What's New in Primordia Lab

1.1.2

October 1, 2026

New - Letters: type a word and stamp it onto the field in any material you own. Choose whether the letters hold their shape or fall. Earned at 60 goals. - Identify, Vacuum and Letters now sit in Recents. Long-press any of them for its settings. - Long-press an Object in Recents to change its size. - Element cards show real photos of 96 elements. Elements no one has ever seen show the tracks their atoms leave in a detector. - 21 inventions, like the Wheel and the Steam Engine, are made by putting a sapient next to the right material. - Ollie's messages are kept in the Journal under Notebook, System, so you can read one again. - New sounds: electrical parts hum, glass tinkles, acid fizzes, plants rustle, bats chirp and insects buzz. Rewards, research, builds and expeditions each have their own sound. Changed - iPhone and Android players now share one leaderboard. Friends, events and Peer Review codes work between them too. - Hours played are kept in your save, add up across your devices and survive a reinstall. - Unlocked hints are saved and sync between your devices. - Every goal hint was checked. Hints name exactly what you need, and circuit hints say step by step what to build. - Batteries touching end to end add their voltage. A short circuit makes the wire glow and shows a notice. - Motors and electromagnets count as loads, and wires joined corner to corner carry current. - Fossils in the Journal is now Animals, and shows only the animal cards you have found. - Planet points are labelled as yours or everyone's. - Ad skips in the lab are capped at a third of the wait. Fixed - Reinstalling the game can no longer replace your progress with an older save. - A battery's + and − marks are on the right ends, and a flipped battery stays flipped in an Object. - A working circuit no longer sets nearby things on fire. - The second round of trivia can no longer be played without its ad. - On iPad in landscape, the keyboard no longer covers the palette search, and tapping the field closes it. - The Welcome back amounts no longer run into their labels. - Blueprint parts wrap instead of shrinking, and the list updates as soon as a build finishes. - Glow effects show on the Low graphics setting. - Names are corrected in Korean, Indonesian, Thai, Vietnamese, Russian and Polish.
