In the Roblox experience One Block, players extract resources from a singular cube to accumulate currency for upgrades and exploration. While the tutorial covers essentials, this overview tackles overlooked mechanics to optimize early progression.

Currency Farming Techniques

Primary income comes from breaking the central cube, yielding materials worth $3-$60. Enhanced opportunities include:

1. Valuable Deposits: Occasionally spawned mineral nodes (Copper, Diamond, etc.) provide up to $150 each when harvested.
2. Combat Loot: Early raiders drop gold bars worth $150 per kill, with 3-5 strikes eliminating each foe. Surviving waves yields approximately $500+ per encounter.

Acquire a Magnet from the Workbench to optimize item collection during these activities.

Sustenance Management

1. Agricultural Solutions: Purchase a Farm Stand ($1000) and plots to grow fruits. Watermelons offer superior hunger restoration among crops.
2. Culinary Preparation: Process animal drops (chickens, pigs) through the Cooking Pot ($1500), as raw meat negatively impacts hunger.

Tool upgrades occur through:

1. Exploration Rewards: Iron/Gold implements occasionally found in chests during island expeditions.
2. Workshop Crafting: Forge Workbench ($2500) enables purchasing tiers from Stone ($500) to Diamond ($6000) tools, enhancing efficiency.

Premium Currency Acquisition

1. Update Participation: Claim 25 Gems during version launches via Events tab.
2. Longevity Bonus: Earn 1 Gem daily for sustained survival.
3. Combat Endurance: Surviving three-day raids grants 3 Gems regardless of enemy elimination.

Island Progression Strategy

Prioritize four proximate islands containing chests with tools/medical supplies. After securing initial resources, tackle distant territories housing hostile NPCs – optimal with cooperative play for resource gathering.
