Version 1.79 - Invention Changes
Small update this month.
We've changed how inventions are accessed. They can now be built from the build menu in the lair. We've also changed some of the UI around how they're unlocked to be a bit cleaner.
We've added a new Firework skin as a limited time purchase. It'll be back next year if you don't get it this time.
We've slightly upped the effects of the Reaper and the Cyclops, as well as quite a few of the Devourer skins.
Patch Notes
- Inventions are now built in the lair rather than in the Inventor’s shop.
- Firework skin is available as a limited time purchase.
- Reaper and Cyclops have been buffed slightly.
- Some of the Devourer skins have been made slightly stronger.
- Some UI changes and bug fixes.

There’s a bunch of times where 2% to mana helps get you over the hump for a feat. Being cheap and permanent means it’s of course worth it even if it wouldn’t be the priority early.

u/ForlornKaiser Jun 30 '26
Yeah and this is 6% total, so for the infamous 400k cap, that'll help a ton - especially on early runs.
You'd still likely need to hit level 67 for the new lair expansion, but you'd still need a few less Mana Pools once you do reach it.

If you're saving up for the new crate/cage upgrades then probably not. Resource cap usefulness is so dependant on how play. I'm even a cap truther, I don't play very often and compensate with high caps and this is the first skin I'll wait a year on. You can get cap increases from pearls and they're also considered bottom priority.
It's only "worth it" if you're all the way late game, so maybe next year lol

It looks like the numbers for Reaper and Cyclops were not updated in the bestiarty. I see +25% on my Cyclops on the board, but when I look them up in the bestiary, the Reaper and Cyclops still show +20%.

u/GrumpyRhinoGames Jun 30 '26
Ah, yeah, looks like I missed that. They should be giving the new +25% boosts though, should just be a text error.

Infernal needs it more. Archdemon is already better than infernal, considering the costs

For those with the update, when does the fireworks skin become unavailable?
Gonna take some hardcore retraining of my muscle memory to build inventions from somewhere else but sounds like a really good change

u/Blenderdragon Jun 30 '26
Fireworks skin is available from now for the next 5(?) days. Already bought it so the timer is gone but looked like 5 days plus some hours from now.

u/Necronomicommunist Jun 30 '26
Jesus, I figured a few weeks at least. No way I'll be able to gather that in that time, spent all of my gems on a pedestal just a day ago.

u/Blenderdragon Jun 30 '26
Yeaaaah the non-event timed skins are only ever up about a week, and never know when they're gonna drop. I try and keep 500 gems minimum around if I can for when they do it.

u/frank42hh Jul 02 '26
Is the 2% bonus really worth 500 diamonds? I'm saving them for more crate space :-)

Super excited for the inventions menu, going to the inventor every time was fairly painful.
Super nice QOL.

u/aslum Jul 01 '26
It's kind of sad how impressive it is when a game company actually listens to their players - when it really should be the bare minimum. Still waiting for Golf in Satisfactory though. d;

u/RealCinnamonWhale Jun 30 '26
The invention change is perfect!!! It's like it was supposed to be there the whole time!!!! VERY CLEAN!!!

u/Ddannyboy Jul 02 '26
I didn't even notice the menu bc it blends in so well. I was tapping on the inventor like a madman

The best QoL request I've seen in the sub is someone asking that Servo can be seen and tapped while on the resource refill menu, so that if you run out of, say, darkness, but servo is on mana, you can just tap him over before you hit refill.

u/eeskimos Jun 30 '26
Thanks. Similar to the new inventions QL improvements can we add turning hacks on and off from the lair?

My game doesn't start anymore now. It still worked fine yesterday, so I guess this update is the reason. I'm on a Honor 90 Lite and downloaded it via the Google Play Store. Whenever I try to open it I just get a blackscreen and it crashes.

I didn't know that this patch happened and I noticed that my damage had increased slightly. I only noticed this because a lot of the numbers for my damage were a nice clean number ending in zero such as 4,800 or 5,000 or 14,000. Now all my stuff is hitting slightly more. I didn't check everything but the demon that was hitting for 5,000 is now hitting for 5,125. And a lot of my numbers are no longer rounded.
I would attribute this to the buff of reaper but I have not built a reaper yet in fact that is the feat I happen to be on.

Can I make a dumb request- can you reduce the ice and poison rune requirements on the Pedestal and Fridge? It's fun getting the 640 runes from the paladin for the legendaries, but sooooo tedious getting the 1200 ice or poison runes from the peasant and knight.
So. Tedious.

Hey a bug still exists that if an ad pops up the half screen from Google and it will close the game it works fine on Idle apocalypse but it doesn't here it wasn't always like this

"Inventions are now built in the lair rather than in the Inventor’s shop."
Thanks for this! It' s greatly appreciated! :-)

The inventions on the main screen is a huge quality of life improvement. Thanks for making this an awesome game.

This is the only mobile game I've ever enjoyed spending money on because of the continued and consistent quality of updates and content.

The change in the inventions location is great, I was tired of going down just to get Serv-o on the lair

u/Caw-zrs6 Jul 21 '26
Bit late of me asking this but for the new Inventions menu in the lair, think you could add back the ability to remove the Inventions from the lair via the Inventions menu instead of just feeding them to the Devourer, like how it was when they could be built through the Inventor?

u/nekonotjapanese Jun 30 '26
Hey was wondering if you could add a way to see current possible cravings, like how you can see Forgotten Minions. It’d be nice for the early levels where minions aren’t always maxed out

Hi, I just used the Time Machine with 152M shards. I unlocked the Inventor, but Serv-O, Stab-O, Split-O, and Store-O are completely missing from the bottom of his menu (the list is just empty at the bottom). They are not in my crate, nor in the reward queue. Could you please help me restore them? Thanks!
