How to Play Planet RNG — First 30 Minutes

The loop in one paragraph

Roll for weapons, equip the best ones, point them at a planet, watch it break, spend the credits on the next planet, and repeat. Everything else in Planet RNG — rebirths, mutations, constellations, events — is a multiplier layered on top of those five steps. Your first session is about getting all five moving; none of them needs to be optimal yet.

Minute 0–5: finish the tutorial and make your first rolls

The tutorial walks you through the interface and unlocks the menus — finish it before anything else, because parts of the UI stay locked until it is done. You emerge with the roll controls: the big ROLL - FREE button bottom-left (E on keyboard also prompts a roll, per the official key art), and an AUTO ROLL toggle right beside it that keeps scans running without you.

Turn AUTO ROLL on immediately. Rolls are free on the base timer, the results go straight into your Arsenal, and nothing else in the game happens faster because you clicked manually.

Minute 5–10: equip everything that helps, then destroy

Open the Inventory and equip your new weapons (AUTO EQUIP BEST in the store laters handles this automatically, but early on there are few enough guns to do it by hand). Equipment slots are limited — the store sells '+1 Weapon Slot' for later — so equip the strongest few and keep rolling in the background.

Then destroy. Click your planet, or switch AUTO FIRE on and let the weapons work. The Moon is your first target, and destruction pays credits continuously as the bar fills — big payouts flash across the centre of the screen.

Minute 10–15: free rewards before anything else

Two free boosts are sitting in the game on day one, and both take under a minute. First, redeem codes: the Settings menu holds a code box, and there are eight live codes on our codes page as of 13 September — several hand out potions or cash. Second, join the developer's group (Planet World Inc): the game literally prints 'Join Group for +3 Luck!' on the HUD, and the 'Thanks for joining! +3 Luck active' banner confirms it applying.

Both boosts are permanent and neither costs anything. Do the codes while potions are running so the first real session lands them all at once.

Minute 15–25: buy the next planet, keep the loop hot

Credits from the first planets go into the Planets panel — buy the next row as soon as you can afford it. Each row raises your income multiplier (rows 27+ sit at x6.2 and climbing, per our ladder readings), so a new planet is the single biggest thing early credits can buy. Planets also unlock the destruction targets that pay even bigger.

Minute 25–30: set up the habits that matter

Three habits separate fast accounts from slow ones, and all three are free. Keep AUTO ROLL running whenever the game is open. Claim the daily reward every day — Day 4 is 'Big Luck' and Day 7 hides a '???' weekly payoff. And before logging off, check the event strip at the bottom of the screen: during Meteor Shower the game runs '+50% Luck', which is the best moment to spend any potions you have banked.

What NOT to worry about yet

Mutations, rebirths, constellations and the Forge menu are all mid-game systems. Rebirth in particular is worth ignoring until the panel says you can comfortably afford it — it keeps your weapons and upgrades (the panel prints 'All your weapons, upgrades & fleets are kept!'), so nothing is lost by waiting, and the multipliers it grants are wasted on a tiny credit income anyway.
