Sweeper Drone

2026-09-12T09:58:05Z

76561198012665891: Added tip on movement penalty

{{Drone infobox
|title=Sweeper Drone
|image=[[File:Sweeper_Drone_Icon.png|150px]]

|Description=Launches a swarm of drones to sweep materials from the ground.
}}
[[Sweeper Drone]]s can gather material for you from a defined area.

__FORCETOC__

== Mechanics ==
When the [[Sweeper Drone]]s are selected, clicking and holding the mouse button will allow you to mark material you wish to be gathered. This material does not have to all be the same - if it's grabbable, it can be selected.

When the mouse button is released, you are prompted to set a drop-off zone. The material will be swept up and deposited there.

The drones will make multiple trips if there is to much material to be swept in one go.

If you are near the drop-off zone, you can reassign it to a new location while the drones are active.

There is no way to cancel the drones.

== Upgrades ==
Upgrades are purchases with [[Fluxite]].

{| class="wikitable"
! Upgrade || Effect || Levels || Cost Per Level
|-
| Swarm Expansion || Increases maximum sweeper drone count (+100 per level) || 5 || {{spoiler|blur=yes|200/???/???/2000/4000}}
|-
| Wider Sweep || Increases material selection radius (+5 cells per level) || 3 || {{spoiler|blur=yes|300/???/3000}}
|-
| Guiding Light || Lights up the area around your cursor while the sweeper drone is active || 1 || {{spoiler|blur=yes|1500}}
|-
|}

== Tips ==
[[Sweeper Drone]]s can only drop-off material into empty space - it is best to designate your drop-off to be on a conveyor belt, or above plenty of open space, so that repeated trips have space to deliver your material.

If the drop-off area is not clear, the drones will hover waiting for it to become available.

Material marked to be swept will be highlighted in green. Material due to be swept on the next pass will be highlighted in red.

When marking material to be swept, or designating the drop-off point, your movement is drastically reduced and sprint is not available.

Grabber

2026-09-12T09:57:02Z

76561198012665891: Removed movement penalty; holdover from demo

{{Tool infobox
|title=Grabber
|image=[[File:Grabber.png|150px]]

|Description=A tool for manually grabbing material
}}

The [[Grabber]] a tool every player starts with, and allows you to pick up and move material by hand.

__FORCETOC__

== Mechanics ==
When the [[Grabber]] is equipped, a box around your cursor will show you the area in which you will pick up material.

The [[Grabber]] can only hold one type of material at a time. Once you have grabbed a material, it will only pick up more of that material, and leave anything else.

== Upgrades ==
Upgrades are purchases with [[Fluxite]].

{| class="wikitable"
! Upgrade || Effect || Levels || Cost Per Level
|-
| Material Scanner || Shows more information about materials when hovering. || 1 || {{spoiler|blur=yes|10}}
|-
| Expanded Capacity || Increases maximum grabber size from 5 by 5 to 33 by 33. || 4 || {{spoiler|blur=yes|25/350/1000/??}}
|-
| Hydro Sponge || Pick up liquids. || 1 || {{spoiler|blur=yes|300}}
|}

== Tips ==
With the Material Scanner upgrade, hovering the grabber over any material or terrain can reveal very useful information about it.

Voidgrazer

76561198012665891: Fixed icon

{{Critters infobox
|title=Voidgrazer
|image=[[File:Voidgrazer.png|150px]]

|Description=A void-touched creature that liquefies Voidhusk into Voidjuice.
|Produces=[[Void Juice]]
}}
A [[Critters|Critter]] that can be found in the wild, and may be captured and released using the [[Corraller]].

This critter will slowly consume [[Void Husk]], converting back it to [[Void Juice]].

__FORCETOC__

== Tips ==
When [[Void Juice]] is used, [[Void Husk]] is left behind. The [[Voidgrazer]] will consume that [[Void Husk]] and return the [[Void Juice]] to you so that you don't have to endlessly produce more juice.

Rocket Launcher

2026-08-27T10:50:31Z

76561198012665891: Added augment upgrade

{{Tool infobox
|title=Rocket Launcher
|image=[[File:Rocket_launcher_Sprite.png|150px]]

|Description=A ranged weapon firing explosive rockets
|Damage=Digging, [[Fire]]
}}

== Overview ==
The [[Rocket Launcher]] is a ranged explosive tool that is unlocked through [[Research]] ({{spoiler|Tier 4, 2000 [[Gold]]}})

It can destroy some terrain that is impervious to smaller digging tools (such as {{spoiler|[[Crackstone]]}}).

== Mechanics ==
The [[Rocket Launcher]] fires a missile that travels slowly for a short distance before accelerating quickly. When the missile collides with a solid surface it explodes in a wide, roughly circular area of damage.

Initially holding 3 rockets which are slowly automatically reloaded, both the magazine capacity and reload time can be improved through upgrades.

== Upgrades ==
Most upgrades are purchased with [[Fluxite]].

{| class="wikitable"
! Upgrade || Effect || Levels || Cost Per Level
|-
| Extended Magazine || Adds 2 max ammo and reduces reload time by 50% || 1 || {{spoiler|blur=yes|???}}
|-
| Heavy Payload || Doubles rocket explosion damage || 1 || {{spoiler|blur=yes|???}}
|-
|}

Additionally, there is the following [[Augment]] available through the Augment Forge.

{| class="wikitable"
! Upgrade || Effect
|-
| Incendiary Warhead || Rockets explode into fireballs
|}

== Tips ==
The missile can travel around 55 tiles before it will despawn if it has not hit anything.

== Bugs ==

Gun

2026-08-27T10:49:43Z

76561198012665891: Added augment

{{Tool infobox
|title=Gun
|image=[[File:Gun.png|150px]]

|Description=Ranged weapon
|Damage=Digging
}}
The [[Gun]] is a ranged excavation tool.

__FORCETOC__

== Overview ==
The [[Gun]] is acquired through [[Research]] ({{spoiler|Tier 3, 1500 [[Gold]]}}).

It fires a bullet that excavates a small area when it hits something solid and destroyable. This allows you to dig material from a distance.

== Upgrades ==
Most upgrades are purchases with [[Fluxite]].

{| class="wikitable"
! Upgrade || Effect || Levels || Cost Per Level
|-
| Rapid Fire || Faster gun cooldown || 3 || {{spoiler|blur=yes|150/???/???}}
|-
| Tracer Rounds || Bullets leave a glowing tracer trail || 1 || {{spoiler|blur=yes|400}}
|-
| Velocity Rounds || Bullets travel much faster || 1 || {{spoiler|blur=yes|500}}
|}

Additionally, there is the following [[Augment]] available through the Augment Forge.

{| class="wikitable"
! Upgrade || Effect
|-
| Triple Burst || Fire 3 bullets per shot
|}

== Tips ==
Ammunition is unlimited for the [[Gun]].

Although initially fairly weak, the [[Gun]] becomes a formidable excavation tool when upgraded.

Amethelis Flower Guide

2026-08-27T10:30:31Z

76561198012665891:

By the time you've entered Tier 3, you will have amassed a considerable pile of [[Seed]]s. You've just unlocked your [[Planter Box]] and you've been challenged to "grow flowers".

The flowers in question are Amethelis Flowers, and they're formed of flower stalks ([[Vine]]s), topped with a flower made up of a [[Gold]] center surrounded by [[Amethelis]] petals - another valuable source of [[Gold]], and those [[Amethelis]] petals are going to be useful too. So, how do they grow?

== Preparing Your Seeds ==
[[File:seed-wetting.png|right|thumb|Moving seeds through water with Clearing Frames]]

As any gardener knows, seeds need water to grow. So the first thing you need to do is to add water to your [[Seeds]], which results (unsurprisingly) in [[Wet Seed]].

You're familiar with this process from [[Sand]], but things are quite as simple here - [[Wet Seed]] is lighter than [[Seed]], so it will rise to the top of the pile. But worse than that, [[Wet Seed]] are exactly the same density as water, so you can't just drop [[Seed]] into a pool and let a conveyor pull them out at the other end.

As with every process, there are a thousand different approaches to this - [[Launcher]]s throwing everything up and [[Filter]]s to pick out the [[Wet Seed]], dripping [[Water]] onto a pile of [[Seed]], dropping [[Seed]] slowly into a pool of [[Water]]. It really is up to you.

Personally, I prefer the simple "pool of water" approach. Because [[Wet Seed]]s float rather chaotically, I use [[Clearing Frames]] to slowly push them over to the exit [[Launcher]]. It's not the fastest or most elegant solution, but it mostly keeps up with my [[Seed]] production, and it's easily duplicated if that becomes an issue.
<div style="clear: both;"></div>
== Planting Your Seeds ==
[[File:planting-seed.png|right|thumb|Seeds dropped onto planting boxes, grow flowers]]

Now you have your [[Wet Seed]]s, you need to sow them. The first thing to do will be to drop them onto [[Planter Box]]es, where they will sprout and grow a length of [[Vine]] stalk, eventually forming an Amethelis Flower on top. At this point, the plant growth stops.

When a plant is growing, if it grows ''into'' another [[Wet Seed]] (if, for example, you've just thrown a big pile onto your planters), it will absorb that seed, growing another vine and eventually producing another flower. There's no limit to how many seeds a growing plant can absorb, so if a large amount of [[Wet Seed]] is dropped together, your plants can end up growing for a long time - and across a large area!

If you don't want to be chasing flowers all over the world, box your planters in - plants won't grow through ''any'' building (even [[Wall Light]]s!) so you can control how far they grow this way.

To keep things easier to manage, you probably want to develop a way to thinly scatter seeds across your [[Planter Box]]es - just like real gardening!
<div style="clear: both;"></div>
== Harvesting Your Flowers ==
[[File:harvesting-seed.png|right|thumb|Burning flowers is a quick and easy way to harvest them]]

Once your plants have flowered, it's time to harvest them. They are like any terrain in the game - you can dig them, shoot them, or blow them up. Because [[Vine]]s are flammable, you can also burn them with [[Fire]] which is the best method; the fire will spread along the vines and jump from plant to plant, clearing the whole growing area in very little time.

The [[Vine]]s don't drop anything. The flowers, however, are a [[Gold]] centre surrounded by [[Amethelis]] petals, and these will drop once the flowers are destroyed. The [[Planter Box]]es will allow both of these materials to fall through them, so you will get a rain of [[Gold]] and [[Amethelis]] cascading from beneath the planters.

[[Amethelis]] is light and blows around in the wind; you ''can'' move it as normal with conveyors and launchers but its wispy nature makes that complicated.

[[Gold]], of course, is the heaviest element in the game and is easy to catch.

Catch the [[Gold]] and send it to your [[Collector]]s.

And as for all that [[Amethelis]]... well, that's a whole new process!

Amethelis Flower Guide

76561198012665891: Tried to make the 'Planting Your Seeds' section less crap

Liquid Vent

2026-08-26T16:45:46Z

76561198012665891: Updated to current figures

{{Buildings infobox
|title=Liquid Vent
|image=[[File:Liquid Vent 8x.png]]

|Description=Releaes liquids from the connected [[Pipe]].
|Interactions=[[Pipe]], Liquids

|Blocks Liquid=No
|Blocks Gas=No
|Blocks Player=No
}}
[[Liquid Vent]]s are required to allow liquids to escape from [[Pipe]]s.
__FORCETOC__

== Mechanics ==
When connected to a [[Pipe]] network, each [[Liquid Vent]] will allow liquid to leave the network.

[[Liquid Vent]]s can expel a maximum of 4 pixels of liquid per tick; therefore, one [[Pump]] can support up to 4 [[Liquid Vent]]s when operating to capacity.

[[Liquid Vent]]s will allow any liquid to pass through [[Pipe]]s apart from [[Lava]], which is too hot.

== Tips ==
Vents will only allow liquid to escape if they are not already submerged. A Vent is considered submerged in this context once three-quarters of it are under a liquid - that is, all but the top row of pixels.

|image=[[File:Pump_8x.png]]

|Description=Draws in liquid and runs it through the connected pipes.
|Interactions=[[Pipe]], Liquids

|Blocks Liquid=No
|Blocks Gas=No
|Blocks Player=No
}}
[[Pump]]s are required to draw liquids into [[Pipe]]s to be transported.
__FORCETOC__

== Mechanics ==
[[Pump]]s can be place on top of any [[Pipe]]. It will then draw any liquid touching the [[Pump]] and feed it into that [[Pipe]].

Every pixel of the [[Pump]] can take in liquid, so if fully submerged, it will deliver 16 pixels of liquid to the [[Pipe]] per tick.

[[Pump]]s can take in any liquid other than [[Lava]], which is too hot to be transported.

== Tips ==
[[Pump]]s are non-solid to all pixels meaning that any non-liquid material within them will stop liquids from being transported.

Every [[Pump]] connected to a contiguous network of [[Pipe]]s will deliver its liquid to every [[Liquid Vent]] on that network.

[[Pump]]s will feed ''any'' liquid into [[Pipe]]s, so the [[Pipe]] can carry multiple different liquids at once. These will be evenly distributed to all connected [[Liquid Vent]]s.

|Description=[[Pipe]]s are used to transport liquids.
|Interactions=[[Pump]], [[Liquid Vent]]

|Blocks Liquid=No
|Blocks Gas=No
|Blocks Player=No
}}
[[Pipe]]s are used to move liquids around your factory.
__FORCETOC__

== Mechanics ==
[[Pipe]]s require (at least one) [[Pump]] to take liquid in, and (at least one) [[Liquid Vent]] to allow liquid out.

[[Pipe]]s themselves are on a completely separate layer and can be placed in the same square as any other block. They can pass through any material, including [[Indestructible]] terain.

The only exception is that they may not pass through Artifact rooms.

[[Lava]] is too hot to be carried in pipes. All other liquids can be carried.

[[Pipe]]s can only be removed by selecting the [[Pipe]] tool, and right-clicking on the [[Pipe]] you want to remove.

== Tips ==

[[Pipe]]s cannot cross; if they do, the two networks are joined, and any [[Pump]] on either pipe will feed any [[Liquid Vent]] on either pipe.

[[Pipe]]s can be connected to multiple [[Pump]]s and [[Liquid Vent]]s at a time and the inputs and outputs will be shared throughout. If more than one type of liquid is pumped in the [[pipe]] system, it will distribute them evenly across all outputs. Use separate systems for each liquid instead, or be prepared to filter your liquids at each vent!

[[Pipe]]s that run behind terrain or blocks are not visible except when the [[Pipe]] tool is selected.

When placing a [[Wall Light]], a color picker allows you to select what color light is produced.

By default, the color will cycle with every [[Wall Light]] placed.

[[Wall Light]]s do not consume anything.

The light given out by a [[Wall Light]] is considerably more than that produced by [[Shinelet]]s.

[[Gold]] needs to stay inside the collector for it to be available.
__FORCETOC__

== Mechanics ==
When spent, the [[Gold]] will be removed from [[Collector]]s automatically. You can have multiple sets of [[Collector]]s distributed around your factory.

[[Collector]]s can contain both [[Gold]] and [[Liquid Gold]]. No other material can enter a [[Collector]].

== Tips ==
Because [[Collector]]s are square, but both [[Gold]] and [[Liquid Gold]] flow, if you store gold in anything not completely square-edged (such as an underground cavern), not all your [[Gold]] will be counted.

Amethelis Flower Guide

2026-08-26T11:56:59Z

76561198012665891: Created page with "By the time you've entered Tier 3, you will have amassed a considerable pile of Seeds. You've just unlocked your Planter Box and you've been challenged to "grow flowers". The flowers in question are Amethelis Flowers, and they're formed of flower stalks (Vines), topped with a flower made up of a Gold center surrounded by Amethelis petals - another valuable source of Gold, and those Amethelis petals are going to be useful too. So, how do they..."

By the time you've entered Tier 3, you will have amassed a considerable pile of [[Seed]]s. You've just unlocked your [[Planter Box]] and you've been challenged to "grow flowers".

The flowers in question are Amethelis Flowers, and they're formed of flower stalks ([[Vine]]s), topped with a flower made up of a [[Gold]] center surrounded by [[Amethelis]] petals - another valuable source of [[Gold]], and those [[Amethelis]] petals are going to be useful too. So, how do they grow?

== Preparing Your Seeds ==
[[File:seed-wetting.png|right|thumb|Moving seeds through water with Clearing Frames]]

As any gardener knows, seeds need water to grow. So the first thing you need to do is to add water to your [[Seeds]], which results (unsurprisingly) in [[Wet Seed]].

You're familiar with this process from [[Sand]], but things are quite as simple here - [[Wet Seed]] is lighter than [[Seed]], so it will rise to the top of the pile. But worse than that, [[Wet Seed]] are exactly the same density as water, so you can't just drop [[Seed]] into a pool and let a conveyor pull them out at the other end.

As with every process, there are a thousand different approaches to this - [[Launcher]]s throwing everything up and [[Filter]]s to pick out the [[Wet Seed]], dripping [[Water]] onto a pile of [[Seed]], dropping [[Seed]] slowly into a pool of [[Water]]. It really is up to you.

Personally, I prefer the simple "pool of water" approach. Because [[Wet Seed]]s float rather chaotically, I use [[Clearing Frames]] to slowly push them over to the exit [[Launcher]]. It's not the fastest or most elegant solution, but it mostly keeps up with my [[Seed]] production, and it's easily duplicated if that becomes an issue.
<div style="clear: both;"></div>
== Planting your Seeds ==
[[File:planting-seed.png|right|thumb|Seeds dropped onto planting boxes, grow flowers]]

Now you have your [[Wet Seed]]s, you need to drop them onto [[Planter Box]]es. The seeds need to touch the planters, so there's no direct benefit to dropping a huge pile of them on a single planter. If possible, you want to spread them out across multiple planters, to grow as many flowers as possible.

Plants grow a length of [[Vine]] stalk, end eventually form an Amethelis Flower on top. At this point, the plant growth stops.

It's worth noting at this point that under some circumstances, [[Wet Seed]] landing on a growing plant can produce new growth, causing them to grow further and further into the sky. If you don't want to be chasing flowers all over the world, box your planters in - plants won't grow through buildings so you can control how far they grow this way.
<div style="clear: both;"></div>
== Harvesting your Flowers ==
[[File:harvesting-seed.png|right|thumb|Burning flowers is a quick and easy way to harvest them]]

Once your plants have flowered, it's time to harvest them. They are like any terrain in the game - you can dig them, shoot them, or blow them up. Because [[Vine]]s are flammable, you can also burn them with [[Fire]] which is the best method; the fire will spread along the vines and jump from plant to plant, clearing the whole growing area in very little time.

The [[Vine]]s don't drop anything. The flowers, however, are a [[Gold]] centre surrounded by [[Amethelis]] petals, and these will drop once the flowers are destroyed. The [[Planter Box]]es will allow both of these materials to fall through them, so you will get a rain of [[Gold]] and [[Amethelis]] cascading from beneath the planters.

[[Amethelis]] is light and blows around in the wind; you ''can'' move it as normal with conveyors and launchers but its wispy nature makes that complicated.

[[Gold]], of course, is the heaviest element in the game and is easy to catch.

Catch the [[Gold]] and send it to your [[Collector]]s.

And as for all that [[Amethelis]]... well, that's a whole new process!

Sweeper Drone

2026-08-25T11:07:17Z

76561198012665891: Added more upgrade costs

Hauler Drone

2026-08-24T16:51:30Z

76561198012665891:

{{Drone infobox
|title=Hauler Drone
|image=[[File:Hauler_Icon.png|150px]]

|Description=Deploys hauler drones that will automatically transport materials.
}}
[[Hauler Drone]]s will move material between two defined locations.

__FORCETOC__

== Mechanics ==
When the [[Hauler Drone]] is selected, you click once to indicate the pick-up location, and then a second time to indicate the drop-off location.

The [[Hauler Drone]] will then pick up whatever material is at the pick-up, and deposit it at the drop-off. It will continue to repeat the journey until cancelled.

If there is no material at the pick-up location, the [[Hauler Drone]] will hover until something arrives and then haul it.

If there is no space at the drop-off location, the [[Hauler Drone]] will hover until space is made, and then drop its load.

When the [[Hauler Drone]] tool is selected, a list of existing Hauler lines is shown; this allows you to alter the pick-up and drop-off locations, add or remove drones from the route, or delete the route entirely.

== Upgrades ==
Upgrades are purchases with [[Fluxite]].

{| class="wikitable"
! Upgrade || Effect || Levels || Cost Per Level
|-
| Drone Fleet || Increases the maximum number of hauler drones (+5). || 5 || {{spoiler|blur=yes|100/???/???/???/3000}}
|-
| Quantum Propulsion || Increases drone movement speed (+100% per level). || 3 || {{spoiler|blur=yes|200/???/???}}
|}

== Tips ==
When deleting a [[Hauler Drone]] route, it will complete its delivery before disappearing.

Sweeper Drone

2026-08-24T16:50:56Z

76561198012665891:

{{Drone infobox
|title=Sweeper Drone
|image=[[File:Sweeper_Drone_Icon.png|150px]]

|Description=Launches a swarm of drones to sweep materials from the ground.
}}
[[Sweeper Drone]]s can gather material for you from a defined area.

__FORCETOC__

== Mechanics ==
When the [[Sweeper Drone]]s are selected, clicking and holding the mouse button will allow you to mark material you wish to be gathered. This material does not have to all be the same - if it's grabbable, it can be selected.

When the mouse button is released, you are prompted to set a drop-off zone. The material will be swept up and deposited there.

The drones will make multiple trips if there is to much material to be swept in one go.

If you are near the drop-off zone, you can reassign it to a new location while the drones are active.

There is no way to cancel the drones.

== Upgrades ==
Upgrades are purchases with [[Fluxite]].

{| class="wikitable"
! Upgrade || Effect || Levels || Cost Per Level
|-
| Swarm Expansion || Increases maximum sweeper drone count (+100 per level) || 5 || {{spoiler|blur=yes|200/???/???/3000/???}}
|-
| Wider Sweep || Increases material selection radius (+5 cells per level) || 3 || {{spoiler|blur=yes|300/???/3000}}
|-
| Guiding Light || Lights up the area around your cursor while the sweeper drone is active || 1 || {{spoiler|blur=yes|1500}}
|-
|}

== Tips ==
[[Sweeper Drone]]s can only drop-off material into empty space - it is best to designate your drop-off to be on a conveyor belt, or above plenty of open space, so that repeated trips have space to deliver your material.

If the drop-off area is not clear, the drones will hover waiting for it to become available.

Material marked to be swept will be highlighted in green. Material due to be swept on the next pass will be highlighted in red.

Vacuum

== Overview ==
The [[Vacuum]] can pick up material, and deposit it elsewhere. It is acquired through [[Research]] ({{spoiler|Tier 3, 2000 [[Gold]]}}).

Due to it's high capacity, this can be viewed as an upgrade to the [[Grabber]].

== Mechanics ==
The [[Vacuum]] has two separate tanks, so it can hold (up to) two different materials at once. Upgrades will increase the capacity of those tanks.

== Upgrades ==
Upgrades are purchased with [[Fluxite]].

{| class="wikitable"
! Upgrade || Effect || Levels || Cost Per Level
|-
| Tank Capacity || Increases tank capacity of the Vacuum (500 -> 3.0k). || 5 || {{spoiler|blur=yes|???/???/???/???/5000}}

[[Stone]] is a hard and enduring part of the world.

__FORCETOC__

== Mechanics ==
Only powered tools like the [[Drill]] and [[Laser]] can destroy [[Stone]].

The [[Void Gun]] does minor damage to [[Stone]].

When it breaks, nothing remains.

== Tips ==
While it can be hard to remove [[Stone]], doing so can greatly simplify your transport lines underground.

[[Moss]] can be found growing in caves underground.

__FORCETOC__

== Mechanics ==
[[Moss]] can be destroyed with any normal digging tool. It can also be burned with [[Fire]].

In either case, nothing is left behind when it is destroyed.

== Tips ==
[[Fire]] will slowly move across [[Moss]], so it can be an efficient way of clearing a large area of it.

76561198012665891: Added upgrades

{{Drone infobox
|title=Hauler Drone
|image=[[File:Hauler_Icon.png|150px]]

|Description=Deploys hauler drones that will automatically transport materials.
}}
[[Hauler Drone]]s will move material between two defined locations.

__FORCETOC__

== Mechanics ==
When the [[Hauler Drone]] is selected, you click once to indicate the pick-up location, and then a second time to indicate the drop-off location.

The [[Hauler Drone]] will then pick up whatever material is at the pick-up, and deposit it at the drop-off. It will continue to repeat the journey until cancelled.

If there is no material at the pick-up location, the [[Hauler Drone]] will hover until something arrives and then haul it.

If there is no space at the drop-off location, the [[Hauler Drone]] will hover until space is made, and then drop its load.

When the [[Hauler Drone]] tool is selected, a list of existing Hauler lines is shown; this allows you to alter the pick-up and drop-off locations, add or remove drones from the route, or delete the route entirely.

== Upgrades ==
Upgrades are purchases with [[Fluxite]].

{| class="wikitable"
! Upgrade || Effect || Levels || Cost Per Level
|-
| Drone Fleet || Increases the maximum number of hauler drones (+5). || 5 || {{spoiler|blur=yes|100/???/???/???/???}}
|-
| Quantum Propulsion || Increases drone movement speed (+100% per level). || 3 || {{spoiler|blur=yes|200/???/???}}
|}

== Tips ==
When deleting a [[Hauler Drone]] route, it will complete its delivery before disappearing.

Recon Drone

{{Drone infobox
|title=Recon Drone
|image=[[File:Recon_Drone_Icon.png|150px]]

|Description=Deploys a fast scout drone.
}}
The [[Recon Drone]] allows you to move a view rapidly around the map.

__FORCETOC__

== Mechanics ==
When the [[Recon Drone]] is selected, left clicking will take control of the drone, and your view will be locked to the drone. Left clicking again will toggle between your location and the drones.

When in your control, the [[Recon Drone]] can move anywhere on the map. It will not reveal anything that you have not already explored, so the map remains black in any area you have yet to visit.

Right clicking recalls the drone.

== Upgrades ==
The [[Recon Drone]] is not upgradeable.

== Tips ==
Because the [[Recon Drone]] travels at high speed, this is a very useful tool for scouting the wider area.

Digger Drone

{{Drone infobox
|title=Digger Drone
|image=[[File:Digger_Icon.png|150px]]

|Description=A drone that digs autonomously until hitting a hard surface.
}}
[[Digger Drone]]s will slowly dig along a straight line, until they encounter an undiggable object.

__FORCETOC__

== Mechanics ==
When the [[Digger Drone]] is selected, a line is projected which indicates the path along which it will dig. Clicking will release the drone, and further clicks will deploy more until you reach the limit.

The drones will 'bounce' against the target surface, doing a small amount of digging damage. This will continue until it hits a surface that it cannot dig.

== Upgrades ==
Upgrades are purchases with [[Fluxite]].

{| class="wikitable"
! Upgrade || Effect || Levels || Cost Per Level
|-
| Drone Fleet || Increases the maximum number of active digger drones (+1 per level) || 3 || {{spoiler|blur=yes|500/1000/???}}

|}

== Tips ==
Although slow, this is an entirely autonomous operation until the drone runs out of material to dig.

The [[Corraller]] can capture [[Critters]] and place them elsewhere.

__FORCETOC__

== Mechanics ==
When close to [[Critters]], the [[Corraller]] will capture them and add them to your collection.

By right clicking, you can release selected [[Critters]] in the direction of your cursor.

== Upgrades ==
The [[Corraller]] is not upgradeable.

== Tips ==
Capturing [[Critters]] for the first time discovers them in the conservatory, and each critter captured gives a conservatory ticket.

{{Tool infobox
|title=Gun
|image=[[File:Gun.png|150px]]

|Description=Ranged weapon
|Damage=Digging
}}
The [[Gun]] is a ranged excavation tool.

__FORCETOC__

== Overview ==
The [[Gun]] is acquired through [[Research]] ({{spoiler|Tier 3, 1500 [[Gold]]}}).

It fires a bullet that excavates a small area when it hits something solid and destroyable. This allows you to dig material from a distance.

== Upgrades ==
{| class="wikitable"
! Upgrade || Effect || Levels || Cost Per Level
|-
| Rapid Fire || Faster gun cooldown || 3 || {{spoiler|blur=yes|150/???/???}}
|-

|-
| Velocity Rounds || Bullets travel much faster || 1 || {{spoiler|blur=yes|500}}

{{Tool infobox
|title=Shovel
|image=[[File:Shovel_Icon.png|150px]]

|Description=A simple shovel
|Damage=Digging
}}
The [[Shovel]] is the basic starting tool used to dig up resources.

__FORCETOC__

The [[Shovel]] is the equivalent of a melee weapon and can only destroy blocks in a small cone in front of the player. It has a small cooldown between breaking blocks which can be reduced through [[Fluxite]] upgrades.

== Upgrades ==
Upgrades are purchases with [[Fluxite]].

{| class="wikitable"
! Upgrade || Effect || Levels || Cost Per Level
|-
| Digging Speed || Increases shovel digging speed by 15% per level || 4 || {{spoiler|blur=yes|100/500/???/???}}
|-
| Broader Shovel || Larger dig area || 1 || {{spoiler|blur=yes|400}}
|-
|}

== Tips ==
When the [[Shovel]] is selected, any diggable resource within range is highlighted so that you can see exactly what you can dig.
