Walk over the accumulated ores in the basin to pick them up into your inventory.

3

Deposit Ore

4

Core Gameplay Loop

Understanding the loop is the key to efficient progression.

1

Mine

Your pickaxes work automatically, breaking ores and dropping them into the collection basin.

2

Collect & Deposit

Pick up ores manually (or with Auto Loot gamepass) and deposit them at your furnace.

3

Process & Sell

The furnace converts ores to Money. Upgrade processing speed to increase income per second.

4

Upgrade & Merge

Spend Money on new pickaxes and merge them. Higher tiers mine rarer, more valuable ores.

5

Expand Tower

Each merged pickaxe adds to your vertical mining tower, creating a visual record of progress.

Ore Multiplier Strategy

The global Ore Multiplier is one of the most important mechanics for maximizing income.

What Is the Ore Multiplier?

A global multiplier displayed behind the anvil at your base. It affects the sale value of all ores you deposit and changes every 30 seconds.

Peak Value: 1.5x

The highest confirmed multiplier is 1.5x. Always wait for this peak before depositing large batches of ores.

Optimal Strategy

  • Watch the multiplier display behind your base anvil
  • Hold ores in inventory when multiplier is below 1.5x
  • Deposit only when the multiplier hits 1.5x for maximum profit
  • In mid-to-late game, timing deposits becomes your biggest free income boost
  • Community tools filter at 1.2x, 1.3x, or 1.4x if you cannot wait for peak

Early Game Tip

Do not obsess over multiplier timing at the very start. Focus on buying pickaxes first; multiplier optimization matters more once you are processing large ore volumes.

Pickaxe Merge System

Merging is the heart of progression. Three identical pickaxes combine into one higher-tier tool.

Merge Rule

3 pickaxes of the same tier = 1 pickaxe of the next tier. Example: 3 Wood Pickaxes become 1 Stone Pickaxe.

Purchase Platforms

  • Buy 1

    Single pickaxe purchase, good for early game

  • Buy 5

    Small bulk buy, efficient for early merges

  • Buy 25

    Mid-game bulk purchasing

  • Buy 100

    Late-game mass buying for rapid tower expansion

Merge Tips

  • The Merge platform only activates when valid merge combinations exist
  • Always merge before buying more of the same tier to avoid inventory clutter
  • Bulk buying (Buy 100) is most efficient once you have steady income
  • Every merge adds a pickaxe to your visible mining tower

Ores Guide

Higher-tier pickaxes unlock access to rarer and more valuable ore types.

As you progress through pickaxe tiers, your mining tower extracts increasingly valuable materials. Early ores sell for base value, while late-game ores like Gold and Dark Matter yield significantly more Money per deposit.

Common Ores

Tiers 1-6

Stone, Copper, basic minerals

Low base value, high volume

Rare Ores

Tiers 7-14

Gold, Platinum, Crystal

Medium-high value, moderate volume

Legendary Ores

Tiers 15-24

Dark Matter, Void fragments

Very high value, lower volume

Higher pickaxe tier = access to tougher ores that sell for more Money. Prioritize merging over furnace upgrades in early and mid game.

Furnace & Processing Upgrades

Upgrade your ore processing speed to increase Money per second.

Your furnace processes deposited ores into Money. At game start, only one ore is processed per cycle. Upgrades dramatically increase throughput.

When to Upgrade

  • -Early game: Skip furnace upgrades. Buy pickaxes instead for better ore quality.
  • -Mid game: Upgrade when income stalls and you have excess Money after merges.
  • -Late game: Max processing speed complements high-tier pickaxes and 1.5x multiplier timing.
  • -Upgrade costs rise exponentially — plan purchases around merge milestones.

Finish Now Option

Some players report a Robux-based instant processing option. Use only if you want to skip wait times; it is not required for progression.

Early Game (Tiers 1-6)

  • Spend all early Money on pickaxes, not furnace upgrades
  • Use Buy 5 for efficient early merges
  • Collect ores regularly to avoid basin overflow
  • Do not worry about 1.5x multiplier yet

Mid Game (Tiers 7-14)

  • Start timing deposits at 1.5x Ore Multiplier
  • Switch to Buy 25 and Buy 100 for faster merges
  • Begin upgrading furnace processing speed
  • Explore Magmatic Cavern for new ore types

Late Game (Tiers 15-24)

  • Maximize 1.5x multiplier timing on every deposit
  • Use Buy 100 exclusively for tower expansion
  • Consider Auto Money + Auto Loot for AFK farming
  • Complete the full 24-pickaxe index

AFK Strategy

  • Without gamepasses: Set up pickaxes, collect periodically, merge when ready
  • With Auto Loot + Auto Money: Fully passive income between merges
  • Double Ore gamepass doubles mining output — best for long AFK sessions
  • Group rewards can be claimed every 10 minutes for bonus resources
