Updates & Changed Guides

Start with 1.0.13 for the current fixes, then look back only when an older guide or saved run behaves differently. This index connects the official patch sequence to the player problems and data entries it changes. The older /patch-notes URL remains the long-term release and demo chronology.

1.0.13 · 2026-09-23

Update before diagnosing transport, missing unlocks after saving, lost boons or infinity upgrades. The announcement fixes specific causes; it does not promise repair of already damaged saves or disclose the new crop values.

  1. Infinity Pipe item transfer corrected.
  2. Chili strengthened; Pineapple reduced slightly.
  3. Oasis Infinity upgrade gold increased; negative-one multiplier corrected.
  4. Craft/building corruption caused by saving after an achievement corrected.
  5. Ending entries missing from the cave table corrected.
  6. Some boons resetting on load corrected.
  7. Data Rush infinity upgrades corrected.

1.0.12 · 2026-09-21

Old advice to keep digging deeper for the yellow mine material is incomplete after this patch. Recheck the updated mine before judging rarity from launch-week runs. The movement-speed entry is a text fix, not evidence of a changed buff value.

  1. Memory Chest and Lumina Chest corrected; exact failure modes were not specified.
  2. Dusk Gold moved higher in the mine.
  3. Track 4 made easier.
  4. Permanent movement-speed wording in the woods minigame corrected.

1.0.11 · 2026-09-20

Do not size a factory using the old Altar or Loot Manifester timings. Search for Simple Metal Smeltery when an older guide says Alloy Forge. The notes do not provide new fuel quotas or a numerical rune cap.

  1. Alloy Forge renamed Simple Metal Smeltery.
  2. Leaving Minigame 1 faces its entrance.
  3. Minigame 4 fuel quotas reduced and its work-in-progress icon removed.
  4. Minigame 5 progression doubled.
  5. Altar production interval changed from 1.5 to 4 seconds.
  6. Loot Manifester readiness corrected from 3 to 300 seconds.
  7. Rune text no longer claims unlimited scaling.

1.0.10 · 2026-09-18

This is launch-day history, not the latest build. An old Primary Only complaint or difficult Gauntlet video may predate this change; later patches also change minigame progression and upgrades.

  1. Oasis wording and icons corrected.
  2. Primary Only upgrade no longer incorrectly supplies Stone.
  3. Gauntlet's Data Rush section reworked to be easier.

Changed does not mean fully documented

A balance note can establish that something changed without publishing its new number. We keep unknown crop yields, recipe costs and rune caps out of calculators. Patch summaries are paraphrases; use each official announcement for the original wording.
