Save File Related Issues and Solutions

• Save files between the full version and the demo are not compatible. Please do not copy demo save files into the full version's save directory, as this will cause serious errors during gameplay.

• The full version includes a built-in feature to import demo save data. To do this, go to Settings > Functions > Load Demo Save File in-game. This will carry over your currency from the demo. If you had unlocked and purchased the Spiky Isopod in the demo, you will also receive an exclusive landscaping item. Note: The import feature can only be used once. If triggered by mistake, you will need to reset your save file to re-import.

• If you experience missing or corrupted saves, you can restore them using the local auto-backup feature. For detailed instructions, please refer to the relevant Steam announcement.

If you encounter any other save-related issues, feel free to join our official Discord community.

About the Game

Hello everyone! We're a small indie team of three from China, and we're obsessed with bugs. But as digital nomads, we can't keep real insects long-term—so we turned our screens into virtual terrariums!

That's how Bugtopia was born: a cozy idler where you can raise, breed, and collect bugs without any real-life limits.

We hope it brings you the same joy we felt from petting bugs!

Bugtopia is a unique idler featuring not just one, but over 300 lovingly crafted bug species - all based on real-life counterparts! From bioluminescent wonders to chirpy little critters, we've given each insect an adorable artistic makeover while preserving their real-world charm.

The game introduces a special breeding/mating system - simply place two bugs in the breeding box and wait patiently for exciting new (and sometimes rare!) species to emerge.

With deep respect for nature, we've included some endangered and even extinct insects, built encyclopedia entries for every species. We hope players will grow to appreciate these tiny lives through our game.

To let your bugs live in a cozy, comfortable and personalized terrarium environment, we've created a highly free DIY landscaping system.

20+ Terrarium types, 70+ water & soil and wallpaper options, 300+ landscaping items, 700+ evolving states that gradually unlock through idle gameplay. With countless combination possibilities, you can create ever-changing terrarium landscapes tailored to your preferences!

The terrarium features 5 time periods and 4 weather conditions. From dawn to night, from sunny days to drizzles and misty weather, your terrarium is full of vitality and changes. Additional features include desktop wallpaper mode and pomodoro timer. Other little functions and easter eggs are coming up for perfect companions, for both work and leisure time.

Place a little piece of nature on your desktop - watch foxtails grow lush, moss cover stones, dotted with cute bugs and their soothing chirps. We hope Bugtopia can bring a moment of relaxation to your busy days, letting you enjoy some peaceful and beautiful moments.
