Upgrades Guide
Spend Coins on Bulk Pickup, Bulk Place, then max Placement Range. Buy order matters more than random early spends.
By Bloxron Editorial Team · Last updated

Coin upgrades overview
Three tracks at the UPGRADES stand: Bulk Pickup, Bulk Place, and Placement Range. Buy Pickup and Place first, then max Range. Prices rise after each purchase. These raise blocks per press, not carry capacity — capacity comes from Strength training.
Deep links: progression, training.
Upgrade table
Bulk Pickup starts at 50 Coins and adds one block per grab each tier. Bulk Place also starts at 50 Coins and adds one block per place each tier. Placement Range starts at 25 Coins, adds about +20% reach per tier up to a 100% cap, and should be finished after the first Pickup and Place buys. All three share one Coin pool.
| Upgrade | Effect | First cost | Priority |
|---|---|---|---|
| Bulk Pickup | +1 block per grab each tier | 50 Coins | 1st |
| Bulk Place | +1 block per place each tier | 50 Coins | 2nd |
| Placement Range | Wider place reach (about +20% per tier, cap 100%) | 25 Coins | 3rd, then max |
Buy order list
Buy Bulk Pickup Level 1 first so quarry runs double immediately, then Bulk Place Level 1 so you are not depositing a stack one click at a time. Push Placement Range to its cap next so upper layers need less walking. After that, compare next-tier prices — early Coins are often better on the next Bulk Pickup level than a mid Range buy.
- Buy Bulk Pickup Level 1 so quarry runs double immediately.
- Buy Bulk Place Level 1 so you are not depositing a stack one click at a time.
- Push Placement Range to its cap so upper layers need less walking. Maxed range often lets you cover a wide face from one stance.
- Compare next-tier prices in the same menu. Early Coins are often better on the next Bulk Pickup level than a random Range mid-buy.
- Bulk upgrades raise blocks per press. They do not raise carry capacity. That comes from Strength training at the gym.
Price notes list
Bulk tracks jump fast after Level 1: about 50 → 300 → 850 → 2,400 → 6,600 Coins. Placement Range climbs about 25 → 150 → 425 → 1,200 → 3,300 Coins, with the 425 Coin mid tier (~+30% reach) as a useful checkpoint. Read the live next price on the stand before spending.
- Bulk tracks jump fast after Level 1. A common ladder has shown about 50 → 300 → 850 → 2,400 → 6,600 Coins on Bulk Pickup / Bulk Place — read the live next price.
- Placement Range often climbs about 25 → 150 → 425 → 1,200 → 3,300 Coins. A mid tier around 425 Coins for about +30% reach is a useful checkpoint.
- Later Bulk tiers sit in the hundreds to thousands of Coins when Pickup and Place share the same next level. Read the next cost on the stand before spending.
- Once Coins flow fast, finishing Placement Range often beats another mid Bulk tier for place speed.
- All three tracks share one Coin pool.
- Older guides list higher first costs (for example 100 / 100 / 200). The live UPGRADES stand is the current price.
FAQ
What should I buy first?
Bulk Pickup, then Bulk Place, then max Placement Range. You raise blocks per trip and deposit speed before you pour Coins into stand-still reach.
Do upgrades replace gym training?
No. Bulk Pickup / Place change how many blocks you grab or deposit per press. Carry capacity still comes from Strength at the gym. Do both.
Why did the next level get expensive?
Each purchase raises that track's next price. Mid Bulk tiers can jump into the hundreds of Coins. Check the listed next cost before you spend.
Why max Placement Range?
Higher reach cuts walking on upper layers. After Bulk Pickup and Bulk Place are online, finishing Range is usually the best Coin sink for place speed.
