What is a Tycoon in Roblox?
A Tycoon is a specific type of game which you can build on ROBLOX. Players get to build their own base, setup a company or business and based on their skills they upgrade and use the cash to expand their tycoon by building more structures and buying items.
The basics in a ROBLOX tycoon include a machinery (called dropper) that produces bricks, manual labor (such as mining tycoons) and auto cash which is automatically delivered to the player.
