I posted this in a comment below but figured I’d do it here for clarity as well.
how the game works:
🛢️ Oil
- Every dig costs oil — you’ll see the cost on the left.
- The deeper you go, the more oil each dig costs.
- What does oil do? It protects your drill from damage.
- If you have 0 oil, you take 1 unavoidable drill damage each dig.
⛏️ Pickaxes
- Pickaxes are used to break blocks.
- If your pickaxe power ≥ block toughness, you take no damage (unless you’re out of oil).
- If your pickaxe power is lower than the block toughness, wrenches can cover the missing amount!
🔧 Wrenches
- Think of wrenches as temporary shields.
- If you’re short on pickaxe power, wrenches prevent damage (as long as you still have at least 1 oil).
- No oil = you still take the unavoidable 1 damage.
💎 Gems
- Gems give extra resources on top of what the block normally provides. Sparkly bonuses! ✨
🚫 Drill Denied
- This shows up when you don’t have any pickaxes available.
🎰 Jackpots
Jackpots always clear the block and give special bonuses:
- 🛢️ Oil Jackpot: The dig costs no oil
- 💎 Gem Jackpot: 2× gems from that dig
- ⛏️ Pickaxe Jackpot: +1 pickaxe power on your next dig
- 🔧 Wrench Jackpot: +1 drill HP (heals your drill)
