Azurite and Aurum are the two ore names explicitly shown in the official description, which also says ore appears in tiers and rarer ore unlocks through planet evolution. Exact prices, health values, layer order, and drop rates are beta data that should be read from the live game rather than copied from an unsourced list.
What we know
- Azurite and Aurum are named in the official game description.
- The creator describes ore bursting off in tiers as the planet is mined.
- Planet evolution is advertised as unlocking rarer ore and larger worlds.
- Exact ore sell values, durability, order, and drop rates are not published in the first-party description.
Use current in-game values when comparing upgrades; this guide does not invent hidden ore prices or drop rates.
How ore tiers shape progression
Ore is the material link between drone work and cash progression. The official description establishes a tiered structure from Azurite to Aurum and beyond, but it deliberately does not provide a stable encyclopedic table for the beta.
A higher-value tier is only useful when the fleet can process it efficiently. If the new material takes much longer to break or creates longer return cycles, compare total cash over time instead of judging the ore by a single sale value.
How to compare ore in your current build
Use the live UI to record the ore name, sale value or payout shown, approximate break time, and number of loads completed during a short test. Repeat the same observation after an upgrade or evolution.
This creates a personal BETA 8 snapshot rather than pretending that a rapidly changing economy has permanent prices. If the game does not show a value clearly, leave it unknown.
- 1
Choose one ore tier and a fixed observation window.
- 2
Record the visible payout and how long the fleet spends breaking and transporting it.
- 3
Calculate a rough cash-per-minute comparison using only values you observed.
- 4
Repeat after one upgrade or evolution, keeping the rest of the test as similar as possible.
Why this wiki avoids a fixed ore price table
Mine a Planet is still labelled BETA 8. Economy values can change without the ore names changing, and a screenshot may reflect boosts or a different progression state. A table without build, date, and conditions can be more misleading than useful.
When reliable first-party values or a reproducible data set becomes available, the wiki can add them with build and source labels. Until then, the live game is the correct source for exact numbers.
Decision guide
Match the visible signal in your current session to the safest next check.
| What you see | What it may mean | Next move |
|---|---|---|
| A new ore sells for more but breaks much more slowly | Value per piece may not equal better value per minute | Compare full-cycle cash over the same time window |
| Drones return constantly with small or full loads | Transport or cargo may be limiting ore throughput | Test the relevant fleet stat before judging the ore tier |
| A guide lists exact values without build or source | The table may be stale or invented | Verify the number in the current BETA 8 interface |
| Evolution offers access to rarer ore | The next world may change both value and work difficulty | Record a before-and-after production baseline |
Player checklist
- Record the game build and date with any ore value.
- Compare cash per time, not only cash per piece.
- Include break, travel, and unloading time in the comparison.
- Recheck values after evolution or an update.
- Do not mix boosted and unboosted sessions.
Common mistakes
Copying an unsourced price table
A beta economy can change quickly, and values may depend on progression or boosts. Always attach a build and source.
Assuming rarer automatically means faster progress
Higher value may come with slower breaking or longer logistics. Measure the whole production cycle.
Ignoring fleet bottlenecks
Ore can appear weak when the real problem is mining power, speed, or cargo capacity.
Ores FAQ
What ores are confirmed in Mine a Planet?
Azurite and Aurum are explicitly named in the official Roblox description, which also says additional ore tiers exist beyond them.
How do I unlock rarer ore?
The creator says planet evolution unlocks rarer ore and larger worlds. Exact requirements are not published in the first-party description used here.
What is the best ore in Mine a Planet?
No complete, stable first-party ore table is available. The best current target depends on visible value and how efficiently your fleet can process it.
Why are exact ore prices missing?
The game is in beta and the official description does not publish them. This wiki avoids presenting unsourced or stale numbers as facts.
Evidence boundary
The core facts are tied to a creator-controlled description or public Roblox record. Strategy and diagnostic advice are editorial interpretations of visible systems, not claims about private formulas. Recheck the live interface when the beta build changes.
