Sell Ores July 2026 Patch Notes
Drone rebalance, Growth Gem buffs, Ore Speed cap.
The July 2026 patch was a smaller balance pass that touched three systems at once: the Drone automation loop, the Small Growth Gem drop rate and the Ore Speed Level cap. The patch also introduced the RELEASE and EXPANSION codes that are still working at the time of writing. This page walks through every change in the July patch.
Drone slot rebalance
The July patch rebalanced the Drone automation loop on Floors 3 and 5:
- Drone 1 (Floor 3): Roll interval reduced from 10 minutes to 5 minutes.
- Drone 2 (Floor 5): Roll interval reduced from 15 minutes to 10 minutes.
The change roughly doubled passive Cash income for mid-game players who had both Drones unlocked. The Money Making guide was updated to reflect the new Drone output.
Small Growth Gem drop rate buff
The Small Growth Gem drop rate from Diary Rewards was doubled — from a 10% chance per day to a 20% chance per day. The weekly Devil’s Growth Gem drop rate was unchanged.
The buff means a player who claims Diary Rewards every day for a week now earns an average of 1.4 Small Growth Gems, up from 0.7. The change unlocks Pet fusion chains roughly a week earlier than before. The Best Pets page was updated to reflect the faster unlock.
Ore Speed Level 10 cap
The Ore Speed upgrade gained a new Level 10 cap. Levels 6–10 grant progressively smaller bonuses than Levels 1–5, but the cap exists so that late-game players have a long-term Cash sink. The current cap:
- Level 5 → Level 6: +8% processing speed.
- Level 6 → Level 7: +6% processing speed.
- Level 7 → Level 8: +5% processing speed.
- Level 8 → Level 9: +4% processing speed.
- Level 9 → Level 10: +3% processing speed.
The total processing bonus from a Level 10 Ore Speed upgrade is roughly 2.6x the Level 1 baseline. The Walkthrough guide was updated with the new cap.
Code drops
The July patch introduced two codes that are still working at the time of writing:
- RELEASE — 500 Cash for new accounts that need a small starter boost.
- EXPANSION — 1 Small Growth Gem to extend a base.
The full list of active codes lives on the Active Codes page.
Other changes
- The Roll machine on Floor 1 now displays a “recommended band” hint for new accounts.
- The Pets menu gained a “fusion preview” panel that shows the output Pet rarity before you commit Cash.
- A handful of UI polish bugs were fixed, including the gear menu occasionally failing to open on mobile.

Frequently Asked Questions
Quick answers to the most common questions.
What was the biggest change in the July 2026 patch?
The Drone automation loop was rebalanced so Drones roll twice as often. The change roughly doubled passive Cash income for mid-game players.
Were any codes retired in the July 2026 patch?
No. The two codes added in the July patch (RELEASE and EXPANSION) are still working at the time of writing.
How long does Ore Speed Level 10 take to max?
Roughly two to three weeks of dedicated play for a mid-game player. The Levels 6–10 cap is a long-term Cash sink rather than an early-game priority.
Did scripts break after the July 2026 patch?
Most scripts survived the July patch because it did not change Roll or fusion behaviour. The August patch was the one that broke most scripts.
