⛏️ Dive Deep into the Earth

Your mission is thrilling: dig into the underground, collect valuable minerals, and bring them back to the surface for profit. Every descent is a strategic challenge — how far will you risk going before resurfacing?

⛽ Refuel & Sell Your Minerals

Initially, your mining pod has limited range. You’ll need to resurface frequently to refuel and sell your resources. Efficient trips maximize earnings, so plan carefully.

• Fuel tanks ⛽

• Cargo space 📦

• Drills 🛠️

• Engines 🚀

• Hulls 🛡️

• Radiators ❄️

All upgrades are available at the junk shop, next to the repair station. Here, you can fix your hull and purchase one-off items like spare fuel tanks and explosives 💣.

💎 Discover Rare Artifacts & Treasures

With upgraded gear, explore deeper underground for rare gems like platinum and emeralds. Descend beyond -1000 ft and uncover mystical artifacts granting instant $50,000 💰.
