News21 May 2026Now in Beta: Patch 1.3This is a living document and will be updated during the beta. The festive wonder is made available during beta so that it can be easily tested. Hello CivIdlers! I am happy to present to you Patch 1.3. This content patch is rather unique: it was not planned, as I am busy working on my upcoming game Restitutor (more on that later). However, while working on Restitutor, there were certain ideas t…
First of all, Happy holidays ! A quick update before the draft patch notes: After patch 1.1, I’ll be taking an indefinite break from actively developing CivIdle. In recent months, there has been pressure and activism within the community aimed at influencing the game’s content. Dealing with this has been emotionally exhausting, and it has taken a real toll on me. What used to feel exciting and…
On my 12-hour flight back from holiday, I wrote a sentimental piece on the 1.0 release: how rough the initial early access was; how many times I thought about giving up, and how the community helped me push through. However, I couldn't find the draft after I got off the plane. So let me spare you all the sentiments and get straight to the practicalities. To quote Winston Churchill, 1.0 is not t…
Hello, before the usual draft patch notes, I have some news for you. The next patch won't be 0.28 - it will be 1.0 . Yes, I am bringing CivIdle out of early access with the next patch!

It doesn't mean the end of content updates - in fact, I already have a post 1.0 content patch planned. T…

Update: Patch 0.26 is now in beta, draft patch notes is now available Wonder Tier List Do you know that we have 120 wonders in Patch 0.25? I've made a convenient tier list if you are in the mood: Here's one made by Discord Server member @shaaw I've started to work on Patch 0.26 after finishing Spaceship Idle rewrite (give that a try if you are interested!) and I am splitting my time between two…

I have good news for y'all macOS gamers! CivIdle has an experimental macOS build available - if you install Steam on macOS, Steam should automatically pick it up. The build is Intel (x64) but should work on Apple Silicon Macs as well (via Rosetta 2). Unfortunately, I don't own an Apple Silicon Mac so it's unlikely that I will be able to provide an Apple Silicon build. In fact, the only Mac I cu…
