Launch Notes

Stream On opened Bomb Farm on Steam on Friday, 28 August 2026, at 19:00 Brasília time. The store had already hosted a beta with wiped accounts so launch would be a fresh start. This page is the first-week field guide: what shipped, which badges exist, and what not to panic about.

For the loop itself, Getting Started is still the better first click.

What shipped

A free-to-play Godot idle RPG with a pinned overlay, eight tabs, five Map worlds, five difficulty stars, Ritual forging from +0 toward +15, an account skill tree, House capsules, and a Steam Community Market tab. Languages on the store: English, Portuguese (Brazil), Spanish, Simplified Chinese. This wiki covers the first three.

Steam categories: single-player, achievements, in-app purchases, Steam Cloud, Family Sharing, mouse-only, keyboard-only, play at your own pace, save anytime, playable without timed input, custom volume. A BombFarm account can link to Steam. Broadband is required.

Official promises that matter on day one: no loot boxes, they do not sell power, rares can list on Steam Market, three teams keep the mine running, 20 hero abilities at ranks 1–10, four roles.

Achievements as design notes

Twenty-one achievements shipped. Highlighted names teach the Map:

  • Easy Cleared, Normal Cleared, Hard Cleared, Very Hard Cleared, Inferno Cleared — the five stars are not flavor.
  • Beat the Clock — a timed badge beside a game that is otherwise untimed.
  • Full Ritual — Ritual is a pillar, not a side room.
  • Relic, Myth, Living Legend, Ceiling — collection and prestige language that matches House rarity bars.

Play for Easy Cleared first. Inferno Cleared is a poster, not a tutorial.

First-week advice that is not a patch note

Pin the overlay. Link the account. Run Easy in Dawn Quarry. Build two docks before you fuse. Identify sealed drops before you list them. Read Market before you invent a second account. Stream On already talked about multi-account abuse.

If crystals or a monthly pack appear in the shop, remember the official power policy and the launch reviews that called the pack expensive. Ignoring the shop is a valid way to play a F2P idle game. The review says the same with more sentences.

Known launch feelings (not bugs by default)

  • Gold already prints with many digits. That is not wealth. Roles are wealth.
  • Deep Glacier is locked on store screenshots. That is the Map working.
  • Portuguese UI on some clients is expected; pick English in settings if you want it.
  • Overlay over a wallpaper is the product, not a missing fullscreen mode. Controls.
  • A Rare on day one will not finish Crystal Abyss. Beta testers already proved that.

Where launch will move

Mailbox drops, extra characters from Discord votes, UI polish, Market policy. Those belong on this hub as they happen. They do not belong in your head as reasons to wait forever. The mine is already open.

On 28 August 2026 Steam news posted THE MARKETPLACE IS OPENING FOR EVERYONE. Update the client. Access is temporary and will return to the previous phase. The patch card is Marketplace Open; listing rules stay on Steam Market.

Steam all-time reviews sat Very Positive, 93% of 90, in the first days. That is a weather report, not a career. Mixed notes live on the review.

If a hotfix changes energy, House, or fees, we will say so here and then patch the energy and Market guides. Until then, play the conveyor.

Family Sharing is on. Two people can take turns on one Steam library. They still need honest BombFarm accounts. Sharing a library is not cloning a farm.

Welcome to launch week. Leave Easy running. Come back at dinner. That is the design.
