What drones do
Drones process placed ores into sellable crates over time. They run offline-capable, so an AFK base still produces crates while you are away.
Speed versus value
Ore Speed shortens the drone cycle but does not raise per-ore value. Ore Level raises per-ore value but does not speed the cycle. Pair Speed with Level before chasing Luck.
Avoid Common bottlenecks
Common ores ($1-$500) drain your drone slots without producing meaningful Cash. Auto-discard or skip Common rolls once you can afford Uncommon or Rare bands.
Use the profit-per-hour tool
The profit-per-hour calculator models Cash-per-hour from ore tier, mutation multiplier, drone speed, and active Growth Gem boosts. Use it to compare two ore setups before swapping.
