Mine a Planet Updates & Event Timeline
The documented event history of Mine a Planet, the current status of the listing, and the pages most likely to move after each patch.
Current status (checked 2026-10-06)
The official Roblox listing now reads [🌎] Drill a Planet — the experience was renamed from Mine a Planet in the October 6, 2026 listing update (same place 121125129560252, same Skydog Games creator, description still mining-centric, and the old /Mine-a-Planet link redirects to /Drill-a-Planet). The numbered BETA line ended with the back-to-back BETA 7→10 events of July–August 2026 and an unnamed placeholder event (August 9–15); since then the title has carried rotating boost tags. The official Admin Weekend window (October 3, 17:00 UTC to October 4, 17:00 UTC, subtitle BOOSTS, rewards unannounced) has ended as of this check — record on the Admin Weekend page; the fan tracker additionally lists an October 10–11 window. Re-check the title before planning a session, because the rename shows how far one listing update can move the name.
Code status is quiet: all seven collected strings (latest: EARTH for a UFO CPU) remained on no expired list at the October 6, 2026 recheck — the October 2026 tracker editions list the same register — after PCGamesN reported no new codes in the ~two months before September 25, 2026. Skydog Games has never shipped formal patch notes, so the timeline below attributes every entry to the source that recorded it.

FAQ
Update questions
What is the latest Mine a Planet update?
The biggest recent change is not a patch: the official Roblox listing was renamed to [🌎] Drill a Planet in the October 6, 2026 update — same place (121125129560252), same Skydog Games creator, still-mining description, and the old link redirects. Before that, the title carried rotating boost tags (it read [X2 WEEKEND] at our October 3, 2026 check). The numbered BETA line ended with BETA 7→10 (July–August 2026); the official Admin Weekend window (October 3–4 UTC, subtitle BOOSTS) has ended, and the fan tracker additionally lists an October 10–11 window.
What was BETA 9: Overclocked?
The July 25–31, 2026 event, named on the official Roblox event record. Fan write-ups describe announced mutation crafting, new weather, and incident events — announced as names, without rates or recipes.
Does Mine a Planet get weekly updates?
It did through the BETA line: named events ran back-to-back from July 12 (BETA 7) through mid-August. Since then the cadence has shifted to boost tags and weekend events rather than numbered patches.
When do new codes arrive?
SuperCheats says new strings typically ship with major updates, holidays, community milestones, or downtime apologies. PCGamesN noted no new codes for nearly two months before its September 25, 2026 refresh; EARTH (UFO CPU) is the newest collected string.
