The phrase "slow burn" comes to mind! The time it takes to mine a single block, and the fact that you can only carry one block at once, makes it drag a bit, I'm afraid. But I like the idea of befriending and riding a giant ant! Something about this one reminds me of a game I played as a kid called Motherlode...

Thank you for the feedback.
The time it takes to mine a block is based on how big it is (when the mine generates nearby blocks of the same type merge together, their health is added together and you gain multiple blocks from it) . You were meant to be able to carry at least two but I forgot to change a value meaning the carry size is random between 1 and 3 every time you tame a critter.
