Stockpile update: Temple showcase
2025-04-07The upcoming Stockpile update contains several thousand changes, improvements, additions, and fixes to the game, engine, and servers of Gods and Idols. But that's not all – this update also brings exciting new gameplay mechanics, and today I am revealing: the Temple. The Temple The Temple is a powerful late-game building that harnesses the energy of your Population to create Miracles. Two key Miracles available in the Temple are Faithful Prayer and Scry. Faithful Prayer When the Faithful Prayer Miracle is active, it generates a new resource called Faith. Faith is used to create Accretions and Planets after your first one. As your system grows and more planets are added, the amount of Faith required to create additional Accretions increases. However, Faith has a high Decay rate, so multiple Temples working together will be required to maintain high Faith reserves.

Only unemployed Population can contribute to Faithful Prayer, and the amount of Faith generated is directly proportional to the number of unemployed Population available. Scry The Scry Miracle comes in three variants: Metal, Life, and Gas. Scrying in a Temple takes time and consumes both Faith and Shards. And upon completion will permanently increase the chosen Planet stat. Scrying can only increase a Planet stat to a maximum of 100. For those looking to go beyond this limit, you'll need to wait for , which will be introduced in the second planned update: Limbo. And why would you want to increase a Planet's stats? Well, that's because of a new mechanic – – which will be revealed in the third planned update: Logistics.
