OrbitTycoon guide: run a starbase and claim USDT
OrbitTycoon takes the Scrapper idea into orbit. Your starbase idle-mines Starcoins, paid out as USDT to FaucetPay, and Ore, which grows your fleet. It paid me on Oct 23, 2026 and moved to the main list on Oct 25. Here's how it works, from my own starbase. (OrbitTycoon's developer is a partner of mine; it gets the same scorecard as every other site.)
The core loop in 30 seconds
- Sign in with your FaucetPay email. No password, private key or seed.
- Split your hashrate between Starcoins (what you withdraw) and Ore (what grows the fleet).
- Spend Ore on ships and new outposts, so every outpost mines faster for good.
- Keep your fleet topped up, and claim Starcoins to FaucetPay from 0.5 Starcoins.
Split mining: Starcoins or Ore?
Use the − and + buttons to choose where your hashrate goes. Early on, Ore builds the starbase faster, and every outpost you add raises your hashrate permanently. I run 10% Starcoins and 90% Ore right now, because I'm still unlocking outposts. Shift toward Starcoins once your starbase is bigger. You can change the split any time, and you can also convert claimable Starcoins into Ore.
Outposts and ships
There are 32 outposts. The first is free, and each new one costs more Ore to unlock and adds more hashrate than the last (outpost #04 costs 44 Ore; the last ones cost 60,000). Inside each outpost you add ships (up to 10 per outpost, +12 H/s each) with three Ore buys:
| Buy | Ore | Ships |
|---|---|---|
| 📡 Ore Scanner | 6 | +1 |
| 📦 Cargo Pods | 20 | +4 |
| 🛸 Mining Frigate | 60 | +15 |
Fill an outpost, then save for the next unlock.
Raiders: defend your fleet
This is the one thing to watch. Your fleet holds up to 100 ships, and raiders destroy about 4 ships an hour. Every outpost mines at your fleet's strength, so a half-empty fleet means half-speed mining. The game shows how long until it's empty.
Earn activities send reinforcements:
- 📦 Supply drop: free Ore plus a little Starcoins.
- 📺 Short ads: a little Ore and Starcoins each.
- 🎡 Spin every 4 hours, plus 🎁 Bonus Wall, 💵 MoneyRain, 🧭 Offerwall.me and 📣 User Ads.
Visit at least every 48 hours. After 48 hours away, your fleets stop mining completely (0%) until you return.
Your starbase: permanent upgrades
Spend mined Starcoins on three station modules for permanent bonuses:
- ⚛️ Fusion Reactor (50 levels): more hashrate.
- 🏗️ Shipyard (25 levels): more upgrade points per part.
- 🏭 Ore Refinery (25 levels): more Ore.
Same choice as everywhere in this family: cash the Starcoins out, or reinvest them.
Daily extras
- 🔥 Daily streak: one visit a day, with bigger bonuses toward day 7.
- ✅ Daily quests: spin the wheel, claim a supply drop, earn Ore from PTC, upgrade an outpost and complete 3 Bonus Wall tasks.
- 🤝 Referrals: 10% of a friend's Ore once they unlock their first outpost.
Cashing out
Hit Claim once you have at least 0.5 Starcoins. They're paid as USDT straight to FaucetPay, and the game publishes every payout with its FaucetPay ID. The amounts are tiny: my Oct 23 claim of 3.17 Starcoins landed as 0.00003167 USDT. See it on my OrbitTycoon review and payout proof page.
The mining is a simulated game loop: it doesn't use your device to mine anything, and rewards come from the operator's own wallet. VIP is optional. The rules: one account per person or household, and no VPNs, proxies or datacenter IPs. Sign-ups and withdrawals through them are blocked.

FAQ
Is OrbitTycoon free?
Yes. You can play and withdraw without paying. VIP is optional.
Does OrbitTycoon mine while I'm offline?
Yes, but raiders shrink your fleet over time, which slows mining, and after 48 hours away your fleets stop mining until you come back.
How do I withdraw from OrbitTycoon?
Claim your Starcoins once you have 0.5 or more. They're paid as USDT to your FaucetPay account.
Can I play OrbitTycoon and AntTycoon on one account?
Yes. Both sign in with your FaucetPay email, and the Switch faucet menu moves between them.
Why can't I sign up with a VPN?
OrbitTycoon blocks VPNs, proxies and datacenter IPs for sign-ups and withdrawals to keep bot farms out.
