Nuke a City Guides and Walkthroughs

This hub is the map for every walkthrough on the wiki. Nuke a City covers the free Roblox idle tycoon listed as Nuke Your City by Nuclear Fun, live since 16 March 2026. You join a six-player server, claim a personal base, and share one city with whoever else loaded in. Droppers fill explosives toward 100 EXP, you load a rocket, Control launches the nuke, cash funds upgrades, and Rebirth buys Research. Use the pages below in order if you just spawned, or jump to the loop that is currently stalling you.

First hour on a new plot

Start with Getting Started before you buy a second machine. That page is the first-hour checklist: claim a plot, use the free manual dropper, reach the first 100 EXP, fire the first rocket, spend the first cash, and decide when plot expand is worth the bill. It also tells you to redeem code BOOM through the ABX icon or the bottom of the shop before you pop crate boosts on a pad that still ticks once per click. Offline growth keeps filling explosives while you are logged out, so a short first session is not a wasted session.

How to launch a nuke

The How to Launch a Nuke guide is the mechanical core. Wait until the explosive hits 100 EXP, interact with the rocket to load it, then press Control to fire. After launch you can steer the blast toward dense blocks instead of empty grass. Cash scales with EXP at the moment of launch, so a fat warhead pays more than three thin ones. A full city wipe is a milestone, not a tax: if suburbs still stand, you needed more EXP or a better aim, not a panic purchase. Pair that page with Controls and HUD if the Control prompt never appears.

How to make money fast

Cash is a byproduct of blast size. How to Make Money Fast compares upgrading the pad you already own versus planting a new one, why the nuclear dropper dominates late, and when to sit idle versus firing during cooldown. Fountain and fuse help the pipeline; poison is unlocked with plot expand and still loses to nuclear. Early community prices put a nuclear dropper near 85k and a rebirth statue near 1.5 million, but those tags move as your run inflates. Use that guide when launches feel busy and the wallet does not.

Rebirth and Research

When upgrades barely move the next fill, read Rebirth and Research. The statue resets machines, cash, fuse progress, and the base layout. You keep Research. Players commonly report about five Research points per rebirth. Spend the first points on money multipliers, then walk speed, extra explosives, and later totems or potions. Redeem working codes before you confirm the wipe so Playtime Points and crates are not sitting unused on a base you are about to delete.

Controls, codes, and rankings

If buttons, pads, or the ABX icon are the problem, open Controls and HUD. It covers movement and interact on PC, mobile, and Xbox, the Control launch step, shop scrolling, dropper buttons, and why some players talk about auto clickers on the free manual pad. For spend order after you understand the loop, use the Tier List Hub instead of guessing which machine looks cool. Codes live on the Codes Hub; Nuclear Fun posts extras on Discord.

Fuse, plot expand, and idle fill

Three extra loops sit beside the first-hour map. How to fuse explosives is the insert-and-wait pad that doubles EXP when you can spare a bag. Plot expand is the land buy that unlocks nuclear, poison, and the rebirth statue — buy it when nuclear is the next purchase, not when the button lights up. Offline progress is the listing promise that droppers keep filling while you are logged out; rockets, codes, and fuse still need a live session. Open those when the first-hour page starts repeating itself.

How to use this hub

Read one guide per problem. The first-hour page is for spawn confusion. The launch page is for rockets that never fire or blasts that miss the skyline. The money page is for slow cash. The rebirth page is for plateaus. The controls page is for HUD and input. Come back after a reset, because a nuclear dropper that felt optional before Research multipliers becomes the whole factory afterward. Servers are online and shared, not split-screen: other people can crater the same city you are aiming at, so a routine that worked on an empty server may need a wider blast when five other rockets are already in the air.

Treat the hub as a map you reopen, not a checklist you finish once. After a rebirth, jump back to money and Research. After a code drop, claim BOOM before you spend crate time. After a messy launch, fix steering before you buy another pad. The city rebuilds; your plot does not have to be rebuilt on a whim.
