Special Features

Special Ores

As you collect blue star tokens, you can unlock skills that make your progression in the game more effective. One of the upgrades in the Machinery tab (found in the skill level menu), is the Special Ore License. This allows you to mine special ore, which slowly accumulates coins while you play. Once you have unlocked this skill, go back to Special Ores and you’ll see a pop-up asking you to spend Gems to start extracting.

Conveyor Belt

Set up conveyor belts to move rocks automatically inside your mine. Once set up, you can choose a direction, place rocks, and watch them move. The rocks will drop off the belt at the end of the ride.

Rock Transformer

The Rock Transformer is a skill available in your skill menu. Once unlocked, it can be purchased from the Shop. It is used to transform one type of rock into another. You can place the Rock Transformer in your mine once obtained and use it in combination with the conveyor belt for efficiency. Here are some of the most notable features of this tool:

  • First rock placed inside determines the output type.
  • You can reset the rock type by kicking the Transformer.
  • It has 100 total uses.

For example, at certain parts of the mine, you will find giant clusters of grey rocks. If you kick them, an explosion will not be triggered. To destroy these rocks, you will need to use the Rock Transformer.
