So you have decided to start with mining. You have heard that many treasures lie down below the surface, so you
can't wait to find out what you can find. Maybe you can become rich?
There's you, and your Auto-Mining-Device. Let's get started!
This also acts as s sort of guide. If something is unclear, look into here as a reference.
You mined your first piece of Mud! Well, it's not worth a lot, but you've got to start somewhere.
Just some ordinary Mud
Even 2 $ can be a good start. Maybe you should try to mine something more precious?
You take your Pickaxe and proceed to hit some old homework with it (You didn't need it anymore, anyways).
Paper (Your old Homework)
For some reason it was worth a whopping 10 $! It seems like you've got the hang of it. Unfortunately, you also find out
that it was kind of resistent to your pickaxe, so you need to craft a better one to keep growing. Luckily you have this rusty
Blacksmith at home (for whatever reason). It doesnt look good enough though. You should try to Upgrade it.
How do I get Gems?
Every time you mine something, there is a chance that you will be awarded a Gem, used to craft Pickaxes.
Stats, Stats, Stats...
Some general Tips: Every Mineral has defense, which is an absolute reduction to click and idle damage.
To find out what's the most efficient to mine, look at where Money/s and Money per Click are the highest.
More gems/s mean that you can get gems faster to craft new Pickaxes. The base Damage of a pickaxe is calculated
by multiplying its power with the quality (for example: 1,000 * 150% = 1,500). After that, Active and Idle Power
Upgrades are applied.
Just a little improvement to your Blacksmith makes it seem much stronger!
Blacksmith Power!
You should try to craft a new Pickaxe. You only need one Gem to do it! Luckily you have a few of them at home. You don't
remember when you got them, they are just here for some reason. After crafting, you should try your luck with salt.
When should I craft?
The power and quality of a pickaxe is based on Blacksmith Upgrades. The resulting power and quality will be random,
but will at least be as much as the minimum power and quality.
You take out all the salt from your kitchen drawer, and start to hammer on it with your newly crafted Pickaxe. It works
surpisingly well, you think.
Salt (from your Kitchen Drawer)
22 $! That is sure a lot. You could buy some Games from it, or you take it serious and invest the money into your blacksmith.
You go to a nearby lake and dig out some clay.
Clay (fresh from the Lake)
It's already worth 50 $! That's much more than salt. Of course it was tougher, but the reward speaks for itself.
There's a Cave nearby. This is where the real adventure will start. Maybe you should improve your blacksmith a bit more and get a
new Pickaxe before proceeding.
Of course, the first thing you see when entering the cave is Stone and Rocks. And there is sure a lot of it. There is so much to be mined...
Rock (from the cave entrance)
120 $! Not bad at all. You see a big growth coming. Venture deeper into the Cave and mine better and better stuff. Don't forget
to buy Upgrades and craft new Pickaxes
Offline Income
For up to 6 hours, you can earn 50 % of your Money per second offline. You have to be offline for at least 5 minutes
to be eligible of earning offline money.
I Gotta be rich!
Ten Thousand dollars! That's surely more than your average wage. I think you are far enough to pay your living with it.
But also, improving your mining technology is very expensive, but it will pay off very fast.
You have mined new Stuff along the way like Coal, Lead and Copper. You are starting to venture deeper into the cave.
To be honest, this might be just the start. Great treasures await!
You have already went down a good bit into the mine. Stuff is getting precious down there. The first abnormal minerals are appearing
Ohhhh, Spooky!
{{formatThousands(14000)}} $ for a bunch of Bones? Well, they are spooky! Even though you don't know why exactly they are...
There are multiple ways to earn a million: Winning at a quiz show, having a certain job, or, mining precious materials?
Anyways, you've just reached a Million!
Rich. For real now.
The journey doesn't end here! Why not get even richer? The cave is seemingly endless.
Precious stuff is appearing now. You are starting to see typical Gemstones: Sapphire, Ruby and Emerald. You don't how deep
you are, but this cave is the biggest you've ever seen. It just never ends and seems to get bigger the deeper you are.
Precious, and worth Millions
Are we reaching the end? Definitely not!
You earn Gems more easily now, so you got an Idea: if you invest multiple Gems into a Pickaxe, it should be even better.
Now you can also use 3 Gems to craft a Pickaxe, but they turn out to be much better.
Not a waste at all!
You don't know what it is. It has never been discovered before. You are probably the first who has gone so far.
What is this?
Just about 20 of these will make you the worlds richest person. Maybe the money could also be used to study and research on
this mysterious material.
Along the way, you discover more unknown and ultra precious things that have yet to be studied.
There it is. Another type of essence. This time it seems to be fiery and very hot. Sadly you don't have a thermometer with you.
HOT, HOT!
Now, you need only one to become the richest person on the world. Alternetively, you could also give every person on the world
about 25 $. That would be enough for some food.
I don't know either
This thing is so precious that there isn't even a name for it, so let's just call it "Mysterium", because it
is a mystery, after all. It will be forever mysterious and the mystery will never be solved. How mysterious is that?
That sure is a lot of Money. Maybe it is enough to buy the Moon?
Richer than Rich
This is enough to pay off the US National debt.
Yet another Essence found. This one glows a lot and is even bright, so bright that a few of them could light up
an entire city.
Enlighten!
You still have no idea where the end is, you look down into a colorful cluster of minerals, shining in many
different colors. You feel like that will change soon.
After passing several huge mineral clusters, and feeling like going down for many kilometers, you start to
feel the heat of the air down here. It is still very bearable, though. A few dozen meters later, a sudden change
happens.
Is this hell?
These Minerals are completely different. They are very hot, dont glow at all and don't look beautiful either.
On the other hand, they are worth a ton of money and you feel like you've hit the end. But did you?
The End?
The Hellstone is getting darker and darker, harder and harder to break; an end seems to be near.
Suddenly, the cave ends. The ground is filled with even more demonic Hellstone. They are nearly pitch black and seem unbreakable.
You need a very good Pickaxe now.
Unbreakable? I doubt that!
Let's get a good Pickaxe, mine this and find out more! Maybe we did it?
After breaking the last hellstone, a small hole opens up below it. You didn't reach the end of the wave.
There was just that wall of Hellstone...
To Infinity. And beyond!
By now you have probably accepted that this cave is endless and will never end, which in return means that
you will become so rich that nobody can believe it.
It is really crazy down here. Those minerals don't even fit into the real world anymore. This just feels like
another realm. You notice that progressing seems to get harder and harder...
Suddenly you see light at the end of the Tunnel. A huge Gem. A really huge Gem. Breaking it would give you
insights you couldn't think of before. Something to speed of progress a lot.
It's not just a Gem!
You instantly feel a wave of wisdom streaming through your body...
That's it! Why should only money be invested into Upgrades? What if we do that with gems?
You are of much use now
With gems, you can now improve your blacksmith, the Auto-Mining-Device, and find even more gems!
Infinite Growth awaits!
You are in another realm. High amounts of energy and light, inverted minerals and Holograms.
The values of these Objects are tremendous. Even one of them means infinite wealth. Now,
you make an even crazier discovery.
zn+1 = zn2 + c
A fractal. Infinite amount of complexity, yet so simple to describe. {{numberFormatter.format(150e30)}} $ are
enough to buy a white dwarf, an earth-sized ball of compressed carbon (a Diamond!).
The cave is starting to get slimmer again, the end might be near?
It all shrinks down to just a small Portal, about 2 meters in diameter, glowing in a mysterious reddish pink.
Breaking it should reveal more...
It is very tough to break, nearly invincible. You need a very strong Pickaxe. Now, upgrade your Blacksmith, invest money
and gems, and make a very powerful Pickaxe to break through!
The Portal slows drags you in. The air seems to become colder. Everything around you seems to dim, until you just seem
to be surrounded by darkness. You stay calm. You are prepared and think you know what will happen next.
Suddenly, you hear something, very far in the background.
„I waited for you“
Were you chosen to be a miner? Does that explain why you had a blacksmith and leftover gems at home?
You are starting to understand. You were allowed to find out about the infinite riches of the underground.
Conclusion
Thanks for playing my Game! This marks the end of the story. Your task now is to explore the infinite new Dimension,
filled with an infinite amount of new minerals to mine.
I wonder how far the numbers can go! Through the Gem Upgrades, progress should always be possible, and a progress wall
should be very far away. Can you reach {{numberFormatter.format(Math.pow(2, 1023.999))}} $?
This doesn't mean it's the end forever. I could add new Content in the future to extend the story. Anyways, I hope you had
fun playing :)
