CYPX Mining

CYPX Mining is one of the passive game mechanics and ways to earn CYPX.

Mechanics

To mine CPYX, players must craft a mining rig and own an apartment (→Cyberia Estate). Within the "Add" menu of their apartment, players must first craft the frame. Once the frame is placed within the apartment, the mining interface becomes accessible. To initiate the mining operation, the frame must be equipped with at least a motherboard, a PSU (Power Supply Unit), a cooling device, and one GPU (Graphics Processing Unit). Additional GPUs and a CPU are optional. Upon activating the rig, CPYX will be mined at a predetermined rate per hour. However, the rig consumes electricity, which must be paid once it reaches the maximum value. The maximum value depends on the size of the apartment. If the electricity meter hits its maximum, mining will cease until the electricity bill is settled. Players can adjust their rig setup to influence how much CYPX is mined and how frequently the bill must be paid. Refer to Configuration Examples.

Apartment Size	Max Electricity
Small	100
Medium	200
Large	300
Penthouse/Yacht	500

Interface

Components

Mining rig components can be crafted from materials found in the dumpsters around the city (→ Exploring) and on Cave Island in the mines (→ Ore Mining). Each component has three tiers. Check crafting recipies here: (→ Crafting).

Cooling System

This system reduces the total heat generated by a certain percentage.

Tier	Cooling System	Reduction
1	Cooling System V1	20%
2	Cooling System V2	40%
3	Cooling System V3	60%

CPU

A better CPU provides additional percentage bonuses for mining.

Tier	CPU	Bonus
1	NovaCore Lite CPU	5%
2	Quantum Boost 5000 CPU	10%
3	TechnoCore Ultra-XT CPU	15%

Motherboard

The higher the quality of the motherboard, the more slots become available in the mining rig for GPUs, allowing for up to three GPUs.

Tier	CPU	GPU Slots
1	Powertech Light Motherboard	1
2	TitanTech-101 Motherboard	2
3	CyberSynthetiX Motherboard	3

PSU

Essential for operating the mining rig, but each PSU adds a certain percentage of heat.

Tier	CPU	Heat added
1	ProCharge PSU	20%
2	SynthWave Pro PSU	30%
3	QuantumBoost 3000 PSU	40%

GPU

Each GPU type adds a specific percentage of heat. The maximum heat tolerance for mining rigs is 100%. Beyond this, the rig will not mine. However, better GPUs mine considerable more CYPX.

Tier	CPU	Heat added	CYPX/h
1	Cybervision X-Gen 1000	35%	0.5
2	Cybervision X-Gen 2000	45%	1
3	Cybervision X-Gen 3000	60%	1.5

Configuration Examples

The following table gives an overview of how much CYPX can be mined per hour/day and how long the mining rig can run until the electricity bill has to be paid. Of course, there are many more combinations imaginable. The higher the electricity consumption of the rig and the smaller the apartment, the more often the player has to go to their apartment to pay the bill. 100 units of electricity cost 1 CYPX.

Formula is: CYPX per GPU * GPU Slots * CPU Bonus.
