Offline earnings

Overview

Ballin Tycoon keeps earning while you are away. Your ball reserve regenerates on a fixed clock whether the game is open or not, the Ticket Trove keeps printing tickets, the Ball Factory keeps filling its machines, your pets keep cracking Hoard chests and expedition crews keep digging. When you come back, a WELCOME BACK popup adds it all up.

The Welcome Back popup

Coming into the board after a real absence (or with any offline balls to credit) opens the WELCOME BACK card. It is a recap, not a claim screen — the balls are already in your wallet; factory stock and chests still have to be collected in their own menus. One CONFIRM button closes it.

Part of the card	What it shows
Banner	WELCOME BACK, your name and worn title over the title's art, with your character (in the skin you have equipped) standing on the right.
GAME COMPLETION	Your game completion percentage on a bar that fills as the card lands.
YOU WERE AWAY	A flip clock of the time since you were last seen — hours, minutes and seconds, with a days cell once you have been gone a day.
BALLS	Balls regenerated while you were gone, counting up as the tile lands. Reads FULL if you were already at your cap.
IN THE FACTORY	The balls sitting in your Ball Factory machines waiting to be collected (the stock, not just what was made in this absence).
Chests, by tier	One tile per Hoard chest tier your pets finished — "+2 RARE CHEST" — counting banked chests and the live chest if it is ready.

Tiles that would be empty are not drawn, so an account with no factory and no Hoard sees just the balls. The note under the tiles reminds you that offline refills stop at your ball cap.

Chests finished while away

The Hoard works through its chest queue while the app is closed, but it can only bank so many finished chests before it has to wait for you. The base is 1; the Banked Hoard Chest Cap gem upgrade adds one per level and the Ballin Bundle doubles the total.

Banked Hoard Chest Cap	Gems	Chests banked	with the Ballin Bundle
No upgrade	—	1	2
Level 1	2,500	2	4
Level 2	10,000	3	6
Level 3	50,000	4	8
Level 4	250,000	5	10

Chest	Base time to open
COMMON CHEST	1h
RARE CHEST	4h
LEGENDARY CHEST	6h
MYTHIC CHEST	12h
CHAMPION CHEST	1d

Open times are before chest-speed upgrades; see Hoard chests.

Ball regeneration

Below your ball cap, one ball regenerates every 30s — 120 an hour — and the board shows a "+1 in M:SS" countdown to the next one. Regeneration only runs while you are under the cap: it stops at the cap, and if a bin, a quest or a purchase has pushed you above it, it simply waits until you have launched back below the line. Nothing ever takes balls away from you for being over the cap.

While you are away

Offline regeneration is worked out from the moment you were last seen: every full 30s that passed adds one ball, up to your cap — there is no time limit on how long you can be gone, only the cap. It is credited the moment you open the game (and quietly in the background if you leave a tab open), and the board greets you with how many balls you gained. Balls above the cap are left exactly as they were.

• A 500-ball cap fills from empty in 4h 10m; the maximum 1,180-ball cap takes 9h 50m. Longer absences do not earn more balls — a bigger cap does.
• The Ticket Trove keeps generating tickets for up to 12h while you are away, then pauses until you return.
• Pet abilities, portals and bins only fire while balls are actually being launched — they do not run offline.

Ballin’ Potion

The Ballin’ Potion is a bag item that turns regeneration up to one ball every 2s — 1,800 an hour, 15× the normal rate.

Solo

10m — up to 300 balls

Shared with a friend

20m for both of you — up to 600 balls each. Your friend gets a pop-up and their timer starts when they accept.

Stacking

Using another potion while one is running extends the timer

At the cap

The timer freezes while you sit at or above your ball cap, so no potion time is wasted

Time Candy

Time Candy is regeneration you can carry: using one grants the balls that many minutes of normal regeneration would have produced, instantly, and it ignores the cap — the whole grant is banked on top of whatever you hold.

Candy	Time	Balls
30 Minute Candy	30m	60
1 Hour Candy	1h	120
2 Hour Candy	2h	240
4 Hour Candy	4h	480

Tips

• Log in before your cap fills: at 500 balls that is every 4h 10m. Marquee Ball Storage rows are really "sleep longer" upgrades.
• Save Time Candy and potions for when you are ready to play a long session — candy is worth the same at any time, but a potion at the cap goes to waste until you launch.
• The Ticket Trove’s 12h window is the one offline earner with a time limit — check in twice a day to keep it running.
