Truck Progression Path
Trucks solve the tycoon scaling problem: walking to forty drills every login does not scale. My Drill Farm offers four truck tiers — Basic Truck (free, slow, low capacity), Delivery Van ($500, medium speed and capacity), Cargo Truck ($5,000, fast, high capacity), and Mega Hauler ($50,000, very fast, max capacity).
Upgrade timing matters. Buy the Delivery Van when manual collection takes more than 30 seconds per login — usually around 15–20 placed drills. The Cargo Truck becomes relevant when Ruby-tier drills push individual tile earnings high enough that missed collections hurt reinvestment timing. The Mega Hauler is endgame infrastructure for 50+ tile mega-plots.
Trucks pair with the Auto Collect Game Pass (99 R$). If you own Auto Collect, trucks become quality-of-life visuals and backup systems rather than necessities. Without the pass, trucks are your primary automation layer and worth prioritizing over cosmetic skins.
Luck Totem Strategy
Luck Totems shift crate RNG toward rare drills and mutations. Luck Totem I ($1,000, +5%) is your first purchase when transitioning from Wood-only spam to Gold and Ruby opens. Luck Totem II ($10,000, +15%) is the workhorse for serious mutation hunting. Luck Totem III ($100,000, +30%) is Mega Crate territory — buy it only when a single Ruby miss no longer bankrupts you.
Placement is non-negotiable: totems must sit where crates are opened. If you buy crates remotely via UI but open them at a physical dock, place totems at the dock. Moving a totem costs time and confusion — plan your plot with a permanent "crate zone" in one corner.
Luck Totems stack with the 2x Mutation Chance Game Pass (199 R$) and VIP luck perks (299 R$). Activate all three before a bulk Mega Crate session. Community players report noticeably higher Golden and Diamond mutation rates with full luck stacking, though exact numbers are not published by Handcrafted Games.
Speed Totems and CPS Boosting
The Speed Totem ($25,000) provides +20% CPS to drills within its radius. Unlike Luck Totems that affect crate opens, Speed Totems buff already-placed drills. Station your Mythic and Cosmic mutation drills adjacent to the Speed Totem for a permanent 20% income lift on your best tiles.
Speed Totems do not affect offline earnings multipliers differently from active earnings — the +20% applies universally to placed drills in range. Combine with Diamond skins (15x) on the same tiles for compounded returns. Do not place Speed Totems over empty plots waiting for future drills; buff champions first.
If budget forces a choice between Luck Totem III and Speed Totem, pick luck when you are still rolling crates for better drills. Pick speed when your plot is stabilized with endgame earners and additional CPS percent matters more than another mutation chase.
Integrated Automation Setup
The dream endgame setup: Mega Hauler truck on auto-route, Auto Collect Game Pass active, Speed Totem centered on your top six drills, Luck Totem III beside the crate dock, 2x Money and 2x Crate Speed passes running. Login becomes collect, buy Mega Crate, open, place, logout — under 90 seconds.
Budget sequencing for free-to-play players: Basic Truck → Luck Totem I → Delivery Van → Luck Totem II → Cargo Truck → save for Ruby crate fund → Speed Totem → Luck Totem III → Mega Hauler. This path balances automation with RNG investment.

Frequently Asked Questions
What do trucks do in Make a Drill Farm?
Trucks automatically drive collection routes across your plot, gathering cash from drills without manual walking. Higher truck tiers move faster and carry more capacity per trip.
Which truck should I buy first?
Start with the free Basic Truck for early automation. Upgrade to the Delivery Van ($500) when your plot exceeds 15–20 drills, then save for the Cargo Truck ($5,000) and Mega Hauler ($50,000) as your CPS scales.
What do Luck Totems do?
Luck Totems increase the chance of rolling rare drills and mutations when opening crates nearby. Luck Totem I gives +5%, II gives +15%, and III gives +30% rare chance.
Where should I place Luck Totems?
Place totems directly next to your crate opening area or shop delivery zone so every crate you open benefits from the luck radius. Do not scatter totems across the plot away from where you actually open crates.
Is the Speed Totem worth buying?
The Speed Totem ($25,000) grants +20% CPS to nearby placed drills. It is worth buying after Luck Totem II when your plot has high-value drills stationed near your core farming zone — not before you have strong earners to boost.
Do trucks replace the Auto Collect Game Pass?
They overlap but do not fully replace each other. Auto Collect (99 R$) instantly banks all drill cash globally. Trucks add visual automation and help during active play. Many endgame players use both for zero manual collection.
