Mine a Planet event
Mine a Planet Admin Weekend: Schedule, Start Times & Next Countdown
Mine a Planet is a long-running mining and exploration game from Skydog Games, with about 24,000,000 visits and about 560,000 favorites to its name. Admin Weekend is the studio’s standing community event: the people who build the game drop into live servers to play alongside everyone else, and it returns on a steady weekly rhythm rather than as a one-off.
Admin Weekend runs weekly , and it has already come back 8 times. The next session is set for Saturday, October 24 at 1 PM ET . Because it repeats on the same weekend slot, you can plan around it week to week. The next start time and the usual times are on the card below.

How often Admin Weekend runs
Admin Weekend lands every week, and it does not use a single start time. It runs across a few set windows so players in different parts of the world can all catch a session at a reasonable hour. All times below are in US Eastern (ET):
| Day | Start time (ET) |
|---|---|
| Friday | 1:00 PM ET |
| Saturday | 12:55 PM ET |
| Saturday | 1:00 PM ET |
The multiple windows exist to cover a global player base. A slot that sits in the early afternoon on the US East Coast falls in the evening across the UK and Europe and overnight in India, Japan and Australia, so spreading the event over Friday and Saturday gives most time zones a workable entry point. The 1:00 PM ET slot, for example, is roughly 10:00 AM on the US West Coast, about 6:00 PM in the UK, around 7:00 PM in central Europe, 10:30 PM in India, and the small hours of the next morning in Japan and eastern Australia.
What happens during Admin Weekend
The appeal of Admin Weekend is direct contact with the team behind the game. During the event the developers join public servers and play through Mine a Planet with whoever is online, which gives regular players a rare chance to mine alongside an admin and see how the people running the servers actually play.
- The studio’s developers active in live servers, playing with the community
- An open window to meet the team and ask questions in person
- A natural companion to the game’s Admin Boosts promotions, making active weekends a good time to push progress
Tips for catching it
Pick the window that lands at a civil hour for you rather than forcing a specific one. For most players in the Americas and Europe, the Friday and Saturday 1:00 PM ET slots are the easiest to make. If you want to be in the server the moment the admins arrive, set a reminder for a few minutes ahead using the next start time on the card. And if a given weekend slips past you, there is no need to scramble — the event comes back on the same schedule the following week.
How it fits the game’s rhythm
Mine a Planet’s event history leans heavily on admin-driven moments. The studio has run its Admin Boosts promotions on several occasions and marked progress with milestone drops such as Beta Update 10, but Admin Weekend is the recurring anchor among them — the one event you can count on returning at the same time every week rather than appearing once and ending.
