Idle AI Factory Free Rewards: Chests, Daily Bonus, Quests and Drones

Every free reward in Idle AI Factory: Robot Tycoon and how to collect all of them: the free chest every 4 hours, chests from level-ups and the money drone, the 7-day login bonus, daily quests, boosters and Weekend Rush, and an honest list of what the shop sells.

Idle AI Factory: Robot Tycoon gives a lot away for free: a Basic Chest every 4 hours, a chest at every fifth factory level and a Rare one at every tenth, a 7-day login bonus with chests on days 3 and 7, three daily quests with a chest for finishing all of them, and a money drone that drops a chest one time in five. On Saturdays and Sundays, Weekend Rush doubles the coins from the login bonus, the quests and the drone. Chests are never sold for money.

We make Idle AI Factory, so every number in this guide comes from the game's code.

Free chests and where they come from

SourceChestHow often
Free chestBasicEvery 4 hours

Money droneBasic1 catch in 5
Login bonusBasic on day 3, Rare on day 7Every week

Weekend event trackBasic, Rare and EpicEvery weekend

Chests hold super robot cards and AI Cores: 2 to 4 cores in a Basic Chest, 5 to 10 in a Rare and 15 to 25 in an Epic. Our super robots guide has the full odds and what each robot does. Chests wait in your inventory, so you can open them whenever you like.

The 7-day login bonus

DayCoinsExtra
110% of your current level's coins
215%
320%Basic Chest
430%
540%
650%
780%Rare Chest

The coins are a share of what your factory needs for its current level, so the bonus stays useful at any stage. A short optional video doubles the day's coins, and Weekend Rush doubles them again on Saturdays and Sundays.

Two timing rules: a new day can be claimed 18 hours after the last one, and if more than 48 hours pass, the streak starts again at day 1. Once a day, at any time that suits you, keeps the full streak. Our guide to daily rewards explains why games use streaks like this.

Daily quests

Three quests a day, new each day at midnight UTC, picked from these five:

QuestReward
Hire 5 robots15% of your current level's coins
Earn the coins of one level20%
Activate 3 boosters20%
Catch 2 reward drones25%
Watch 2 reward videos30%

Finish all three and you also get a Basic Chest. Weekend Rush doubles the quest coins.

The money drone

Now and then a drone flies over your factory. Catch it for 10% of your current level's coins, or watch a short video to triple that. Drone Magnet research (+25% per level) and Penny (+10% to +30%) make it pay more, Weekend Rush doubles it, and every catch has a 20% chance to drop a Basic Chest.

Boosters and level-up bonuses

  • Boosters double your factory's profit for 2 minutes, and some also run the whole factory at double speed. You start one with a short optional video. Overclock+ research (+15% per level), Turbo and Neon Idol make them last longer.
  • The level-up bonus offers free coins at every factory level-up, and a video triples it. Promotion Deal research, Midas and Goldie make it bigger.

Weekend Rush and weekend events

Every Saturday and Sunday, Weekend Rush doubles the coins from the login bonus, daily quests and the money drone. From Friday to Sunday the weekend event runs too, with 50 AI Cores, three chests and a legendary robot on its track; our weekend events guide shows how to finish it.

What the shop sells

Everything above is free. The shop sells no chests, and the paid items are these:

  • Starter Pack (one time, offered in your first session): one hour of your factory's production at once and no ads for 24 hours.
  • Permanent Boosters bundle (one time): double income and double offline earnings for good, +20% robot speed in the shop's list, boosters without videos, a doubled login bonus and no full-screen ads.
  • VIP Pass (one time): opens the third crew slot and a VIP reward track. VIP XP comes from playing: 1 per robot hired, 3 per booster, 4 per drone, 2 per reward video and 5 per star. The five tiers, at 15, 40, 90, 180 and 350 XP, pay coins, 185 AI Cores in total and Atlas Prime at the top.
  • Coin packs: 10 minutes or 1 hour of production.

The game also shows full-screen ads: at most about once every three minutes, when you close a window, starting at factory level 3. The Permanent Boosters bundle turns them off. Our guide to rewarded and interstitial ads explains the difference between those and the optional videos.

  1. Open the free chest whenever it is ready, every 4 hours.
  2. Claim the login bonus once a day; never let 48 hours pass.
  3. Finish all three daily quests for the extra chest.
  4. Catch every money drone you see.
  5. Start a booster when you play actively.
  6. On weekends, play the event and enjoy double rewards from Weekend Rush.
