The Web Client is Bconomy in your browser, at bconomy.net/play. It is the full game: nothing needs to be installed, and the same account works in the Mobile App and the Discord Activity.

Signing in

[edit | edit source]

Sign in with Discord, Google, or an email address. With email, the game sends a one-time code to your inbox instead of using a password. Your progress lives on your account, so you can switch between devices freely.

Keep your sign-in method secure. Never share your login details or your Data API key with someone offering to help with your account.

Getting around

[edit | edit source]
  • The menu opens every page you have unlocked. New features appear as your Rank rises; see Ranks and Ascension.
  • The chat panel holds Global chat, your Faction chat and the Console, where action results appear and text commands can be typed. See Commands and the Console.
  • The footer shows your profile switcher, online players and live activity.
  • Settings controls the theme, layout, hotkeys and where action feedback appears. See Settings Community and Support.

Hotkeys

[edit | edit source]

The Web Client supports custom keyboard shortcuts for pages, actions and text commands. Each press must be your own input: autoclickers, macros and scripts are not allowed. See Hotkeys.

October 24, 2026 The Achievements Update
  • Turning audio off now stops background music immediately.
October 10, 2026 Happy Halloween! (Seasonal Event)
  • Use the all-new seasonal Halloween theme this month, designed by our own Shady Bliss! Enjoy turning your UI into a haunted hellscape while it lasts.
October 8, 2026 v2026.10.08
  • During Halloween season, you can pick the dark purple & orange Halloween theme from the theme picker.

  • Notifications settings are now split into separate 👤 Personal Alerts and 🌐 Global Alerts switches
  • Each setting (Personal, Global, Action Info) now offers independent Console, Chat, and Popups destinations
  • Footer updates now remain visible for up to 90 seconds
October 5, 2026 v2026.10.05
  • Several gameplay features are now locked behind gates to introduce stronger rank-based progression and a better new player experience.

September 29, 2026 v2026.09.29
  • Game progress announcements from other users now appear temporarily in the footer.
  • A Footer Updates setting under Settings > Gameplay allows this to be disabled.
  • Another setting allows these announcements to be displayed in global chat (similar to old behavior) instead of displaying them in the footer.
September 18, 2026 v2026.09.18
  • If you enable reduced motion in your browser or OS, Bconomy animations are temporarily disabled but your saved Play Animations setting is not changed. Turning reduced motion off restores your saved animation preference automatically.
September 17, 2026 v2026.09.17
  • New interactive Welcome walkthrough appears for players! It guides you step-by-step through core game features like active income actions, menu navigation, quests, and chat.
  • Old video popups have been replaced by responsive in-game overlays.
September 13, 2026 v2026.09.13
  • Switching profiles now refreshes the notification panel so you only see that profile’s notifications.
  • Notification badge no longer shows while you’re actively playing, it only appears when you’ve been idle.
  • Unseen notifications are highlighted with a teal background so new items stand out.
  • Scrolling up in the notifications list to load older messages no longer makes the view jump.
August 10, 2026 v2026.08.10
  • Many settings now follow your account across devices and Discord Activity.
  • A new “Import browser settings” button (and a one-time banner) lets you copy settings that were only saved in this browser up to your account.
  • There’s a new switch to use a browser-specific theme on one device if you want it different from your profile theme.
August 3, 2026 v2026.08.03.2
  • Whole-number stat counters (for example the crops-ready bar) no longer flash decimal digits while animating when Compact numbers is enabled.
August 1, 2026 v2026.08.01.2
  • Classic generic progress tracks use the original game colour again.
  • Clicking a readability warning now opens the custom-theme colour picker and selects the affected colour.
August 1, 2026 v2026.08.01
  • You can choose between Bconomy Classic and Bconomy After Dark from Appearance; your choice follows your account across devices.
  • Active Supporters can create, name, and save two independent custom themes using clear colour roles and live in-game previews.
  • A new ‘Guide me’ walkthrough shows you the default themes, custom theme editing tools, previews, and save/reset actions; it adapts for non-Supporters so you see only what’s available to you.
July 9, 2026 v2026.07.09.2
  • Very old symbol-based hotkey bindings (from before the physical-key system) have been removed and will no longer work.
  • If your default hotkeys (like 1–4, G) disappear, open Hotkey Settings → ♻️ Restore default hotkeys to fill in unassigned defaults without changing hotkeys you’ve set elsewhere.
  • Tick “Replace overrides” to force defaults back onto their keys (this will unbind whatever was using them). Use “Reset all hotkeys” to wipe everything back to defaults.
July 9, 2026 v2026.07.09
  • After a long period of inactivity the game will ask you to reload instead of quietly reconnecting in the background.
July 7, 2026 v2026.07.07
  • Timers are shorter and rounded to a sensible unit by default (Compact Timers is on by default). You can switch between a single rounded unit (like “2h”) or two parts (“1h 30m”).
  • New “Max time part in tooltip” setting lets you choose whether long timers show years/months or only days in the hover detail.
  • Settings are split into three tabs (Gameplay, Appearance, Account) with collapsible groups instead of one long list.
  • There’s a search box at the top that filters settings as you type, dimming non-matches.
  • Nested options (audio, animations, inventory-max, market data, sidebar badges, etc.) are tucked behind a small chevron instead of always showing.
  • Notification popups can now be placed in any of the six positions (top/bottom × left/center/right); for mobile the horizontal position makes no difference as it’s full-width.
June 27, 2026 v2026.06.27 – Update 2
  • Section headers inside modals (and on some pages/sidebars) now have a chevron, click the heading to collapse or expand that section.
  • Your collapsed/expanded choices are remembered in your browser, separately per modal/page and per section.
June 27, 2026 v2026.06.27
  • New toggle in Settings → Interface that shortens big numbers (1.2M) instead of showing the full number (1,234,567) across the web client.
  • Hover any number to see the other format in a tooltip.
  • Market price/volume charts have their own Auto / On / Off compact-numbers override.
  • On mobile, leaderboard values stay compact (long-press shows the full number).
June 24, 2026 v2026.06.24.3
  • Modals now have back and forward buttons next to the close button, think browser history but for popups. If you opened an item’s detail from another modal, you can step back to where you came from instead of repeatedly closing and re-opening things.
June 24, 2026 v2026.06.24.2
  • What’s New now opens a scrollable list of recent release notes instead of only the latest one.
  • Posts you haven’t seen are badged New, and the newest unseen release opens automatically.
June 8, 2026 v2026.06.08.2
  • Numbers (BC, inventory counts, pet bars, etc.) no longer count up from zero every time you open a tab or reveal a panel – they only animate when the value actually changes.
  • New setting: Settings → Play Animations → Number animation smoothness with options Auto / 60 / 30 / 15 FPS so you can tune how smooth or light the number animations are.
June 8, 2026 v2026.06.08
  • Take an action on one tab or device and your other open tabs/devices update instantly: actions, inventory, balances, and relay accrual will no longer sit stale until you reconnect.
  • After leaderboard calculations (including relay, which handles auto-deposit), all changes (including Refinery committed basket) are reflected immediately.
June 5, 2026 v2026.06.05.2
  • You’ll find a new Sidebar Settings area split into Action Sidebar and Menu Sidebar.
  • Show, hide and reorder the sections on your action sidebar (Actions, Items, Buddies, Boss, Tools) using the new reorder modal. Make the sidebar look the way you want.
  • Action quest badges can now show percentage completion (toggle Show Percentage in settings) instead of a raw count.
  • New compact boss card for the sidebar: small HP bar, boss icon and a minimal co-attacker/weakpoint row so you can keep boss info visible without the full panel.
  • Menu tab badges are configurable – enable/disable badges per tab and (when allowed) make them clickable. A new Home nav badge shows a countdown to your next daily reward.
  • Settings now let you keep animations but disable confetti (Play Animations → Show Confetti), and split audio into separate Sound Effects and Music toggles so you can mute music while keeping SFX.
June 4, 2026 v2026.06.04
  • If you have the Bay Telemetry research, small badges now appear on the main nav entries for Pets, Farm, and Ball Pit.
  • Pets badge shows time until the soonest adventuring pet runs out of energy.
  • Farm badge shows watering status (countdown or “Ready”).
  • Ball Pit badge shows the current ball type at a glance.
May 25, 2026 v2026.05.25

Improvements

  • Modifier-aware hotkeys. (TheDepartedOne)
    • Hotkeys can now use modifier combos like Ctrl+Shift+B in addition to single-key binds.
    • Existing symbol-based hotkeys you already set continue to work without any changes at least until 2026-07-01. We suggest remapping the old keys if you used symbols, such as $/%/#, as the keybinds. If you never used them, nothing changes.

Bug Fixes

  • Confirmation dialog Enter key. (Shadox97)
    • Pressing Enter on a confirmation dialog now always confirms the action.
  • Confirmation rules not showing on first open. (TheDepartedOne)
    • Opening Manage Confirmations no longer incorrectly shows “No confirmation rules configured.”.
May 21, 2026 Relay Network (Game Update)
  • Command flags now save with hotkeys and recent commands. (TheDepartedOne)
    • Hotkeys and recent commands now preserve boolean command options such as recursive crafting, auto crafting, max-level upgrades, auto-upgrade purchases, and stop-on-incomplete pet leveling.
May 5, 2026 v2026.05.05
  • Short timers now show two parts for better clarity – e.g. 4h 30m, 2m 15s instead of a single unit. Longer times use months/years where appropriate.
  • Hover any of the updated timers (boss modal weakpoints/overkill, pet & farm boost remaining, home-page boosts) to see a tooltip with the full breakdown (like 1y 2mo 3d 4h 7m 12s) and the exact local end time.
April 23, 2026 v2026.04.23
  • If the Discord/Google/email you’re trying to link already belongs to another Bconomy account, the mismatch screen’s choices now work correctly. Picking to move the sign-in will actually transfer the login method instead of getting stuck, and the buttons now clearly say whether you’re keeping your current account or switching to the conflicting one.
April 20, 2026 v2026.04.20.2
  • Background scheduled tasks (ball pits, giveaways, bosses, etc.) have been made DST-safe so they won’t silently stop running after daylight-saving clock changes. This should prevent the kind of missed ticks that caused timed event outages before (leaderboard resets, same ballpit for a day, etc).
April 6, 2026 v2026.04.06
  • Confetti from ambient generators (like farm or generator effects) won’t fire while your browser tab is hidden.
  • When you return to the tab, hidden-tab particles won’t suddenly replay as a burst.
  • “Ghost particles” should no longer appear onscreen.
April 1, 2026 v2026.04.01
  • All building modals (generators, farm plots, tools, stables) now have three new toggles: Recursive, Craft automatically, and Craft to max level. You’ll see them when you open an upgrade or purchase modal.
  • Flip Recursive to make crafting use recipe trees (craft intermediates automatically). Turn it off to craft only the exact item you click.
  • Craft automatically lets the upgrade/purchase button attempt to craft missing components for you before buying/upgrading.
  • Craft to max level sums the materials for all remaining levels and will try to upgrade as many levels as possible in one click.
March 30, 2026 v2026.03.30
  • Game hotkeys won’t swallow common browser shortcuts anymore – things like Ctrl/Cmd+F (find) or other browser combos should work as expected while you’re in the client.
March 27, 2026 v2026.03.27
  • Updated game manual. (TheDepartedOne)
    • The prestige perks page now lists all perks in full, with expandable sections for each one. Ever wondered which Mercantilist level you need to sell your stack of floppy disks? Now you can see exactly that – item tier requirements are broken down per perk level.
    • New pages added: Ranks, Daily Rewards, and Giveaways.
    • All boost-related pages are now grouped under a dedicated Boosts section, including a new Mass Boosting page explaining the new bulk boost features above.
  • Granular confirmation management. (TheDepartedOne)
    • Confirmation rules are no longer all-or-nothing. You can now set per-item rules with amount thresholds – for example, “auto-confirm selling this item only when selling 10 or fewer.”
    • When a confirmation dialog appears, you can set the rule right there inline: choose All items or Only [this item], then pick an amount condition using <, <=, =, >=, or >.
    • Inputs like max and all work too – the server resolves the actual number and checks it against your threshold before deciding whether to prompt.
    • To manage all your rules at once, go to Settings -> Manage Confirmations. You can edit, remove, or reset everything there.
    • If you had any confirmations set previously, they will need to be manually converted in the Manage Confirmations dialog.
March 19, 2026 v2026.03.19.2
  • Gameplay commands no longer require solving hCaptcha mid-game
  • Removed the Discord captcha button and the “chat verify” toggle from the interface for a cleaner UI
