General

Who is working on this game?

There are a few people working on this game with different roles.

Tasks of people within a role are not set in stone, but in general, moderators keep chat/discord normal and help players out with small problems. Community contributors help develop new parts of the game on a voluntary basis. Artists create the artwork for the game. The developers create the game.

There is currently a running application process to express interest in becoming a moderator found at https://dyno.gg/form/760e2ad0. Applicants will NOT be contacted after they have filled the form, even in case of rejection. Reaching out to the moderation team to discuss your application will likely get your application rejected.

Moderators are picked by the admin team when we feel there is a need for more help and have found a possible new moderator.

How do I join the Idlescape team?

Currently the team largely consists of members of the community who dedicate time and effort to improving Idlescape.

The main roles fulfilled by members of the community are the community contributor role and the moderator role:

  • Community contributors help the game improve by working on the design of the game, fixing bugs, implementing features, and much more.
  • Moderators are moderating the community part of the game, that includes in-game chat and discord, to stay within the rules and are involved with managing other parts of the community aspects of the game.
If you are interested in becoming a community contributor, it is recommended you send a message to the admin team. Make sure to include all important information such as your experience with game design or similar tasks (preferably with examples!), your motivation, what relevant skills you have, what exactly you would like to do, etc.
If you would like to submit an application for a moderating role you can do so here (you need to be a member of the Idlescape discord channel to be able to submit a application). Notice: this does not mean that you will become a mod, be contacted about your application or in any other way notified about it, unless you were to progress further in the selection of becoming a moderator.

Frequent Questions

Can I stack enchantments?

No, enchantments do not stack, the highest level one will be the one that is picked.
(ex: wearing a Protection 5 helm and a Protection 3 chest, only the Helm is counted for 5 Protection)

Do food bonuses stack with equipment bonuses?

Yes, food bonus enchantments stack with item enchantments.

How many actions does this game have?

Idlescape has Infinite actions. The only limitation we have is when you are offline, progress stops after 12 hours, or 24 hours if you are subscribed to Idlescape+.

Does this game have offline progress?

Yes, Idlescape has up to 24 hour offline progress!

What is the highest level I can obtain?

The maximum level obtained in each skill is 99. In leagues with the new experience curve, the maximum is level 100.
After level 99 (or 100 respectively), there are mastery levels. Each mastery level is incrementally harder to obtain and adds one effective level. There is no realistic limit of mastery levels.

How do I obtain heat?

Burn logs, coal or sticks. Alternatively, pyre logs give more heat, but require crafting, cooking and fishing to obtain. Click on the heat icon above your inventory to filter for all items that can be burned.

What does the number after my name in chat mean? Why do some people have colored numbers after their names?

This is your total level of all your skills combined. The color depends on the league that your character belongs to.

Game Mode Color in chat Active
Regular [Level] Yes
Ironman [Level] Yes
No Gather Ironman [Level] Yes
Pre-Season [Level] No
Season 1 Regular [Level] No
Season 1 Ironman [Level] No
Season 2 Buff Madness [Level] No
Pre-Launch [Level] Yes

Why do some players have stars behind their levels in chat?

When a player reaches max level (99) in all skills, their level in chat will now show their total mastery levels rather than regular levels.

How can I get a chat icon?

There are multiple ways to get chat icons. When you have one you can choose it in your chat settings.

Icons are never given out on request, and there is no point in asking for them. Donation icons are only obtained through buying in-game buffs and cosmetic items with platinum. Bug Finder and Community Stars icons are given on staff incentive after several (and/or serious) bug reports or if the player is providing game related assets/guides/improvements etc. Asking for a bug finder/community star icon does not get you one quicker.

Some of the icons you can gain are listed below.

5 Dono Icon Spend a total of 1,000 platinum
