Tips

Getting started

• Flag first. Without a home base there is no selling, no supplies, no healing.
• Trees are money. A big deciduous tree gives up to 7 wood in the sawmill. Chopping with E E takes about 8 seconds.
• No fall damage. Jump into holes freely. Dangerous are flints, fire, acid and water over your head.
• Hold or tap. Holding is the default. In the settings you can switch to tapping like the original: the digger then keeps walking until you press S.

For gold

• Elevator before tunnel. An elevator digs its own shaft and brings lorries up.
• Keep your distance. Throw flints from a safe spot, ideally diagonally down into the vein.
• T-flints for precision. The timer gives you 60 ticks (about 1.7 seconds) to run.
• Lorry, not legs. A lorry holds 50 objects. Fill it, ride the elevator, push it into the base.

For the crew

• Spread the experience. Let different diggers dig and build so several get promoted.
• Pack mule from rank 3 carries two items, foreman from rank 4 builds faster and speeds up others.
• Injured into the base. They heal and refill their energy there.

Watch the wind

The windmill gives more or less power depending on the wind. For sawmill and workshop, a coal power plant pays off later.
