DEEPFORGE

DEEPFORGE drops you at the mouth of an untouched mine with a drill, a roll of conveyor blueprints, and a contract: tap the deep, and forge the alloys that power a new age.

Dig tunnels through layered strata, plant drill rigs on iron, copper, gold and crystal veins, and watch mixed ore tumble through your conveyor network into crushers, smelters and blast furnaces. Every cargo elevator delivery pays — refine smarter, ship purer, earn faster.

The deep pushes back. Carve too wide a cavern and the roof comes down — brace it with support beams. Rupture a gas pocket and machinery chokes until a scrubber clears the air; burst a water vein and the pumps had better be close; and past 45 meters nothing runs for long without cooling vents. Research electrification, smart sorters, mag-lev belts, auto-drill rigs and geothermal power to push into the magma biome.

Finish the contract by forging titanium steel and superconducting alloy, tapping a magma pool with a geothermal plant, and switching on the Deep Core Reactor — or keep digging and turn the whole underground into one machine.
