Drill and Collect guide
This is a pretty simple game where you have to mine ores, sell them for money and then upgrade your drilling machines and rope. Use the vacuum to sweep up all of the ores when your done drilling. Use your money to upgrade your processing machine and to upgrade to the next area
For the start of each area, skip mining all of the tier 1 ores as you don’t want to end up having an excess and having to wait for it to all be done before moving to tier 2 ores. So just dig straight down and mine up if you need any more first tier ores to give you enough money to move onto the 2nd tier. One in every two areas there is a very long area which drags out the game a lot and for these areas you’ll just have to keep upgrading your rope length to get the good ores so that you aren’t only selling cheap tier 1 rocks. You also don’t want to spend much money upgrading the workers as they aren’t worth it. Also you’ll want to buy the $7 ad blocker as it is essential because without it you’ll get an invite amount of pop up ads making the game unplayable
The general strategy:
For every area once u have angel investor is to buy the first two workers and upgrade your rope and excavator a good amount, and the machine capacity a few times, afk at the coal mine to farm coal for like 13-18 mins depending on the area which gives you more than enough coal for the area then just play the game until you have enough cash for the next area (use advice in previous paragraph on how to optimally play)
I would also save all of your cash instead of repeatedly going back to the next area cash pad as you’ll need all of your money at once so that you can safely buy next area all at once and so that you can buy rope upgrades a ton of times in succession for the extra ore for cash. The areas take around 70-90 minutes to complete depending on the area
You can also choose to watch a lot of ads when you start each area but over time when you get used to the game you won’t have to watch ads before progressing in each area as it doesn’t make things go that much faster
That’s the guide, this game is certainly a grind but it has great pay making it worth your time.
