First steps after the tutorial
Step
The tutorial must be finished before codes work, so run through it first. Once it is done, your loop is simple: houses bring in citizens, citizens earn rent and staff your economy buildings, and a Collector hauls the goods so you never have to visit each building yourself.
- Finish the tutorial codes only unlock after you complete it.
- Place homes every citizen pays 1 coin per second in rent and can work one economy building slot.
- Click each economy building assign citizens to fill the worker slots; a building does nothing until at least one slot is filled.
- Hire a Collector (1,000 coins) it drives to your buildings automatically and brings goods to your Box.
- Press E at the Box move everything into your inventory, then walk to the sell NPC or hire a Merchant to sell for you.
- Expand your plot walk up to any blocked tile that touches your land and pay to clear it; the first tile costs 1,000 coins and the next seven cost 5,000 each.
How coins flow: rent, production, and selling
Summary
There are three income streams running at once.
- Rent every citizen pays 1 coin per second, capped at 100 coins per second per plot; ocean citizens pay Ocean Cash instead.
- Production economy buildings only produce while staffed, and output scales with how many worker slots are filled.
- Auto-sell buildings Banks, offices, the Radio Tower and the Power Plant convert produce straight to coins every minute with no pickup needed.
- Selling flags you hold add 15% per middle flag and 30% for the centre flag (flag 13) to every sale.
- Offline income production continues at half speed and rent keeps coming in for up to 24 hours after you leave.
- Schools an Elementary School boosts all economy buildings within 40 studs by 1.10x; a Secondary School reaches 65 studs for 1.20x; a University Campus covers 100 studs for 1.35x.
Expanding your plot
Table
Your plot starts as a 2x2 buildable area. Walk up to any adjacent blocked tile and pay to unlock it. There are 32 land tiles and 12 ocean tiles in total; ocean tiles open up the Ocean expansion.
| Tier | Number of tiles | Price per tile |
|---|---|---|
| 1 — first tile | 1 | 1,000 coins |
| 1 — remaining 7 | 7 | 5,000 coins each |
| 2 | 12 | 150,000 coins each |
| 3 | 6 | 30,000,000 coins each |
| 4 | 6 | 150,000,000 coins each |
| 5 (ocean) | 6 | 300,000,000 coins each |
| 6 (ocean) | 6 | 750,000,000 coins each |
Capturing and holding flags
TipsFlags sit around the map and are captured by sending troops to outnumber everyone else on the flag. Each flag you hold adds a percentage bonus to everything you sell.
- Each middle flag adds 15% to your sell income while you hold it.
- The centre flag (flag 13) adds 30% to your sell income.
- You only capture a flag when your side outnumbers all other sides standing on it at the same time.
- Flags you already hold count toward 'conquer flags' quest tasks the moment a new quest set begins, so you never have to retake them just for a quest.
- During the Alien Boss fight, every player on the server is automatically allied, so nobody can attack each other's troops or take their flags until the boss is gone.
- A Strength Potion (150,000 coins, Epic) gives your soldiers +15% damage for 15 minutes.
Building speed tricks
CheckSeveral things stack together to reduce construction time.
- Builder's Cabin each fully staffed cabin adds +1x to your build speed, up to a cap of 20x total.
- 2x Builder Speed gamepass (99 Robux) doubles your build speed on top of everything else.
- Builder Blitz every Saturday and Sunday (UTC) all build speed is doubled again; a banner tells you when it is active.
- Hammer (100,000 coins) a consumed item that cuts the remaining build time in half.
- Golden Hammer (1,200,000 coins) a consumed item that finishes any building instantly.

The Alien Invasion event (September 26 – October 21, 2026)
WarnDuring this event two new currencies are active: Alien Cash (from alien homes and economy buildings) buys most event buildings, and Alien Fragments (dropped when your troops kill aliens) buy the three Exotic alien buildings. The event shop opens in 10-minute sessions and the alien buildings get more expensive with each copy you buy.

Common questions
FAQWhere do I enter codes, and are there any rules?
Open the Codes box in your HUD and type the code there. You must finish the tutorial first. Codes are not case-sensitive, extra spaces are ignored, and each code works once per player.
How do I speed up construction without spending Robux?
Build and fully staff Builder's Cabins — each one adds +1x to your build speed, up to a maximum of 20x. Use a Hammer to cut the remaining time on one building in half, or a Golden Hammer to finish it instantly. Builder Blitz doubles everyone's build speed every Saturday and Sunday (UTC).
What happens to event buildings after an event ends?
The event shop closes, but every building you already placed keeps working. Egyptian buildings switch from producing Ancient Cash to producing coins, and alien buildings switch from Alien Cash to coins at the best rate for their rarity. Buildings bought with event currencies or Alien Fragments can no longer be sold after the event ends.
Does my country keep earning while I am offline?
Yes, production runs at half speed and rent keeps coming in for up to 24 hours after you leave, and buildings continue to be constructed. When you return, a summary shows everything that happened while you were away.
What is the shop restock schedule, and how can I improve my chances?
The shop restocks every 5 minutes, and the stock is the same for every player in the server at that moment. A Stock Potion (12,000,000 coins) adds one of every item for you alone, while the Restock Now option in the Robux Shop rerolls the shop immediately with double luck. The Shop skills in the Skill Tree cut building prices by up to 10% each, and the Exotics skill halves the price of Exotic buildings.
