Find Animal Bones
The core gameplay loop
Step
Everything in the game revolves around one repeating cycle.
- Buy a pumpjack this is what lets you dig underground at all.
- Dig underground you will pull up bones and junk as you go.
- Convert junk into ducats this turns your leftover finds into usable currency.
- Spend ducats on better equipment a stronger pumpjack digs deeper and finds rarer items.
- Complete an animal skeleton once every bone part is in place, the animal revives and joins your pet collection.

Pumpjacks and upgrading your equipment
TipsYour starting pumpjack can get you going, but it limits how deep you can dig. Deeper layers hold rarer finds.
- You can start digging immediately with the first pumpjack — no waiting required.
- A new pumpjack improves both digging speed and the rarity of what you find.
Finishing skeletons faster
CheckEach skeleton needs several bone parts, and they do not all show up at once.
- Check which animal each bone belongs to you can see how many parts you still need for that skeleton.
- Dig deeper by upgrading your pumpjack rarer bones appear in deeper layers.
- Expect some repetition the same bone can appear more than once before you get the part you are missing.

Common questions
FAQWhat do revived animals actually do?
Once you complete a skeleton, the animal is added to your pet collection.
Does digging deeper always give better results?
Rarer bones appear in deeper underground layers. Upgrading your pumpjack is what lets you reach those layers.
What should I do if I keep getting the same bone twice?
Duplicate bones are a normal part of the game — you need every part of a skeleton, and finding them is partly down to luck.
