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)

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 does the number after my name in chat mean?

This is your total level of all your skills combined. Default color (white) are regular players, while gray total levels are Ironman mode accounts.

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.

Do food bonuses stack with equipment bonuses?

Yes, food bonus enchantments stack with item enchantments.

What is the highest level I can obtain?

The maximum level obtained in each skill is 99.
After level 99, 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.

Why do some people have colored numbers after their names?

Depending on which game mode they are currently playing their level or mastery colors are different.

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] Yes
Season 1 Ironman [Level] Yes

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.
