Mining Guide

Key Takeaways

  • Mining extracts Cryptonium Ore that must be refined into CRYPTO
  • 5 miner subclasses: Miner, Transport, Ventilation, Supervisor, Foreman
  • All miners face 50% theft loss and 20% tax
  • Foreman has highest production (3.0 CRYPTO) but also highest losses
  • Mining feeds both the Tax Pool and Thieve Pool

Mining is the backbone of CryptoLand’s economy. Miners descend into the depths of Mount CryCor to extract Cryptonium Ore—the raw material that becomes CRYPTO currency. It’s dangerous work with high rewards and higher risks.

How Mining Works

Step 1: Mine

Perform the Mine action with your Miner Avatar. This extracts Cryptonium Ore based on your miner’s subclass.

Step 2: Refine

Raw ore is useless until refined. Perform the Refine action to convert Cryptonium Ore into usable CRYPTO currency.

Step 3: Survive Theft

Here’s the catch: miners are targets. 50% of your production is lost to thieves who prey on miners before they can secure their earnings.

The 5 Miner Subclasses

Subclass Role Daily Production Cost to Mine Miner Bonus
Miner Basic extraction 0.6 CRYPTO 0.11 CRYPTO 0.1 CRYPTO
Transport Moving materials 1.2 CRYPTO 0.22 CRYPTO 0.2 CRYPTO
Ventilation Mine maintenance 1.8 CRYPTO 0.34 CRYPTO 0.3 CRYPTO
Supervisor Overseeing operations 2.4 CRYPTO 0.46 CRYPTO 0.4 CRYPTO
Foreman Managing crews 3.0 CRYPTO 0.54 CRYPTO 0.5 CRYPTO

Complete Earnings Breakdown

Let’s calculate actual net earnings for each miner type:

Subclass Production Cost Tax (20%) Theft (50%) NET
Miner 0.6 -0.11 -0.12 -0.30 0.18
Transport 1.2 -0.22 -0.24 -0.60 0.36
Ventilation 1.8 -0.34 -0.36 -0.90 0.54
Supervisor 2.4 -0.46 -0.48 -1.20 0.72
Foreman 3.0 -0.54 -0.60 -1.50 0.90

The Theft Problem

Miners live a harsh life. The 50% theft loss isn’t a bug—it’s core game design:

  • Thieves are everywhere: Army avatars target miners before they can refine
  • No escape: All miners face this risk regardless of subclass
  • Feeds the economy: Stolen CRYPTO goes to the Thieve Pool
  • Creates balance: Without theft, mining would be overpowered

Where Does Stolen CRYPTO Go?

The 50% theft fills the Thieve Pool, which Army avatars draw from when they perform the Thieve action. Your loss is someone else’s gain.

Mining vs Land Ownership

Factor Mining (Foreman) Land (Level 10)
Daily Production 3.0 CRYPTO 3.0 CRYPTO
Tax Rate 20% 10%
Theft Loss 50% 0%
Net Earnings 0.9 CRYPTO 1.8 CRYPTO
Play Style Active, risky Passive, safe

The verdict: Land earns 2x more net CRYPTO than equivalent mining due to zero theft risk.

Mining Strategies

Minimize Exposure

  • Refine ore quickly after mining
  • Don’t let CRYPTO sit unprotected
  • Use “Be Noble” banking immediately

Volume Approach

  • Run multiple miners
  • Accept theft as cost of business
  • Focus on gross production

Hybrid Strategy

  • Own Land for safe base income
  • Add miners for extra production
  • Balance risk across assets

Why Mine at All?

Given the 50% theft, why would anyone mine?

  • Lower entry cost: Basic miners are common and affordable
  • Economic role: Mining creates the CRYPTO supply
  • Loot boxes: Some of the best items come from Miner Loot Boxes
  • Active gameplay: Some players enjoy the risk and activity
  • Tax Pool contribution: Miners feed the system that Nobles draw from

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I avoid the 50% theft?
No. All miners face 50% theft loss. It’s built into the game mechanics and cannot be avoided through any strategy or equipment.
Is mining worth it compared to land?
Financially, land is more efficient (2x better net rewards at equivalent levels). However, miners are often cheaper to acquire, and some players enjoy the active gameplay and risk.
What’s the best miner subclass?
Foreman has the highest net earnings (0.9 CRYPTO daily) but is also rarer and more expensive. For daily rewards, compare acquisition cost against daily net earnings.
Do I need to refine immediately?
Yes. Unrefined ore is vulnerable. Refine as quickly as possible and deposit into the Bank using the Noble strategy to protect your earnings.
