## What is Cosmic Forge?

Cosmic Forge is a deep offline idle game about turning a single iron vein into an interstellar mining empire.

START SIMPLE Tap rocks. Upgrade your shaft. Automate with a baseline foreman. Watch a transporter shuttle ore from the mine to the refinery, then to the warehouse, where it sells for Coins. Every component — shaft, transporter, refinery, warehouse — has its own milestone multipliers every 10 levels, so progression keeps unlocking speed and capacity spikes.

UNLOCK THE COSMOS Beyond Alpha Asteroid there are comet clusters, planets, moons, anomalies, and singularity zones. Each location type has its own production multipliers and warehouse sell rates — anomaly-grade minerals pay poorly per second but richly per sale.

HIRE MANAGERS Common managers enable auto-mining; bonus managers stack passive multipliers and trigger powerful active abilities (instant trips, production boosts, free upgrades). Assign them per mine. Some managers survive prestige.

RESEARCH TREE 50+ research nodes across multiple branches — economy, production, transport, offline efficiency, stock capacity, coin multipliers, prestige. Queue active research in parallel slots (expand via Galactic Research). Every tier you complete compounds.

PRESTIGE FOREVER Perform a Stellar Reset when the cosmos is ready. Earn Stardust based on your total iron-equivalent across every resource. Spend Stardust on permanent upgrades that carry across runs. Eventually unlock Galactic Ascension — a meta-prestige layer with its own research tree and Dark Matter currency.

DAILY CHALLENGES Three challenges per day with streak rewards at 7 and 14 days. Missed days reset the streak but the game doesn't punish absence.

OFFLINE EARNINGS Step away for up to a week — Cosmic Forge continues mining at a tapered efficiency schedule and rolls a summary up on your return. Research that was in flight completes while you sleep.

COMPLETELY OFFLINE No account required. No internet required. No ads. No in-app purchases. No subscriptions. No tracking. No analytics. No SDKs phoning home.

GOD MODE (OPTIONAL) Want to test builds, skip a grind, or just play sandbox? God Mode is free for everyone — a one-tap toggle in Settings (behind a "this may corrupt your save" warning, because it really can).

First public release — 0.19.0. Thanks for playing through 100+ pre-release builds with us.


## Version history (last 2 releases)

### 0.20.0 — 2026-06-12

THE DEPTH UPDATE

The forge has never burned brighter. This is the biggest expansion since launch — and your save carries over untouched.

COSMIC EVENTS
Every two days a 48-hour event sweeps the galaxy. Comet Storms supercharge crystal production, Solar Flares boost selling rates, Trade Booms lift exchange prices — six more await discovery. Watch the banner, plan around them, profit.

SMARTER DAILY CHALLENGES
Three times the variety with 39 challenge types, targets that scale with your progress, and a hard tier reserved for prestige veterans. You'll never see the same challenge two days in a row.

PRESTIGE, CLARIFIED
The prestige card now shows exactly what a Stellar Reset earns right now, how fast that grows, and how long until your next Stardust. Reward curve roughly doubled. The new Auto-Tapper upgrade taps the mine for you — and every rare or better manager you own now permanently amplifies reset rewards.

MANAGERS WITH PERSONALITY
Every manager radiates a passive Aura onto their mine. Pair the right specialists in one location and team Combos activate. Mine a little of everything to unlock ten Resource Duets.

CHOOSE YOUR PATH
The Cosmology research branch hides two forks where you must commit — the rejected path stays locked until your next reset. Complete paired research to reveal six hidden Synergies.

A WARMER WELCOME
New commanders get a guided tutorial and a free foreman. The Next Goal widget always shows your next step, and an optional session summary recaps what you earned.

POLISH EVERYWHERE
An animated starfield now glitters behind the forge (toggle it in Settings). Prestige erupts in a particle celebration, rare managers glow with their rarity, purchases feel satisfying — and the whole game now supports VoiceOver and Dynamic Type.

Plus: stability and performance improvements from our post-launch audit.

The galaxy awaits. Forge on, commander!
