Which Continent Should I Unlock First?

When you start the game, you'll be forced to start on the Grass Continent. But depending on how fast or how much resources you get to save at one point, you are really free to open/unlock whichever continent you want next. Take note however that the amount needed to unlock each continent vastly differs from one another.

In our case, after unlocking the gold or ruby mine on the Grass Continent, we've opted to unlock the mainland (south most continent) which enabled us to take on the mines there that rewards Crystals -- which in return will enable you to purchase a draw on a random Super Manager. The reason for picking this particular continent is that Super Managers regardless of where they function are simply just a huge help in building your overall mine a whole lot faster.

Below are the requirements on unlocking each continent in the game:

1. Grass Continent (where the Coal Mine is) - pre-unlocked from the start of the game.

2. Mainland Continent (south-most), where you get to unlock Super Managers - costs around 7.14 ac to unlock.

3. Fire Continent - will set you back around 132 ah. You get to collect a unique currency in the fire continent called Fire Cash, which can only be used there as well. Unlocking each of the areas therein will then require either Fire Cash, or the universal "Super Cash", the resource you earn from mining the Grass Continent.

The Fire Continent includes 5 mines:

Amber (unlocked when you unlock the Fire Continent)

Topaz (unlocked for 76 ab)

Sunstone (unlocked for 6 ad)

Platinum (unlocked for 245 ae)

Obsidian (unlocked for 245 ag)

4. Ice Continent - will cost around 7.37 ah to unlock, and similar to the Fire Continent, it houses is own currency called Ice Cash (which is also only valid on the Ice Continent). Unlocking each of the areas therein will then require either Ice Cash, or the universal "Super Cash", the resource you earn from mining the Grass Continent.

The Ice Continent includes 5 mines:

Moonstone (unlocked when you unlock the Ice Continent)

Amethyst (unlocked for 76 ab)

Crystal (unlocked for 6 ad)

Jade (unlocked for 245 ae)

Sapphire (unlocked for 76 ag)
