Frequently asked questions
What is TerraMine?
TerraMine is a location-based idle mobile app where you buy virtual mines tied to real-world GPS coordinates. Each mine pays monthly rent in TerraBucks that convert to USD.
How does TerraMine make money?
Rewarded ads. Watching optional ads extends your boost and pays TerraBucks. You never have to pay to earn.
How much can I earn on TerraMine?
Community averages suggest ~$10/month at 142 mines, $100/month at 1,419 mines, and $1,000/month at 14,185 mines — all with full-time boost.
What is the 20× boost?
An in-app multiplier that pays 20× base rent while active. Get 4 free per day plus unlimited rewarded ad-boosts.

Four: Rock (60% drop), Coal (30%), Gold (9%), Diamond (1%).
What's the minimum payout?
$5.00 USD (5,000 TerraBucks) via PayPal or gift card.
How do referral codes work?
You and the referee each earn 1,000 TerraBucks when a new player signs up with your code. Ours is TM-UT2LS.
Do mines expire?
After 6 months of no activity, mines stop earning. After 12 months, they're deleted. Any check-in, daily activity, or minigame play resets the timer.
Can I move mines?
No. Mines are permanently tied to the coordinates where they were placed.
What's the best mine to upgrade?
Diamond → Gold → Coal → Rock, lowest level first. Each level adds +1% to rent.
Is TerraMine legit?
Yes — it's a real app with real payouts. Earnings are modest but consistent for active players.
How is TerraMine different from Atlas Earth?
TerraMine has four mine types, minigames, and per-mine upgrade progression. Atlas Earth only has land parcels with rarity tiers.
Does TerraMine Calculator need my TerraMine login?
No. TerraMine Calculator is a fan-made calculator — you enter mine counts manually, or optionally create a free TerraMine Calculator account to save progress.
Is TerraMine Calculator affiliated with TerraMine?
No. TerraMine Calculator is an independent, community-built tool. All game data is community-sourced and verified.
