Print Farm: Our New Browser Game Is Live (Alpha)
We just shipped the first playable version of Print Farm — a browser idle game built right into 1c3d.com. Buy printers, load material, run print jobs, collect finished prints, and build the whole thing out into an actual farm over time.
What you can do right now
- Buy and upgrade printers across different tiers and archetypes
- Load material spools and manage account-wide storage
- Run print jobs and collect finished prints, sorted by rarity
- Complete tutorial, daily, and weekly missions for rewards
- Sell prints and printers straight to the System for an instant, discounted payout, or list them on the Marketplace for other players to buy
- Jump in instantly as a guest — no account required to start playing, though registering keeps your progress safe and unlocks the Marketplace
Where the in-game currency is headed
Right now the currency you earn in Print Farm stays inside the game — buying printers, parts, and materials. But we're planning to tie it back into the site itself: things like custom titles, profile flair, and other cosmetic or site-side perks you could unlock or buy with what you've earned from playing.
The idea is to eventually let currency flow both ways — earning some from real site activity (forum posts, pastes) as well as from the game — but kept as its own separate track from trust levels and reputation, not a replacement for either. None of this is built yet; it's a planned direction, not a promise of exact features or timing.
It's alpha — here's what that means
Print Farm is playable today, but it's genuinely early. We're actively working through bugs, rough edges, and missing features as we find them. Expect things to shift under your feet a bit: balance numbers, UI layout, and mechanics are all still being tuned, and we may add, remove, or rework systems as the game develops.
This is very much a work in progress, and feedback genuinely helps shape where it goes. If something looks broken, unbalanced, or just doesn't make sense — or if you have ideas for what currency should unlock — let us know on the forum.
What's coming
This is the foundation, not the finished game. More printer models, parts, missions, marketplace features, and the site-currency tie-in above are all on the table, and we'll keep posting updates here as things change.
