How Mine a Planet works

Understand the dual-layer progression system: automated dock production paired with active tools and event hunting.

01 AUTOMATION

Dock Mining Loop

Drones are the center of Mine a Planet. A drone placed on a Dock Platform automatically mines ore from your planet. You collect that ore, sell it for Cash, and reinvest the money into more rolls, more dock space, better output, and upgraded equipment.

02 ACTIVE PLAY

Active Tools & Events

Active play runs alongside that production loop. The Laser Pistol can mine and attack targets, the Jetpack helps with movement and airborne event resources, and Drone Kit slots let recalled drones follow you. Captured Pets or Aliens, mutations, batteries, and Index rewards all feed back into faster progression.

From your first roll to a larger operation

Each step creates the resources or bonuses needed for the next phase of expansion.

  1. 01 STARTER

    Roll and buy a drone

    Use the Drone Rolls machine, choose an available drone, and purchase it.

  2. 02 DEPLOY

    Deploy it to a dock

    Place the drone on a Dock Platform so it can automatically mine ore.

  3. 03 ECONOMY

    Collect and sell ore

    Move mined ore out of storage and sell it to turn production into Cash.

  4. 04 EXPANSION

    Upgrade capacity

    Add rolls and platforms, improve ore value, and raise mining or storage capacity.

  5. 05 ADVANCED

    Unlock permanent boosts

    Discover drones, mutations, and Pets to progress the Index for lasting bonuses.

WIKI FIELD NOTE

Do not treat automatic mining as a reason to ignore active tools. Events and Alien capture open a second route to useful rewards.

  1. 01
    Learn the sell loop first.

    Buy a drone, deploy it, then find where to collect and sell its ore before spending heavily elsewhere.

  2. 02
    Increase useful throughput.

    More Drone Rolls and Dock Platforms create more choices and production slots. Ore value, mining, cargo, and storage upgrades improve what those slots can earn.

  3. 03
    Use the Laser Pistol.

    It supports manual mining, Wild Alien encounters, and event targets. Upgrade it when active targets become too slow to handle.

  4. 04
    Keep strong drones flexible.

    A drone can work on a Dock or be recalled into a Drone Kit slot to follow you and help attack.

  5. 05
    Check the Index as you collect.

    New drones, mutations, and Pets are not only collection entries; Index progress can grant permanent bonuses.

How Mine a Planet systems fit together

These are separate systems with different jobs, even when they all improve overall drone progression.

SYSTEM 01 // PRODUCTION DOCK

Dock setup

A Dock combines a working drone, ore storage, temporary battery boosts, and support effects from a Pet or Alien.

  • Drone: mines ore
  • Battery: timed Dock boost
  • Pet / Alien: passive support
SYSTEM 02 // DRONE GROWTH MUTATION

Mutations and Index

CPU Chips apply named mutations to drones. Discovered drones, mutations, and Pets also advance separate Index collections.

  • Mutation: drone output modifier
  • Clean CPU Chip: removes a mutation
  • Index: permanent progression
SYSTEM 03 // ACTIVE PLAY TOOLS

Tools and followers

The Laser Pistol handles mining and targets, the Jetpack improves movement, and Drone Kit drones follow the player and attack.

  • Laser Pistol: mining and damage
  • Jetpack: flight and collection
  • Drone Kit: follower slots
SYSTEM 04 // EVENT ECONOMY REWARDS

Shards, tokens, rewards

Events can have their own targets, Shards, exchange rates, Tokens, and prize pools rather than sharing one universal event currency.

  • UFO and Jellyfish systems observed
  • Event-specific exchange rates
  • Rewards feed back into progression

Mine a Planet basics

Short explanations for the systems new players encounter first.

What do drones do in Mine a Planet?

Drones are the main production units. Buy a drone from the roll machine, place it on a Dock Platform, and it will mine ore from your planet. Recall a drone when you want to move it to another role or slot.

Is Mine a Planet an idle game?

Drones mine automatically, but active play still matters. You collect and sell ore, use the Laser Pistol, catch Aliens, and take part in events. Auto Collect and Auto Sell are separate paid features.

What are batteries used for?

Batteries are temporary boosts for a selected Dock. They do not recharge a drone energy bar. The boost strength and duration depend on the battery used.

Are Pets and Drone Kit drones the same thing?

No. Pets, also shown as Aliens in parts of the game, are captured support units that provide passive effects. Drone Kit slots use your drones as followers that help during active play.
