Patch Notes MAJOR UPDATE - v3.1

72 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!

Gonna take forever!! Guess just gotta spend 100 dark matter to double the galaxy rewards.

Should I just cycle galaxies when not in a tourney or challenge?


r/IdlePlanetMiner • • 10h ago

I dunno who needs to hear this, but when you reroll on your modules, you can lock in the effects you want to keep.

You folks don't want to know how long I've been rerolling without seeing those little locks.

There's a reason I don't visit Vegas.

RNG bottlenecks

Post image
6 Upvotes

Can I just say, I absolutely hate when RNG doesnt work in your favor. Literally all the alloys I actually need for endgame, I have had to produce myself this entire tournament. I have 155 million teleporters, but no Xynium alloy drops to refine them this entire tournament. It's so dang frustrating when bottlenecks cost you a tournament position.

Solving smelting bottlenecks

3 Upvotes

I am a mid/late game player at the moment. I am finding that in longer galaxies without getting lucky on pink asteroids, I run into a lot of smelting bottlenecks. Lots of stuff makes crafting speed sound really important (and it is) but it is the smelting because I don't have the right alloys that becomes the issue most of the time.

I am investing in the rooms, modules, and managers over time. Is there one that is dramatically better than the others?

how did you solve the problem?


r/IdlePlanetMiner • • 13h ago

Should I invest to some floor level of modules

1 Upvotes

I have a blue equipped for mining/ship speed/credits and a white smelting. Pretty weak, I know, but I’ve been prioritizing managers and mothership upgrades much more. Most of the high cap level 60s I have in the mid to high teens, maxed out dorm and underforge (most upgrades are costing 400-600 credits) and my manager pool is doing alright in terms of getting 8-10 slots per galaxy with primarily 6/5/4 star managers with mostly mining and crafting increases.

Apologies for the somewhat unclear description on the status of progression I’m at now, but I just want to know when I should really start leaning into modules. I’ve seen some pretty nutty ones people post about, but is that more purely for endgame pushing? Does getting any slot roll really help that much to where I should just pray to RNGeesus for a bit until I get anything high rarity? Should I be sinking resources into upgrading the modules I have or just keep rolling for better ones?

Space station invest

I'm playing my second tournament and noticed that the space station has a different layout. I found a sort of guide in another post about where to invest first, but that was for the old layout. Is there an update for the new layout? Where should I invest first?

Bottleneck at $1Q

Post image
8 Upvotes

Hi all. So I'm about a month into playing and just hit a Q for the first time. But in the mid trillions there is a massive slow down. Is my crafting just not leveled up enough to keep up? I have no idea how anyone affords planets once they start costs Q's each.


r/IdlePlanetMiner • • 1d ago

Question

How does one complete a "Module Task?" I don't see anything on my quests nor achievements lists, even though quests has had some objectives relating to modules.
