Beginner Walkthrough: Your First Hour

Understanding the Core Loop

+1 Mine Per Click by VERY LUCKY is built around a simple loop that repeats for your entire account: train strength, mine downward, collect loot, sell it for cash, upgrade your pickaxe, and eventually rebirth at the bottom for permanent progression. Every system in the game feeds one of those steps. If you feel stuck in your first hour, you are almost always missing one link in that chain rather than playing incorrectly.

Strength determines how quickly you break blocks during a mining run. Cash pays for pickaxe upgrades and shop purchases. Loot is the bridge between mining and cash. Rebirth is the long-term multiplier you unlock once you understand all four. Treat your first hour as learning how those four resources convert into each other, not as a race to the deepest layer.

Step 1: Learn the Controls and UI

Before you train or mine, open the menus listed in our UI and menus guide so you know where strength upgrades, inventory, pickaxe shop, and rebirth prompts live. On PC you click to mine and use keyboard shortcuts for training; on mobile you tap holding areas for auto-train. Confirm which input mode you are using so you do not accidentally idle without gaining strength.

Pin the pickaxe shop and sell location on your mental map. New players lose time running in circles looking for the vendor. The surface layer is small, but habits you build now save minutes on every later run.

Step 2: Train Strength Before You Dig Deep

Walk to the strength training zone and begin clicking or holding the train button. Strength raises your mining damage per swing, which means fewer hits per block and faster depth progress. Early layers have low requirements, but players who skip training still hit walls when ore hardness spikes a few layers down.

Follow our how to train strength guide for pacing tips. A practical beginner rule: train until your mining speed feels noticeably faster on the first two layers, then start a short mining trip. Return to training whenever breaking a single block takes more than a second or two.

Step 3: Mine Down and Collect Loot

Enter the mine shaft and click blocks to carve a path downward. Each broken block may drop loot based on the layer you are in. Common ore sells reliably; rarer drops appear deeper and fund bigger pickaxe jumps. Do not ignore inventory space—full bags stop new drops from appearing.

Read the mining layers overview to learn which depths introduce tougher rock and better payouts. In your first hour, reaching the mid-shallow tiers is a solid goal. You are learning route efficiency, not trying to touch the bottom yet.

Step 4: Sell Loot and Buy Your First Pickaxe Upgrades

Return to the sell area and convert ore to cash. Cash is your primary upgrade currency early on. Open the pickaxe vendor and buy the next affordable tier. Each pickaxe upgrade increases mining power and often unlocks faster clearing of high-health blocks. Chain upgrades as soon as you can afford them; sitting on cash without a pickaxe gain slows every future minute.

The pickaxe item page lists how tiers scale, and the better pickaxe guide explains when to skip a tier versus saving for a bigger jump. Beginners should favor steady one-tier upgrades unless a sale or bundle makes a double jump possible.

Step 5: Use Offline Earnings Wisely

One of the game’s headline features is earning strength and cash while offline. Before closing Roblox, stand in an offline earnings zone if the map provides one—details are on the offline earnings page. When you return, collect passive gains and immediately reinvest them into strength or pickaxes instead of spending on cosmetic shop items.

Offline income will not carry you to the bottom on day one, but it compounds. Players who log off in the correct zone every session pull ahead of players who quit mid-air in the lobby.

Step 6: Know When to Stop for the Session

End your first hour with a repeatable routine: train until mining feels smooth, mine until inventory or depth goals are met, sell, upgrade pickaxe, optionally train again, then log off in an offline zone. Avoid rebirth until you have seen deeper layers and read the mid-game walkthrough. Your first rebirth is a strategic reset, not a tutorial button.

First-Hour Goals Checklist

• Locate training, mining entrance, sell NPC, and pickaxe shop without asking for directions.
• Complete at least two mine-and-sell cycles with one pickaxe upgrade between them.
• Reach the first mid-depth layer family described in mining layers content.
• Log off once in an offline earnings area to test passive gains on return.
• Bookmark the active codes page for future boosts when VERY LUCKY adds promo codes.

Once these goals feel easy, you are ready for mid-game pacing where rebirth timing and pickaxe tier lists matter more than raw clicking speed.
