League System: Dividing Everyone into "Weight Classes" for Fairer Payouts
Previously, all players shared one big pool, and newcomers or low-power players simply couldn't compete with veterans—rewards were easily monopolized by top players. Now the platform has split the pool into multiple leagues based on Maximum Power (the combined power of your miners, racks, and permanent bonuses); everyone only competes for rewards within their own league, and the pools are independent of each other .
A few key points:
- Placement is purely based on "permanent power": temporary boosts from minigames don't count toward league placement. So don't worry about being thrown into a higher league just because you played a few more minigames that day .
- You can only move up, not down: once you reach a league, even if your power drops, you'll stay in that league (though earnings will decrease). Power evaluations happen once a day, and if you improve quickly, you can jump multiple leagues at once .
- Higher leagues unlock more coin types: progressing through leagues not only increases reward amounts but also unlocks additional payout tokens .
Hamster (Expeditions): A "Secondary Income Stream" Alongside Mining
Hamsters are a relatively new system—you send hamsters out on "expeditions," and after completion they bring back rewards. This is parallel to your mining income; it doesn't interfere with your miners, but it does require you to manage it separately .
The core mechanics are simple:
- How to obtain: primarily through the Season Pass, and occasionally through events or sales. Once you have one, it's permanent .
- Survival rate determines rewards: each hamster has basic stats; higher total stats mean higher survival probability (as low as 20%, up to 90%). Higher expedition difficulty reduces survival rate but increases rewards .
- Leveling up and resting: hamsters gain experience from expeditions; each level-up grants a stat point. After each expedition, they must rest for 24 hours; if they fail, the rest time doubles to 48 hours .
So the hamster system essentially gives you an "idle + stat allocation" secondary gameplay loop. You still need to log in to send hamsters out and collect rewards, but it doesn't require the intense grinding of minigames like mining does, very friendly for players who've been grinding for a long time and want a slower pace.
