Every ore pays.
Swing a pickaxe through stone and caves. Coal and copper near the surface, gold, ruby and crystal far below. Better picks reach richer veins.

Mine ore, sell it at the Uplink, and buy the guns you'll need when the creatures come out at night. No download, no install. It runs on an everyday laptop.
Every trip underground pays for the next upgrade, and every upgrade lets you dig deeper. Then the sun goes down.
Swing a pickaxe through stone and caves. Coal and copper near the surface, gold, ruby and crystal far below. Better picks reach richer veins.

Open the shop anywhere and turn your haul into coins. Smelt ore into ingots at a furnace first and it sells for nearly double.
Pistols, shotguns, a scoped rifle, a mining laser that cuts through rock and a rocket launcher that reshapes it. Plus armor, medkits and blast charges.
Crawlers, brutes, skitters, bone archers and blastcaps hunt in the dark. Light your tunnels, build a door, and keep your shotgun loaded.

Everything is bought with coins you dig up yourself. Every gun has its own magazine, recoil, reload and sound.

The world generates as you explore it, with villages, traders and ore veins waiting to be found.
Lay sticks and ingots out in the shape of the tool at a crafting table. Repair worn gear at an anvil.
Swift, Prospector, Keen, Sturdy: carve runes into your tools and weapons at the Rune Table.
Place a bed and it's your home. Name more spots with /sethome cave and jump back with /home cave.
Mining, woodcutting and fighting level up as you play. Fell whole trees with one swing once your axe work is good enough.
