Current Grade: C- (Functional, but stressful).
Idle Dice is a great incremental game, but the save system hasn't aged well. We don't need fancy graphics or new dice types. We need to feel safe that our progress won't vanish because our thumb slipped while pasting.
Devs, if you’re listening: Please just add QR code exports and a checksum. That’s it. You don't need servers or logins. Just let me scan my screen with my other phone so I can roll dice on my tablet while pretending to work on my laptop.
What about you? Have you lost a save because of a bad import? What’s your horror story? And does anyone actually prefer the wall of text? idle dice import save codes better
TL;DR: Current save codes are fragile text walls. Better means: QR code transfer + checksum validation + no ambiguous characters. Cloud saves optional, reliability mandatory.
When we say we want better save codes, we aren't just asking for shorter text. We want reliability and usability. Here is the wishlist:
Yes, but with a major catch. The mobile version of Idle Dice (available on app stores) does not have a native import/export feature in the same way as the browser version. Mobile uses local storage. Current Grade: C- (Functional, but stressful)
The workaround: You cannot import desktop saves to mobile directly. However, you can use the browser version on your phone (Chrome/Safari) by navigating to the game’s Itch.io or GitHub Pages link. Then, follow the desktop import steps. It’s clunky, but it works.
For native mobile, you’re better off using the Idle Dice Cloud Sync (if enabled) or simply starting fresh—the mobile version has different balancing.
Before we dive into "better" strategies, let’s cover the basics. Idle Dice (developed by Randomnine, also known for Idle Breakout) uses a browser-based save system. Unlike cloud saves, the game relies on a long string of encoded text—your save code. TL;DR: Current save codes are fragile text walls
The genius (and danger) of this system is that anyone can share their code. That means you can instantly load a game with quadrillions of coins, complete card sets, or high-tier dice.
The interface is usually located in the Settings menu (the gear icon).
