nice catch22 with the cooling system, i need to get to 50 depth for the ordinary iron lump, but even on a glacial planet (all of which have less minerals) i can only get to ~45 depth. this wouldn't be a problem if i could just re-craft the iron lump since i have 41 iron nuggets, but for some reason, i can only make each exchange once :/

If you need a certain resource, like sizable iron chunk, create a few of the closest lower teir form of the item (ordinary iron lump in the case of sizable iron chunk), then go dig up any resource and you'll have a new recipe for that item.

As many people have said. let there be a way to break down larger resources into smaller ones! That will solve the "small lava globule" confusion as well. Also, the radar pulse is currently next-to-useless. It should show you arrows pointing to any buried items. Otherwise, a fantastic game! 5/5

Thanks for your feedback. Since many of you have asked us to add an option to split the items into smaller ones, we have added this feature. It's a new button in the ship inventory window (next to Craft Object). Don't forget to go to the ship first to auto-save the game, then refresh your browser. Check if the version is 1.39 K (near the title in the main menu), and then the new feature should be there :D

A way to break larger items down into smaller ones would be awesome. After all, if I can turn emerald slivers, into an emerald fragment, why can't I cut it down and make it slivers again?

It would be nice to divide and put larger clusters of gems and irons into smaller ones again. Would save the pain of taking hits for the small lava...
Btw. Very similiar to Drillboid. The plot is quite what these type of games needs.

Tip: Turn your quality down so that you can dig faster, especially when you are deep underground at about 100 depth or more because it somehow slows down the digging (well at least for me).

@jambola some other guy wrote that thing i wrote. i just wanted to quote him and say the same thing you did but well.. it cut off the other half of my description... the game's really good!

@JimRaynor89 It's not like MotherLoad, you don't sell basic stuff for money then buy the uprades, I like this system more because you need to make different stuff for each upgrade unlike buying stuff for eg 1000$...

I can't seem to get any further since i need some small lava globules but instead I keep gettin medium lava globules (21 already) at a depth of 25-30

Good game, breaking larger items into smaller ones would help making collecting tiny units less tedious later in the game. Also when crafting some of the more complex items it takes way to many clicks. If you could return back up level after you drill down in the components it would save a lot time as well. 4 stars for me, good job.

...why the hell alcohol and rifle is classified as an alien object?
Okey, this robot is confirmed to be of extraterrestrial origin.

I don't know if that's a bug... but after creating engineering bay, crafting some stuff and upgrading my cooling... my radar readings were gone. I mean i used radar pulse earlier and when i got out of my ship readings were cleared.

You get small lava globes just by standing under a non-depleted lava tile; once you are hit by one of the tiny lava drops you will get a small lava globe.

Love this game so far! Kinda reminds me a little bit of Dig Dug on steroids. Noticed a typo. When you highlight "Fine Silver Bar" the description says "Refined 'Iron' makes for a quality bar..." 5 stars regardless from me!

will, ya actually have to let lava drip on you to get smalls as far as I know. As to the game, thank you for lowering the engineering cost. It makes much more sense now.

Upgrades require the Engineering Bay module, while combining raw materials to craft better ones requires a Research Nexus.

i've extremly confused, does this game just require a ton of planet hopping before you start to get upgrades or is there some combining menu i'm not seeing.

Read the description of the item you are trying to obtain, all relevant information is there. Small lava can very easily be obtained by letting the drops fall you to collect them.

for everyone who wants to know how to use the capsule elevators (or at least how i used them). you go on it to go up and press down while on it to deactivate the elevator. now to turn it back on again just bring up your inventory and it should reactivate.

It took me a while to figure out that you can craft an item from the cargo bay once you've made it through research. Perhaps this should be made more obvious. I noticed a few people seem to have missed this entirely.

Capsules always activate their "elevator beam" once they are opened (drilled into). OFC, if there is rock right above them you won't be able to ride it up, but the beam itself passes though all terrain, so you can take detours or use dynamite when that happens.

If you select Obsidian, or any other raw resource in the Inventory it will show you all relevant data; including how it can be obtained.
