Mine a Planet Tier List
Mine a Planet has no public drone roster or stats table, so this role-first tier list helps you test whether mining power, travel speed, or cargo is the current bottleneck.
Measured cycle bottleneck
Compare observed mining time, return time, cargo interruptions, cash per load, and full-cycle seconds on the same planet.
Official, creator, wiki, and community context
Official Roblox text is strongest. This page uses Early tip and Reported confidence labels because no public drone roster or stat table is available.
Rankings
Mine a Planet fleet roles
Each role is an Early tip or Reported confidence-labelled test method, not a claim that a named drone is permanently best in the current beta.
SEarly tip
Best early-game pick
Starter path
long mining phasevisible slow damage
Test mining power first when the drones spend most of each observed cycle firing at the planet.
Team combo: Use the same planet and note one full before-and-after cycle.
Ranking note: Reported test method; the official description names mining speed but publishes no drone-stat table.

Travel-speed test
Cycle-time bottleneck
long travelslow returns
Test travel speed when return trips or target reacquisition take more time than the mining phase.
Team combo: Record several cycles before deciding that speed is the current risk.
Ranking note: Reported test method; compare the timer, not an unverified upgrade value.

Cargo-capacity test
Full-hold bottleneck
frequent full holdsshort mining window
Test cargo when a full hold ends useful mining before the rest of the cycle is productive.
Team combo: Recheck cash per load after changing only one variable.
Ranking note: Reported test method; Mine a Planet's public description names cargo but gives no exact thresholds.
Latest adjustment: this page was narrowed on 2026-07-16 to role tests after the official game page provided no public named-drone stat table.
Mining role
Test mining power when drones spend most of a cycle firing at the planet.
Travel role
Test speed when travel, return trips, or target reacquisition dominate the cycle.
Cargo role
Test cargo when a full hold interrupts mining before a useful run is complete.
Observation notes
A role test needs a controlled comparison
Keep the planet, drone count, and other settings steady so one mining, travel, or cargo change can be compared fairly.
Beginner guide
Record a full fleet cycle
Start with active drones, cash per load, cargo, and complete cycle seconds before using any role test.
