Mine a Planet event
Mine a Planet Admin Boosts: Schedule, Start Times & Next Countdown
Admin Boosts is the weekly boost session in Mine a Planet, the Skydog Games digging hit that has drawn well over about 22,000,000 visits and holds more than about 520,000 favorites, with a few thousand players (about 3,300) mining through its servers at any given moment. Every Saturday the developers switch on a run of game-wide boosts, handing everyone in the servers a short, dependable window to push their progress faster than the usual grind allows.
It runs on a set rhythm rather than as a one-off, so a missed Saturday is never a big loss: another comes around the following week. The next Admin Boosts is scheduled for Saturday, August 29 at 12:55 PM ET, and the countdown to it along with the usual weekly time sit on the card below.

How often Admin Boosts runs
Admin Boosts is a weekly fixture, landing every Saturday at 12:55 PM ET. Unlike some events that stagger several daily slots, this one keeps a single weekly time, so the whole player base tends to gather in the same window. Because that window is fixed in Eastern Time, here is roughly when it starts around the world (clocks shift by an hour in regions observing daylight saving):
| Region | Local start time |
|---|---|
| US Pacific | 9:55 AM Saturday |
| US Eastern | 12:55 PM Saturday |
| UK | 5:55 PM Saturday |
| Central Europe | 6:55 PM Saturday |
| India (IST) | 10:25 PM Saturday |
| Japan (JST) | 1:55 AM Sunday |
| Sydney (AEST) | 2:55 AM Sunday |
For players in the Americas the timing is comfortably midday or morning; across Europe it falls in the evening; and in much of Asia and Australia it lands late at night or in the small hours, which is worth planning around.
What happens during Admin Boosts
As the name implies, this is the stretch when the team steps in and powers up the servers for everyone at once. The specifics are set by the developers each week, but the shape of the event stays the same:
- Server-wide boosts switch on for the duration of the window, applying to everyone in the game rather than a lucky few.
- There is nothing to buy or claim beforehand — simply being in a server while the boosts are active is enough.
- The perks are temporary: once the window closes, rates settle back to normal until the next Saturday.
Because the boosts stack on top of your usual mining, the window is the most efficient time of the week to make progress, which is exactly why it draws a crowd.
Tips for catching it
- If you are in the Americas or Europe, the Saturday slot is easy to reach live — jump in a few minutes before 12:55 PM ET so you are already digging when it starts.
- Players in Asia or Australia should set a reminder, since the event falls overnight local time.
- Missing a week costs little: the boosts return the following Saturday, every Saturday.
How Admin Boosts fits Mine a Planet’s rhythm
Mine a Planet grows through numbered beta drops — Beta Update 10 is among the most recent — that add new content in larger, less frequent bursts. Admin Boosts is the steady beat running underneath those releases: where the beta updates change what the game contains, the weekly boost session gives regulars a reliable reason to log in on the same day every week, no matter where the update cycle happens to be.
