Core Drill

Tap to dig, then let the drills dig

Every tap chips the rock under your bit. Break a block and you drop deeper, through topsoil, clay and sandstone into iron, basalt and magma, where one block is worth more than a whole shift near the surface. Buy drills and they keep working while you are gone. Mind the heat down there: let it max out and the whole shaft stalls until it cools.

How to play

  1. 1Tap anywhere to drill the block under the bit.
  2. 2Spend ore on bit power, auto drills, cart capacity and coolant.
  3. 3At 600 metres, in the crystal vault, collapse the shaft for cores. Every core makes the next dig richer.

What's in it

The meta layer

Cores are the only thing that survive a collapse, and they stack. The first trip down to the crystal vault takes a while. The fourth takes minutes.
