Guides
Sell Ores beginner guides and walkthroughs: how to place and mine ores, buy drones, expand your base and earn money fast from your first spawn.
Introduction
The Guides hub is the fastest way to learn Sell Ores from the ground up. Whether you just spawned into your first base or you are pushing toward the leaderboard, our step-by-step articles cover the whole journey: how to place and mine your first ores, when to buy your first drone, which base upgrades to prioritize, and how the AFK and offline income systems really work. We keep every guide free-to-play friendly because most players start with zero premium currency, and the game is designed so patience and smart reinvestment beat spending. Each article explains the reasoning behind every step instead of just listing tasks, so you understand the progression systems rather than blindly following a checklist. If you are a returning player, the guides also flag what changed in recent patches so you can jump back in without re-learning everything from scratch.

Core Mechanics
Sell Ores progression follows a clear loop: place an ore on a mining spot, let your pickaxe or drones extract it, carry the ore to a sell point, and reinvest the cash into more spots, drones and base upgrades. Your base is your factory floor, and the ore floors you unlock are the vertical progression ladder that exposes higher-value ores. The AFK system sits on top of this loop: as long as you have drones and automation, the base keeps producing even while you are away, and you never get kicked for inactivity. Because the game updates frequently, the guides hub is kept in sync with each patch so the upgrade order and money advice stay accurate. We also mark community-reported numbers clearly, so you know which values are confirmed and which are still being tested by players.
Advantages
Following the Guides hub shortens your learning curve dramatically. Instead of experimenting with every upgrade and floor, you get a tested order of operations that avoids classic mistakes like hoarding low-value ores or buying drones in the wrong order. The guides are free-to-play friendly, so every tip works whether you spend or not. Because the AFK and offline systems are explained in depth, you also know exactly when automation starts paying for itself and how to set up your base so it earns while you sleep. Every guide lists concrete checkpoints — which ores to sell, which upgrades to buy, when to unlock the next floor — so you can measure your progress instead of guessing. The step-by-step format also makes it easy to share with friends joining the game late, so your whole group grows at the same pace.
Challenges
Sell Ores changes fast, and guides can briefly fall behind a new update while editors verify the latest numbers. Some systems, like exact ore spawn rates and floor upgrade costs, are community-reported rather than officially confirmed, so specific values may shift. Beginners should treat the guides as a strong starting point but double-check the Updates page whenever a patch drops. The wiki is community-maintained, so a brand-new update may have thinner coverage while editors test the new systems. If a guide references a feature that no longer exists after a patch, check the Updates page or the official Discord group for the latest version notes.

Quick Tips
Reach automation in your first session: sell your first ores, buy a drone, and let it start earning while you expand. The single fastest way to accelerate early progress is to stop manually carrying ore and let a drone do it, so treat your first drone purchase as the most important early milestone.
Do not hoard low-value ores. Selling everything you mine keeps cash flowing into upgrades, and the opportunity cost of holding a cheap ore is almost always higher than the tiny price it would fetch later. Common ores exist to be sold, not collected. Common ores are income, not inventory — sell them the moment you mine them and keep the cash cycle moving.
Unlock the next ore floor as soon as you can afford it — higher floors hold higher-value ores that make every minute of mining worth more. If you are unsure whether to upgrade drones or unlock a floor first, unlock the floor when it is affordable and spend the rest on drone speed.
