Cut a Rock Players & Controls

Cut a Rock is a social incremental even when you never party up. Duality Works capped servers at six players, disabled VIP servers, and scattered personal ticket codes on the floor. This Players Hub covers controls, co-op realities, ticket etiquette, and how to stay efficient when the lobby is full.

Controls cheat sheet

Input	Action
WASD	Move
Space	Jump
E	Interact — pick rocks, collect finished cuts, use stands, grab tickets
F	Teleport to Spawn
Q	Teleport to Home / base area for cutters and upgrades

On mobile, use the on-screen stick and buttons mapped to the same actions. Precision ticket grabs and anvil lining are easier on keyboard, but the progression loop is fully playable on touch.

Memorize F and Q early. Walking full routes with a full backpack wastes the minutes your Day-1 2x Money boost should be funding sells.

Server size and VIP reality

Each public server holds six players. You cannot create a private VIP instance for solo grinding or creator recording. During weather events and NEW UPDATE spikes tracked on the Updates Hub, expect many servers to show 6/6.

Practical consequences:

• Ticket spawns are contested.
• Popular anvils near spawn get crowded.
• Floor break paths can clog if players stand in doorways.
• You will share Room boards’ RNG spectacle — celebrate rares, do not steal unfinished piles mid-interact.

If a server feels dead or toxic, leave and requeue. With only six slots, one AFK blocker is proportionally louder than in 20-player experiences.

Co-op tips that actually help

Cut a Rock is not a traditional raid MMO, but light cooperation still pays:

• Call targets, not orders. “Uncommon on left vein” helps; demanding someone drop their Copper cash plan does not.
• Stagger anvil use. If four players hammer the same anvil, spread to free ones so Power ticks keep flowing.
• Teach new players the collect step. Many stand at a finished cutter without pressing E. A quick tip raises server Cash pace and reduces clogging.
• Share update intel. If Duality Works just flipped a weather banner, point friends to Latest Update instead of vague “event is up” chat spam.
• Align short goals. Duo sessions work well when both chase Copper, Eyesight 2, or a Pocket upgrade together before splitting for Index hunts.

Power, Cash, Index, and pickaxes remain per player. You cannot finish someone else’s Index entry. Cooperation is routing and information, not shared inventory.

Ticket etiquette

Codes are personal numbers on floor tickets with about five minutes to redeem via the top-right Ticket icon. Etiquette keeps lobbies calm:

1. See it, take it, redeem it. Do not hoard a ticket code in chat for later.
2. No spawn camping as a full-time job. Walk a route while mining; pure campers slow their own Copper timing.
3. Do not bait trades for ticket numbers. Codes are account-bound windows, not a currency.
4. If two players lunge, accept the loss. Requeue anger helps nobody.
5. Never paste someone else’s active code elsewhere expecting it to work — personal tickets are not universal promos.

Ticket Cash and Power should still follow Make Money priorities rather than vanity buys.

Movement discipline for full lobbies

• Keep doorways and cutter fronts clear after you press E.
• Use Q after sells instead of weaving through five avatars at the stand.
• When hunting Nova Prism or limited stones, mark your rock visually and finish the interact; do not multi-tag every pile.
• AFK cutting is fine — park where you are not blocking anvils or ticket lanes. See Tools for an AFK checklist.

Reporting and safety

Six-player intimacy means exploiters and scripted flyers are obvious. Prefer Roblox report tools over chat arguments. If you experiment with loadstrings from the Scripts Hub, use alt accounts; public servers will notice impossible clear speeds.

Avoid sharing account credentials for “free carry” offers. Duality Works staff will not ask for passwords in random server chat.

Session templates for groups of 2–6

Twenty-minute sprint: Everyone claims dailies, sweeps tickets once, trains Power for five minutes, then dumps rocks into cutters before logout.

Hour economy night: Pair on Eyesight / Copper goals, compare Pocket levels, then split rooms so Uncommon finds cover more boards.

Event night: Log in at weather window open, collect event stones first, then resume normal Index grinding. Check Updates for end timers.

Master E, F, and Q, respect the six-player cap, and treat tickets as hot potatoes. The mine stays fun when the lobby moves.
