Frequently Asked Questions
How many pickaxes are in Pickaxe Tycoon?
There are 24 pickaxes total. The goal is to collect all of them by merging through every tier from Wood to Legendary.
How does the merge system work?
Combine three identical pickaxes of the same tier to create one pickaxe of the next tier. Use the Merge platform when eligible combinations are available. Example: 3 Wood Pickaxes become 1 Stone Pickaxe.
What is the Ore Multiplier?
A global value that changes every 30 seconds and affects ore sale price. The peak is 1.5x. Wait for the peak before depositing large batches of ores for maximum profit.
Should I upgrade pickaxes or the furnace first?
Always prioritize pickaxes. Better pickaxes mine rarer ores worth more money. Upgrade the furnace only once your pickaxe income stabilizes in mid-to-late game.
Can I play Pickaxe Tycoon AFK?
Yes. Pickaxes mine automatically. For full AFK, the Auto Loot and Auto Money gamepasses automate collection. Without them, check back periodically to collect and merge.
