Spending cash in the skill tree
Tips
Once you have cash, open the skill tree and start upgrading. The tree covers mining power, mining speed, and reach, among other options.
- Upgrade mining power so each click breaks more of the mountain at once.
- Upgrade speed to increase mining speed.
- Expand your reach so you can hit blocks that are farther away.
Buried chests
CheckAs you dig deeper into the mountain, you will sometimes uncover a chest buried inside the rock. When one appears, mine it just like a regular block to collect it.
- Chests appear buried inside the mountain.
- Mine the chest the moment you spot it, the same way you would any other block.
The eagle
Warn
While you are mining, an eagle can appear and come toward you. It is dangerous when it gets close, so move away when it approaches.
