Build the Pyramid Bulk Pickup: +1 Block, 100 Coins

Bulk Pickup increases the number of blocks you can collect with each pickup, so it should normally be your first Build the Pyramid! upgrade. The researched guide reports a starting cost of 100 Coins and +1 block picked up per tier.

Why it comes first

Pickup happens before every delivery. If each pickup adds a block, every later carry has more value and every Coin-producing placement cycle starts with a larger stack.

That early improvement also helps you earn Coins faster. More blocks delivered means more Coins placed, which accelerates Bulk Place and Placement Range purchases.

How to use it

Hold the interact key to continuously pick up blocks once your volume grows. The collected beginner guide specifically recommends holding E instead of repeatedly tapping.

Buy the next core upgrade when the next tier becomes affordable enough that you are not starving Bulk Place. The exact optimal tier breakpoint is not known, so use session results rather than an invented rule.

What to confirm in-game

Watch your pickup counter before and after a purchase. Record the exact Coin cost and blocks gained if you want a personal benchmark.

Do not assume a maximum from third-party content. The collected research does not provide an official tier cap, so this remains a pending detail.
