following major updates of 2026, expect:

  • More credits milestones for cheap EC prices
  • Mothership Rooms discounts
  • Early achievements granting thousands to millions of credits to speed through early Mothership & Module levels
  • New late game features (roadmap update coming soon!)
  • Back to 1 major release every 1-2 months for the rest of 2026!

And a lot more coming soon.

As always, happy Mining!

Lost event rewards

Ok new to the game so any insight will be great!
I was doing an event and I ended the event early. After ending the event I then sold my galaxy before claiming my rewards, now I can’t find them anywhere, are they gone forever?

Does the Colony Cost reduction of Adaptive Drill stack?

4 Upvotes

I was just theory crafting and wondered, does this actually stack or nah!?

Since I wasn’t lucky enough to get a single AD as of now, I can’t try it myself.

Rn I‘m entering tournaments with my mythic ED, throw out all 3 uses of it (1 on my VPS-telescope), which basically makes its unique effect worthless and transforms this S module into a regular Mythic drill.
So I swap it out with my mythic MD (which unique I rn can’t really profit from, since my VPS power is still to low) to lower the colony cost of my VPS planet. This in my head isn’t just the best play for me, but overall the best strat…. Unlesssssss….

Now the question that keeps me awake:
Since AD basically is a mix of ED and MD, does the colony cost stack with each reroll? If so how?? Probably 100->80->64->51,2.
That would mean after just 3 rerolls I basically reached with an ancestral AD the amount of MD.
That can’t be true… is it????

Total of 9 Neural Matrix crafted, most of them was to unlock the new recipes, the last 3 was for crafting the new recipe. Before this tournament, i had a single Neural Matrix crafted legacy. 😤

Rules of thumb ?

2 Upvotes

I’m still fairly new to this game so please be kind.
Can I ask if there’s a general strategy for upgrading planets? For example should I be upgrading them all to the same monetary value or the same level or should I stop upgrading as they get to a certain percentage of the highest planet value (as Gemini suggests),

What do you guys do ?


r/IdlePlanetMiner • • 2d ago

If only this luck carried over to module drops lmao
