- This week's Epic Games freebie blends Factorio's automation with high fantasy exploration - 30 April 2026
Sometimes you just want to build things. Whether it's your own burgeoning metropolis in Cities Skylines, or conveyor belts and factories in Factorio, some of my best days at the PC have been spent crafting huge automation systems that I, quite franky, am too stupid and too monetarily challenged to build in real life. This week's free Epic Games Store game , Oddsparks: An Automation Adventure, allows you to do just that, but throws in some fantasy exploration that's reminiscent of games like Stardew Valley . As someone who loves a sprinkling of fantasy, it's an immediate download.

- Theme Parks for Sparks! - 11 December 2025
Thrill-Seekers, Theme Park Fans and Carnival Lovers, it's finally possible to turn your workshops into rollercoasters with the Coaster Rush DLC! The DLC offers: Stunt TracksYou can now build loops, corkscrews, banked turns, photo tracks and jumps to create a true rollercoaster experience. Coaster Locomotive and Coaster WagonThe Coaster Locomotive isn't just looking different, it also works a bit differently: It runs without fuel! It is slower on plane or ascending tracks, but faster on descends. So while you can use them cheaper than regular trains, they might not be the fastest option. Festive DecorationTo decorate your new rollercoasters, there is a new decoration set with fences, pillars, arches as well as Spark Showcases (a carousel and a wheel), a snack stand and a balloon stand that hands out balloons to your Sparks. FireworksTrigger the new Fireworks Cannons with logic to light u…
- Oddsparks Patch Notes 1.0.S31386 - 18 November 2025
Floors can now be constructed with resources from Supply Chests. Fixed the Copy Tool not showing the supply from Supply Chests. Fixed the Copy Tool ignoring Supply Chests for paint on buildings and items inside Pedestals, Pillows, Wireless Receivers/Senders, Musical Speakers and path add-ons. Fixed a crash that occured when switching quickly between Copy Tool and Build Menu. Opening and closing the Build Menu while the Copy Tool is active doesn't break the Copy Tool UI anymore. Fixed a desync that happened when the Spark Hats tutorial appeared in multiplayer.

- Hats for your Sparks! - 25 September 2025
What's better than a handcrafted hat? Hundreds of handcrafted hats! Spark hats are not just looking great, they are also a great alternative way to organize your Spark traffic. They are compatible with Spark Filters, so you can reuse paths and send your Sparks different ways based on their hats. While the Tailor already sells two hats for this purpose, you can now automate their production and distribution with the new Hats & Helmets DLC: The DLC offers:10 new hatsLoom recipes for all hats2 new workstations to equip and unequip hatsNew Tier 4 Woodsman-Quest "Spark Clothing" to unlock the recipes and workstations We've also made some general changes to the game (no DLC required): Sparks with hats can be used in productions again.Sparks with hats can now also be used in quest goals that require Sparks without hats (but they will be ignored by the transfer quest items button).Scouty Sparks…
- Oddspark Patch Notes v1.0.S31287 - 25 September 2025
Sparks with hats can be used in productions again. Sparks with hats can now also be used in quest goals that require Sparks without hats (but they will be ignored by the Transfer Quest Items button). Scouty Sparks with hats can now be used to construct sensors. The hats will be lost in the cases the hatted Sparks are used as normal Sparks (productions, quests, construction). When a Spark with a hat enters your inventory (picking up the disc or returning with now available Spark slots), the hat will now be shown in the icon appearing on top of the player character. Fixed an issue where you could interact with or even accidentally delete an (invisible) train that was actually supposed to be outside your screen.
- Patch v1.0.31271 and Elemental Decorations - 28 August 2025
Today’s patch fixes several issues and adds a new decoration DLC. Bugfixes: In rare cases where the boss cave is separated in two parts, enemies are now able to jump between them. Fixed Cannons shooting one additional item when the stack at the target position is already full, potentially still slowly creating infinite stacks of items. Fixed respawning harvestable objects not taking terraforming into account. Fixed multiple music tracks playing at the same time in multiplayer sessions. Fixed train sounds being played without a train being close. Fixed an issue where Sparks shot from Spark Cannons wouldn’t return through walls. Ladders, Wait Gates, Spark Gates, Pressure Sensors, Metronomes and Musical Pressure Plates can now be cleaned from corruption. Fixed an issue where refilling Spark loadouts could delete Sparks depending on if they were wearing a hat. Fixed an issue where Hauling S…

Music is in the Aether…There is one optional but cool feature we’ve always wanted to see in the game: Using automation and logic to make music with your Sparks.

Here’s a quick overview:You can build notes and octave markers in the new Musical Workstation.You can build 4 different toy instruments in the Sawbench.Musical Pressure Plates can contain instruments (or any item), a note, and an octave marker to play back a specific tone.Metronomes slightly slow down your Sparks to keep them in perfect sync with the music.Musical Speakers can be triggered by lo…
- Oddsparks Patch Notes (v1.0.S31086) - 24 July 2025
Added the new Making Music DLC. Added 2 Spark hats that can be purchased from the Tailor. You can now put hats on Sparks or remove them at the tent next to the Tailor. Sparks with different hats can be filtered with Spark Filters. Fixed an issue that would prevent items from stacking reliably in your inventory. Fixed achievement progress not being saved for clients in multiplayer. Fixed the fuel rate in the notebook not being displayed correctly in languages other than English. Fixed the scroll areas in the build menu being too small. Fixed heavy lagging for some Spark Thrower setups.
- Oddsparks Patch Notes (v1.0.S30972) - 4 July 2025
Fixed Cannon creating endless stacks of items. This fix doesn't remove stacks of items that have already piled up from the previously broken Cannon. You might want to remove them manually! Fixed Spark Thrower/Spark Cannon despawning all Sparks as soon as one Spark dies. Fixed Arty Sparks losing paint and Puffy Sparks losing gas when any Spark is added or removed (by equipping/unequipping other Sparks or throwing them on paths). Fixed slimes sometimes being invisible. Fixed duplicates of trains and wagons being displayed at the center of the map in the mountains. Fixed Logic Ribbon being available in the build menu before you unlock it.

- Oddsparks Patch Notes (v1.0.S30876) and Modkit Update - 26 June 2025
After two hotfixes close after release, we now have another patch with some changes:We have updated the modkit. Some existing mods might have to be rebuilt to be compatible with the new patch. If you are currently using the More Colours or the Ribbon Ops mods, you can switch to the new “previous_stable” beta branch for now until the mods are updated. This public beta branch contains the last build that was still compatible with the older mods and we’ll update it whenever a new update should break any existing mods.The last village construction site sometimes couldn’t be finished because of a stuck Spark. This situation should not be possible going forward, but if you already have a stuck Spark there, you will have to use a Puffy Spark and destroy them with miasma gas to progress!Steam achievements that didn’t unlock correctly should now unlock. We check now at the start of the game to m…

- Oddsparks Enters 1.0! - 27 May 2025
Friends and Soon-to-be-Friends, 🎉 Oddsparks 1.0 is now out on PC, PS5 and Xbox Series! 🎉 So, of course, it’s time to talk about all of the changes that we’ve made from Hot & Cold update to our new 1.0. There is one important thing in case you haven’t read anything - You cannot continue your existing save. We’ve deliberately broken savegame compatibility to finally take care of some longstanding world generation issues that we really wanted to fix. However, we have an “earlyaccess” beta branch, where you’ll still be able to play your old saves on the last early access version. If you’ve never accessed a beta branch, you just right click on Oddsparks in Steam, select Properties and go to the Betas section in the new window. Alright, our list is quite long, so get comfy! New Biome: Corrupted Ruins We now have our final biome, the Corrupted Ruins and the final tier 10 quests! In this gloo…
