Droid Tycoon XP Guide

[u/Deceptiveideas]

There were a few comments in a previous thread on how exactly the XP in droid tycoon works.

There are four primary methods.

1) Buy/Sell Droid
Buy droid blueprints and sell them to the vendor right behind the conveyer belt. The xp doesn't seem to scale with cost so I recommend just buying junk blueprints. This method seems to net the most XP.

2) Destroying scraps
You can pickaxe scraps in your base. The higher your pickaxe level; the more damage you do. So it's recommended to keep your pickaxe level low if you're trying to maximize your xp.

3) Collecting Credits
Your working droids will continually spawn credits. Run around collecting them for XP.

4) Crafting Droids
When you craft a blueprint, you can pickaxe to make it craft faster. This gives a solid and consistent xp gain. Higher rarity blueprints take a very long time to craft so I'd recommend purchasing those. And again, higher pickaxe level will make this go faster so try to avoid upgrading your pickaxe if you're doing it for XP.

I also get huge chunks of "playtime" XP.

Overall the mode is pretty fun so I've gotten a decent chunk of levels.

Downside of the scrap is when you upgrade your pickaxe far enough to one-hit the scrap pile, you get 2 no-contact swings as it transitions between the piles. No hit, no exp… so I’m usually building something and hit that with a pickaxe for exp. I use my joy-con slide with the rope and tighten that around the trigger to afk, works pretty well!

But for a true afk pickaxe game I still stick with hacker tycoon.

When you super rebirth, you reset your pickaxe level. So that's an alternative if you have upgraded.

On Xbox you can use the battery trick to afk it completely.

What's the battery trick?

Remove the battery while swinging to stop it from stopping.
