Ok, how deep is the "core" on the first planet? is it just reaching 900+m, or is there something at 1000m. Not sure if I'm wasting my time or if I should save up to jump?

Is it just me, or does the game go out of it's way to intentionally start killing you around the 600-700 meter mark on the red planet. It doesn't matter what drill you use or your actual core temperature is. Unless you're lucky with health pickups, you're not making it to 800 meters.

I like and dislike how parts you get early on are still useful later in the game. the second hull has the unique True Vision ability, and the second drill can double the money from drilling. Unfortunately this steals the thunder out of high level parts who have raw stats but lack some special abilities. True Vision would be very useful if there was a Special slot item that granted it so any hull could be useful.

I am red/green colorblind and the red and green gems are almost impossible for me to distinguish. Other than that and the grind that everyone else talks about, great take on the mining game! Love the nuance.

Hey, so should we be able to go up? Or at least have an extendable drill upward. Also could mystery crates be not OP if its a 1/25 chance to aquire you with 1 plasma
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
so the developers said to collect 100 plasma and make the jump asap but like, where is the plasma? How am I supposed to get it?

Needs to be a way to sell back your upgrades, i bought a couple of things by accident and i couldn't go back, if they is a way to get the upgrade back maybe make it more clear as i can't find it anywhere, maybe add it to the tutorial.

Advice for the dev. 1) The guy at the bottom of the green planet is bugged, he didn't appear in my second playthrough while he did in my first. I dug to >900 meters before jumping and still nothing. Even after jumping you should be able to come back for him. 2) Reduce the vision reduction when you get hit, this feature is downright obnoxious. 3) Fix the "no barriers" descriptions in the achievements to "reach 500m without hitting any barrier, laser gun or bug nest. Right now it's super unclear 4) Reduce grinding by increasing material drop on the green planet lower levels and increasing plasma drop on the red planet lower levels. Thx for the game!

It's worth pointing out to people that the low tier equipment is by no means useless. It -is- something of a trade-off, but especially in the early- to late mid-game, the upgrade cost savings can be invaluable. The H1 Grig, when upgraded, can have the same maximum durability as the H2 Caterpillar, the highest Agility of any hull in the game (making snaking around gathering collectables and avoiding obstacles a breeze), and enough Vision to see most of the screen. All of this, at a fraction of the cost of upgrading ANY other hull. Any new engine will be out-performed by a better upgraded lower tier engine, so assume you need to sink an upgrade or 3's worth of cost before switching over. Battery powers are a thing to keep an eye on, and choose your component wisely. Just remember that really there isn't a useless part, and things can get a lot easier for you.

I'm also having trouble with the barrier ones. I've avoided all the obstacles for 500 meters and I still haven't got it.

OK dude, where is the core??? I'm past 1200 meters and I don't see whether I'm close or not. I've almost fully upgraded the candy drill and still can't get there.

Here's a hint to everybody complaining about the grind: Play it like an idle game. Click next day and go do something else for a minute. Also, save up 100 plasma and jump to the red planet. Plasma is everywhere on that one. Then play it like an idle game again...

how to get the achievementt "agile 4"?
what is a f***ing barrier?
i dig more than 500m avoiding all hazard, but still nothing!

@cdeanoh try with hull H2 Caterpillar - that thing have a nice ability "ture vision". you just have to be careful at the beginning -
at the start, you can hit something.

This game is too grind heavy. 1:20 seconds to get to the core, and only getting 2-3 plasma at a time, if the RNfukinG gods permit that there aren't any unavoidable Lava walls infront of me? Are you kidding me? Seriously, alpha testing is something every developer should do.

I completed all challenges, build all the items to max . except with the Candy - but I'm still missing a hiden message and game does not end. Hu?

Has anyone gotten the '500 m no barriers' achievement? It seems like I've done this several times but the achievement never activates. Also, its hard to tell in the first few meters since the radar isn't very active and the small barriers are easy to overlook.

Mine will be the drill to pierce the heavens! Just who the hell do you think I am! Row row fight the power! Destroy the anti-spiral... and so forth

Guys how do I unlock the last lost message? I have been hitting the question bonus like crazy on both planets and still haven't acquired it.

For anyone stuck of the 500m in 30s on Red Planet: Keep in mind the Wasp (3rd hull) can reach +3 max speed. Using that with either the E4 or E5 (Max speed E4) engines and T4 (max speed again) booster all you have to do is boost straight down. Hitting a green speed booster will help slightly, although it's not needed. My record time is 25.x seconds - hitting green boosters and spamming my boost the entire way down. If you /really/ want to, you can use the S4 "slot" attachment to help get back to max speed in case you accidentally hit a nest or rock on the way down (Not needed). Hope this helps!

I can only get to the point, where the robot- thingy says: "Commander, we haveno energy for the jump".
Nothing I try seems to do anything...

Finally, Candy Drill unlocked. Technology Stats on that run: Durability 454%, Energy 421%, Power 419%. Increasing those technologies is the key. It takes VERY long. Completed in day 128... no idea how long it will take to max that Candy

This game crashed my computer due to poor memory management (and low Flash plugin reliability), and I lost all my Kongregate local game saves...

The thing that really turned me off of this game was the fact that i could spend all the money i had currently plus all the money i earn my next 3 launches on the next best hull and it's still worse than the one I had before.

For those struggling to reach the core: Get energy and durability as high as possible. Collect as much technology as you can each run. Use the S4 Power Booster (maxed out) to get through the latter floors quickly. Save most of your boosts for the final floor with the boss bug on it and use them to power through it very quickly. Also use boosts when you're getting blasted by lasers, but use them sparingly. Get high vision (20+) and thermo def as they help too. Try to be angled downwards as much as possible - avoid going sideways for too long. Good luck!
