I made a post about TerraMine recently and i missed out on some stuff.

The first guy hit $200 boosted AFTER ONLY 3 MONTH.

https://www.reddit.com/r/TerraMineOfficial/comments/1wtmts6/hit_200_a_month_boosted_heres_a_look_at_how_much/

I played a bit more and i now know why.

You can grind minigames without a roadstop. All mines have 100 levels (5 games per level) and you can grind them to level 100 no problem in a day. (100 ad watches are the longest part in this)

With the made TerraBucks you can buy enough new mines that you can get a new gold or diamond mine and repeat the process.

I play this since a week now and i got 100 parcels and i basically did barely anything the first 3 days.

If you have the space (my house is plastered with mines) you can achieve 20 mines per day if not more. All without check ins or referrals.

If you got a buddy at work or near your house you can farm check ins as well and can get 30+ mines a day.

Right now the game is exploding in players because it pays sooo much more than any other of this kind. It will be in no time before the developer will decrease the TB gained from mini games because people get so high so fast.

Until that happens i will grind as hard as i can to get as much money out of it as possible.

If you need a referral for a headstart i won't mind it if you take mine

I just looked through the gift cards and there is basically nothing for non US people.

Kinda sad because paypal is fine but then i need to transfer it to my account and then buy stuff on Amazon (as i use it for all my side hustle uses).

This is a post about TerraMine but without all the PR bullshit.

Its, like a lot popped up lately, an Atlas Earth clone that tries to get into the business of selling location data and ad revenue. For us players there is the possibility to generate some 'passive' (not really that passive, more later) income that is steady and can increase up to $200 per month (max payout you can make, not realistic wihout massive referral activity and time).

You get 10 mines from the start if you use a Referral or enter a code after you joined (TM-RXT7H).

These mines generate very little and the only way to realisticly scale is to buy more mines. You can buy more mines with their own currency (at the moment no way to spend real money to buy so that is good for people that are prone to addiction) TB. 100 TB is a mine and you need to buy it near your actual location.

You can get more TB by playing mini games and in theory by check ins (your own mines and others) or using the money accumulated to convert it to TB.

Only the mini games are really valuable. Since this game is new you will be the only one having this 'game' so no mines around you. Also check ins take time, a few seconds per mine and net you very little if nothing.

Converting earnings into mines is also more of a gimmick since your mines generate basically nothing the first month at least. And even if they generate 1-2 dollars that is basically nothing (1 dollar is 200 TB or 300 on certain days).

Mini games are the way to go to scale up your production to a level that is not pityfull.

Everyone reads the same guide and plays the same coal mini game. Its a maze that takes 20 seconds or so to complete (if you are good, also the controls are awful) and nets (after you level up the game) 30 TB. Diamond is faster (if you are good between 3 and 6 seconds each attempt) is mostly idiot proof (flipping mirrors to guide a laser) and nets you 12 TB.

Rock is memory but also bad. It is not hard but super slow. If you don't get a pair the cards take a second to turn back.

Gold is also super easy but on the same speed as laser and nets lesser TB.

TL:DR:

Laser Mini game gets you TB fast to buy more mines. All other methods are moot.

Then comes the topic of boosting your passive income. You can watch ads to increase production for 30 minutes per ad (20x boost) and get 2 hour worth of boosts per day for free.

In the beginning this is completly pointless. If you boost your income from $0.005 to $0.1 thats still not noticable and you need to watch a lot of ads to achieve a full day coverage. This time is better spend in mini games. (There are also ads to level up your game but they are only after every 5-6 mini games)

After you have a few hundred mines it is time to boost but before its just wasted time.

TL:DR: Only use the free boost for the first month at least, waste of time.

Lastly you can upgrade your mines. It 'increases' their production. It is a 1% increase, that is basically nothing. Even if you increase a diamond mine by 10% its still worse than another rock mine.

Who is this 'game' for? People that have a lot of litte slots where they can grind mini games and are patient. The first 1-3 month you won't see a dime from that game, after that it ramps up.

The goal must be that you can get to a few dollar with only the free boost, that makes it nearly fully passive. It is also a gamble if the game survives or gets hard nerfed in earnings (either TB or $). So i started early to see how long we can get something out of it.

PRO TIP: If you start, start with a friend that lives nearby so you can do the check in. Even tho it nets very little its better than zero.
