Full Progression Route

Progression overview

Mine a Planet progression is two parallel tracks: fleet power (mining, cargo, speed, drone count) and planet evolution (higher ore tiers). You alternate between farming currency, buying fleet upgrades, and evolving when ready with reserves for catch-up.

This route avoids rarity detours. Official ultra-rare drone mentions exist, but fleet upgrades and evolution deliver measurable milestones every session.

Phase 1: First hour

Join, complete tutorial, redeem all active codes, buy first mining power upgrade, establish highest reliable ore farm. Goal: understand cycle timing and earn enough for cargo threshold one.

Beat first wall by upgrading mining, not buying speed or extra drones prematurely.

Phase 2: Early mid game

Unlock second drone after mining baseline. Alternate mining and cargo upgrades. Introduce speed once holds fill. Save evolution buffer while farming top ore.

First evolution: evolve with reserves, mining catch-up immediately, retest ore tier, resume farming. Read planet evolution guide for crash prevention.

Phase 3: Mid game loops

Follow fleet upgrade rounds: mining → cargo → speed → evaluate drone slots → repeat. Use free drone rolls on cooldown without skipping fleet tiers.

Active farm with codes during play sessions; spend permanent currency on bottleneck stats. Income calculator validates big purchases.

Phase 4: Late game

Evolution becomes a project: bank, evolve, triad catch-up, rebalance, farm new top tier. Offline sessions reward balanced fleets — prep cargo and speed before long logouts.

Beat late walls by refusing single-stat streaks and comparing hourly income before versus after each evolution, not before versus after each roll.

When growth slows, revisit tier lists for which stat is S-tier at your current ore and drone count.

Session checklist

Every session: redeem any new codes, time one cycle, buy one bottleneck upgrade if affordable, farm best ore. Every evolution: triad catch-up budget. Every logout: stable ore tier and full holds.

That loop carries from beginner to late game without requiring undisclosed rarity luck.

Weekly review: compare whether your farm ore tier changed, whether drone count still earns its keep, and whether offline payouts are growing. Adjust the route phase labels if you are still in early mid game — there is no shame in reinforcing fundamentals.

• Redeem codes → measure cycle → upgrade bottleneck
• Farm top reliable ore → bank for evolution
• Evolve with reserves → catch up fleet → repeat

How to beat late progression walls

Late walls often feel like evolution is too expensive while income is too flat. The fix is usually not logging more hours on the wrong ore — it is a targeted fleet triad after banking, or a temporary tier downgrade to stabilize cycle value while saving.

If rolls or shop items tempt you during a wall, spend only after a fleet upgrade purchase that measurably shortens your longest cycle phase. Verified fleet gains beat unverified rarity every time.
