Destroy a Vault Gold, Cash & Gems

Last updated 2026-10-08

Progression

Gold comes from your robots attacking vaults. The Smelter converts Gold into Cash, which buys robots, base slots and upgrades. Gems are a separate reward currency for Market purchases such as Mutation Cores.

Make the first earning cycle work

Begin with a claimed robot and a purchased placement slot. Once it is equipped, the robot attacks the vault. Carry Gold to the Smelter rather than trying to spend the haul directly at the upgrade boards. The official description explicitly connects smelting to Cash, and both narrated gameplay sessions use that conversion repeatedly.

If an expensive robot offer appears, compare the Cash purchase price with your actual Cash balance. Gold waiting beside a base is potential Cash after conversion, not already spendable currency. Superlex returns to smelting while trying to afford robot purchases. A good next step can be collecting and converting what you already earned before another roll changes the offer.

Which purchase produces more progress?

The early board recommendation is Robot Damage, then Robot Battery, then Robot Luck. Damage strengthens the current attackers. Battery helps their working time. Luck addresses future offers. A new placement slot only contributes when you have a robot to equip there. Roll Spots affects offers and does not create an extra fighting position.

Use the price shown on your next board rather than a historical video balance. In Superlex’s session the first island prompt shows 700,000 Cash, while an additional roll-slot increase later is shown at 10 million. AlphaShoe describes a subsequent island at 60 million. Those numbers describe different purchases and progression positions. They should not be collapsed into one “island cost.”

Offline Gold and Auto Collect

LoopForge’s description says robots earn Gold while you are offline. Prepare your deployed army before leaving and return to its earnings when you rejoin. An exact offline cap, multiplier and Gold-per-hour formula are not stated in that description, so there is no fixed promise of how much one overnight session pays.

The official Auto Collect pass costs 99 Robux in the current API record. Its description says Gold goes straight into the Smelter automatically and the benefit is permanent. It changes handling of the currency loop; it is not an advertised instant increase to the robot’s damage. The 149-Robux Fast Spin pass instead advertises four-times-faster rolls. See the pass comparison before choosing a convenience purchase.

For Gem spending, use Mutation Cores. For ordinary Cash decisions, the upgrade table and progression guide keep purchases tied to the bottleneck in your base.
