What are the AFK Server and Auto Delete?
They are two of the three systems Update 3 shipped on October 3, 2026 — the third is the per-unit Skill Tree, which has its own page because it arrived with published currency rules. The official Roblox experience does not publish patch notes on the web, so everything known about both systems comes from one dated report of the patch notes posted in the game’s Discord on October 3, covered publicly on October 4, and the Update 3 overview preserves that sourcing in full.
| System | What the report says it does | What remains unreported |
|---|---|---|
| AFK Server | Passive progression while idle | Reward rates, daily caps, entry conditions |
| Auto Delete | Clears unwanted units while farming | Targeting rules, per-rarity opt-in, safeguards |
| Skill Tree (for contrast) | Per-unit upgrades fed by Skill Crystals | Node layouts and costs |
How the AFK Server fits the daily loop
The AFK Server is an idle lane, and the site’s current guidance for it is conservative: pair it with the daily quest loop so offline time only tops up what active play already funds. The reason is the currency economy — quests, daily rewards and ranked wins feed Skill Crystals, the currency behind the Skill Tree, and no AFK reward rate has been reported that would justify going idle-first. The Gems side of the same loop is funded by the active codes, whose payouts dwarf anything an unverified idle lane could promise. Until rates and caps surface, treat the AFK Server as a supplement to the daily loop, not a replacement for it.
How Auto Delete interacts with duplicates and Ascension
Auto Delete’s reported job is clearing unwanted units while you farm, and that makes it adjacent to two systems with real stakes. Duplicates feed Ascension — the parallel lane recorded on the evolution guide, where two copies of the same troop combine per level up to Ascension 3 — and a deleted duplicate is a level you cannot buy back. A pre-Update 3 report preserved on the unit acquisition overview also mentioned deleting unwanted duplicates for a small Gem refund, but no amount was published and its relationship to Auto Delete was never explained.
Independent community guidance converges on the same caution from the ascension side: the beginner guide on ProGameGuides and a dedicated ascension guide both tell players to hold duplicates until a unit reaches Ascension 3 before deleting anything. Until Auto Delete’s targeting rules are documented (which units it clears, whether opt-in per rarity exists), the safe reading is that it manages trash pulls, not your ascension materials — and the safe behavior is checking your roster before long farm sessions rather than trusting that assumption.
What is still unknown about both systems
Nothing official has surfaced beyond the systems’ names and one-line purposes. The open questions, in the order they matter: what the AFK Server pays and whether it caps daily; how you enter it; which units Auto Delete targets and whether the player opts in per rarity; and how it treats duplicates you might want for ascension.
Two status notes as of the October 24, 2026 check. First, the game has been patched since Update 3 — Roblox’s own game API lists the experience as updated on October 23, 2026 — but no published source ties any post-Update-3 patch to either system, so there is no evidence the tables above have changed. Second, the community record has grown without getting more concrete: a fan-site Auto Delete field guide published October 13, 2026 is explicitly a decision checklist, stating it is “not a description of available filter toggles” and that its authors did not measure the live interface. When a second independent record or an official note lands, this page rewrites around it — until then it deliberately says less than the systems’ names promise.
