## What is Layer Tycoon?

From one 3D printer in your bedroom to a glowing print farm full of machines: Layer Tycoon is a cozy idle tycoon game about running a real 3D printing business.

It's midnight. Your first Benchy turns into spaghetti, the second one comes out perfect, and your very first order arrives. Print it, pack it, hand it to the courier… and keep growing.

A REAL SLICER
Every order wants something different. Set print speed, layer height, walls and infill, and turn supports on for overhangs. Print too fast and spaghetti becomes likely, fine layers take time, strong parts eat filament. A prototype, a figurine and an engineering part each need their own settings.

FROM BEDROOM TO GLOBAL HQ
Seven places to grow: Bedroom, Garage, Workshop, Maker Studio, Print Farm, Metal Lab and Global HQ. Every move unlocks new machines, materials and bigger customers.

UNLOCK NEW PRINTERS
Fast CoreXY, multicolour, resin, industrial FDM and metal SLM printers. Print in PLA, silk PLA, PETG, TPU and resin. Add a filament dryer, a wash & cure station and an AI spaghetti camera.

HIRE A CREW
Apprentices collect prints, packers box them, a shipping clerk calls the courier, operators run the printers and technicians clear the spaghetti. Go from doing everything yourself to managing a busy print factory.

IDLE & OFFLINE EARNINGS
With a team, your print shop keeps producing while you're away. Come back and collect what you earned.

QUIRKY CUSTOMERS
Emma the cosplayer, Jake from the corner café, Dr. Patel the dentist, Old Joe who prototypes everything… Regulars leave reviews and return with big orders when they're happy. Sign company contracts, hit daily goals and race against rush orders.

THE REAL DRAMA OF 3D PRINTING
Greasy beds, filament that soaks up moisture on rainy days, failed prints, washing and UV-curing resin, and the sweet satisfaction of a perfect first layer.

MAKE IT YOURS
Name your shop, create your maker and pick your style.

• Free to play. An ad now and then after shopping; the Ad-free Office removes them. Rewarded ads for Turbo or doubled earnings are always optional.
• Play offline, no account needed.
• English, Turkish, German, Spanish, Portuguese, French, Italian, Japanese and Korean.

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 1.1.3 — 2026-10-29

A result and a decision every time you drop in: shifts, commissions and a daily streak!

• Shifts: as you leave, pick when you'll be back (2, 4 or 8 hours). The team keeps working and reorders supplies on its own.
• Commissions: picky customers bring jobs only you can print. Nail the settings and your chapter moves much faster. They also arrive while you're away, and you see the result when you return.
• Report card: every finished print tells you how well it hit the brief.
• Daily streak: drop by each day for growing rewards, with a chest on day 7.
• Weekly fair: earn medals with themed jobs; gold wins a new printer skin.
• Your skin collection now adds to your sales.
• More readable interface: bigger text, tidier buttons and a roomier iPad layout.

### 1.1.2 — 2026-10-27

Smoother big factories, livelier reviews and a sharper crew!

• Much smoother late game: a busy workshop now draws less than half as many objects per frame, so 30+ printers and a full crew run better on phones and tablets.
• Faster packing in later places: the Packer works through the shelf in batches and gets quicker with every move.
• Reviews feel real: now and then a picky customer gives a perfect part four stars, so your rating moves instead of sitting at 5.0.
• New hires get names in your language, and a big crew no longer ends up with numbered names.
• Storage fix: a rented module can only be handed back once your stock fits without it.
• Fewer interruptions: rating requests, offers and ads keep a few minutes apart, and new players get their first half hour without full-screen ads.
• Faster start-up.

### 1.1.1 — 2026-10-25

Your 3D print farm runs like a real factory now!

• Auto-eject kit: printers drop finished prints into a bin and start the next job on their own; an apprentice empties the bin in one trip.
• New shipping line in the Print Farm and Metal Lab: packed boxes ride a conveyor belt, a robot arm stacks them on a pallet and the forklift loads the truck.
• Smarter crew: your first print operator runs the job queue from the computer, every extra operator looks after a row of 3D printers on the floor and starts them by hand.
• Late-game goals: a packing line that makes the box machine 3x faster, and a five-stage rocket-body megaproject that raises the value of every sale.
• World events show what is at stake in gold: the trade fair, the storm's expected and worst-case loss, viral and emergency orders.
• Cleaner interface: no coins or pop-ups over open menus, haptics pause during ads, big numbers (billions) fit, tidier labels when you zoom.
• Smoother big factories: smaller save files and fewer hitches with 30+ printers.

### 1.1.0 — 2026-10-24

New in Layer Tycoon: every print is now a decision!

• Slicer: stand a part up or lay it flat, print vases in spiral mode, and split big batches across build plates.
• Events ask you to choose: a viral bulk order, a storm (pause or risk a power cut), a rival's price cut, a regular's emergency call and more.
• Every chapter brings a new kind of work, all the way to measuring titanium parts before they ship.
• Regulars remember: a weak part comes back for a reprint, and they tell you what fell short.
• Decide what your workshop stands for: craftsmanship, or quick and affordable.
• Tap a printer to see its current layer, hear your printers play together, and earn six new mastery achievements.

### 1.0.2 — 2026-10-22

New in Layer Tycoon: a busier, smoother print farm!

• Tap the floor and Deniz walks right there.
• Branches: your level never drops, and you can visit your earlier shops as you left them.
• A robot arm and a forklift now run a real shipping line, and the crew keeps a polite distance.
• New loading screen, cleaner portrait and landscape layouts, and no more flickering surfaces.
• Tell us what you think: Settings → Feedback sends a bug report or an idea straight to us.
