Atlas Earth FAQ

Common questions about Atlas Earth earnings, boosts, and strategies

How much does a single parcel earn in Atlas Earth?

It depends on the parcel's rarity. Base rates per second (unboosted):

  • Common (50% chance): $0.0000000011/sec (~$0.000095/day)
  • Rare (30% chance): $0.0000000016/sec (~$0.000138/day)
  • Epic (15% chance): $0.0000000022/sec (~$0.000190/day)
  • Legendary (5% chance): $0.0000000044/sec (~$0.000380/day)

On average, a parcel earns about $0.000136/day with no boost. With boosts, this gets multiplied significantly. Use our calculator to see your projected earnings.

How do ad boosts work?

Watching an ad gives you +1 hour of boosted rent at your current tier multiplier. You can stack up to 6 hours and watch about 20 ads per day, giving you roughly 20 hours of boost coverage.

Your boost multiplier depends on how many parcels you own, it ranges from 30x (1-150 parcels) down to 2x (1,501+ parcels). See the full boost tier breakdown.

What is Super Rent Boost (SRB)?

SRB is a limited-time global event where all parcels earn at 50x their base rent, regardless of your normal boost tier. Events typically last ~32 hours and happen about twice per month.

SRB replaces (not multiplies) your normal boost. So if you normally boost at 10x, during SRB you earn 50x, not 500x. Learn more and estimate your SRB earnings.

Is Atlas Earth worth it?

It depends on your expectations. Atlas Earth generates very small amounts of real money, even with hundreds of parcels and active boosting, daily earnings are measured in fractions of a cent to a few cents.

That said, it's essentially passive income that requires minimal effort (watching a few ads daily). Many players enjoy the collecting and gamification aspects alongside the small earnings. The key is to not expect life-changing income, think of it as a fun side hobby that pays pocket change.

Why did my boost multiplier drop?

Your ad boost multiplier is tied to how many parcels you own. When you cross certain parcel thresholds, your multiplier drops to the next tier. For example, going from 150 to 151 parcels drops you from 30x to 20x.

This is by design, Atlas Earth uses a tiered system with diminishing returns to keep earnings roughly balanced. Tip: avoid crossing a tier boundary unless you have enough Atlas Bucks to buy parcels deep into the new tier.

What are badges and how do they affect earnings?

Badges are passport stamps collected for visiting different cities, states, and countries. They give a permanent percentage bonus to all rent (including boosted and SRB rent):

  • Level 1 (1 badge): +5%
  • Level 2 (11 badges): +10%
  • Level 3 (31 badges): +15%
  • Level 4 (61 badges): +20%
  • Level 5 (101 badges): +25%

Badge bonuses multiply with your boost. So a 30x boost with Level 5 (+25%) gives you an effective 37.5x. Read the full badge guide.

How many ads can I watch per day?

You can typically watch about 20 ads per day, which gives you roughly 20 hours of boost coverage (1 ad = +1 hour). To cover the remaining 4 hours, you'd need to spend Atlas Bucks. Most free-to-play calculations assume 20 hours of boost per day.

Does SRB stack with my normal boost?

No, SRB replaces your normal boost multiplier with 50x for the duration of the event. It does not multiply on top of it. When the SRB event ends, your boost reverts to your normal tier multiplier. However, badge bonuses do still stack multiplicatively with SRB (e.g., 50x with +25% badges = 62.5x effective).

What's the maximum number of parcels for SRB?

During SRB events, only the first 150,000 parcels receive the full 50x boost. Any parcels beyond 150,000 earn at your normal tier rate (2x for anyone with that many). This cap only affects extreme high-end players, most people will never hit it.

Should I buy parcels or badges first?

It depends on where you are. Early on, parcels give you more absolute income since badges only boost what you already earn. But there are key moments where badges are better:

  • When buying more parcels would drop your boost tier
  • When you're close to a badge level threshold (e.g., 10 badges → 11 for +10%)
  • When you're in the 2x tier, badges become one of the few ways to increase earnings

The first badge (Level 1, +5%) is always worth getting immediately.
