By Drill to Earth’s Core 🎃👻 WikiLast updated:

Cores are the lobby currency. They buy classes, lobby chests, and a random passive copied from another class you own. Coins are the separate currency you earn inside a run.

In a run

Chests pay 0.2 more Cores per layer broken, multiplied by the chest tier.

Chest Multiple After 1 layer After 5 layers After 10 layers
Wooden 1x 0.2 1 2
Golden 2x 0.4 2 4
Diamond 5x 1 5 10
Void 10x 2 10 20

Boss walls pay 10 more Cores per layer broken. The Grass boss wall pays none. Daily quests and a Cores Boost are named as lobby sources, but no payout number is published for either.

Badges and codes

Badges pay once. Published badge rewards that name a number run from 5 to 1,750 Cores, and one summed list of every badge that has a listed reward totals 9,535 Cores. That sum is not a promise that every badge on the Roblox page pays Cores. The Group Member badge is listed at 30 Cores for joining the Game Name. group. A separate October 2026 code article describes 50 Cores for joining the group, liking the game, and confirming at a sign near the bank. Those are different instructions, so treat 30 and 50 as two reported rewards, not one confirmed number.

GAMENAME pays 500 Cores once. TRICKORTREAT is listed at 500 Cores on several pages dated 17–18 October 2026. Codes for Dig to Earth's CORE! do not work here.

Use the Cores shortfall calculator when you know the price and your balance. Leave the per-unit field at 1.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Drill to Earth's Core?

It is a free Roblox co-op descent by the Game Name. group. A party rides one drill through named layers, fights enemies, loots structures, and spends coins on upgrade cards. A normal run ends at the Glowing Core boss wall at 100 km.

Is Drill to Earth's Core the same game as Dig to Earth's CORE!?

No. Dig to Earth's CORE! is a different Roblox game by Slime Mine Studios. Codes such as UPDATEHYPE, INDIGO, and DIGGEM5000 belong to that game and do not redeem here.

What should a new player buy first?

Miner is described as one of two classes a new player can take for free on the first join. Both Tier 1 classes are listed at 100 Cores if you buy them later. After that, Witch is the highest-ranked 3,000 Core class on the 25 September 2026 board, and Lucky Looter at 10,000 Cores is the usual loot follow-up.

How many players share a server?

A public listing read on 19 October 2026 caps the server at 20 players. Party setup notes say a party holds 1 to 8. Older pages that say 30 players disagree with that listing.
