¶ Mining
Mining is essential for obtaining valuable minerals, which allow you to do multiple things:
- Create fishing rods.
- Craft pickaxes to mine minerals.
- Build oil drills to extract oil.
- Use minerals to expand your land.
- Use minerals to construct or upgrade buildings.
- Use minerals to acquire SFTs from the blacksmith.
- Craft shovels and drills to find treasures on the beach.
- Complete deliveries.
In short, we need to mine (or buy minerals from the market) to progress in the land or simply enjoy the various activities mentioned above.
The basic flow of mining is: chop trees → use the wood for pickaxes to get stone → make stone pickaxes to get iron → make iron pickaxes to get gold → make gold pickaxes to get Crimstone or Sunstone.
¶ Stone
To obtain stone, we need to craft a pickaxe, which will allow us to mine the Stone Rock.
As we progress through the game, we’ll be able to obtain Sunstone, which can be used to unlock additional Stone Rock nodes. The initial cost for the first Stone Rock node is 4 Sunstone, and it increases by +3 Sunstone for each subsequent node.
Soon, it will be possible to group Stone Rocks together to obtain more stone and make mining more convenient.
💡 Tip: If you’re new to the game, I recommend getting the Stone Beetle from the blacksmith as soon as possible.
¶ Iron
To obtain iron, we need to craft a stone pickaxe, which will allow us to mine the Iron Rock.
As we progress through the game, we’ll be able to obtain Sunstone, which can be used to unlock additional Iron Rock nodes. The initial cost for the first Iron Rock node is 7 Sunstone, and it increases by +5 Sunstone for each subsequent node.
Soon, it will be possible to group Iron Rocks together to obtain more iron and make mining more convenient.
💡 Tip: If you’re new to the game, I recommend getting the Iron Beetle from the blacksmith as soon as possible.
¶ Gold
To obtain gold, we need to craft a iron pickaxe, which will allow us to mine the Gold Rock.
As we progress through the game, we’ll be able to obtain Sunstone, which can be used to unlock additional Gold Rock nodes. The initial cost for the first Gold Rock node is 10 Sunstone, and it increases by +6 Sunstone for each subsequent node.
Soon, it will be possible to group Gold Rocks together to obtain more gold and make mining more convenient.
💡 Tip: If you’re new to the game, I recommend getting the Gold Beetle from the blacksmith as soon as possible.
¶ Crimstone
To obtain Crimstone, we need to craft a gold pickaxe, which will allow us to mine the Crimstone Rock.
As we progress through the game, we’ll be able to obtain Sunstone, which can be used to unlock additional Crimstone Rock nodes. The initial cost for the first Crimstone Rock node is 20 Sunstone, and it increases by +20 Sunstone for each subsequent node.
¶ Mining skills
Having a mining skill tree allows us to create a strategy to optimize it.
Here are several examples:
- Stone Specialist: Rock’N’Roll, Speed Miner, Forge-Ward Profits, Frugal Miner, Rocky Favor
- Iron Specialist: Rock’N’Roll, Iron Bumpkin, Forge-Ward Profits, Frugal Miner, Iron Hustle, Ferrous Favor
- Gold Specialist: You can use the Stone or Iron specialist setup (or even combine both if you want to be a complete player) and add Golden Touch, Midas Sprint, Midas Rush.
- Crimstone Specialist: You can use the Stone or Iron specialist setup (or combine both if you want to be a complete player) and add Fire Kissed, Fireside Alchemist.
