Mining, trees, and dungeons

Once machines exist, the map asks you to leave the rock: mine ore, chop trees, train, and run dungeons. These loops feed gates that Energy boards do not cover. They are exits from the highway, not a replacement for it.

Mining ladder

Public badges name a depth ladder and nothing finer: mine your first ore (Miner), mine a Gold Ore (Gold Digger), mine a Uranium ore (Deep Miner), then mine Osmium (To the Earth Core). Osmium is the deepest badge in that public set. Low completion is normal. Do not abandon Energy and Prestige for an Osmium chase.

Unlock mining through the machine line. Buy speed before cosmetic ore cards. Run a short ore lap after an Energy spend pass. If a chapter hard-requires one ore, bias upgrades toward it until the gate opens, then rebalance. No public source lists drop rates or forge recipes, so those numbers are not guessed here.

Trees

The Logs badge says it is time to cut trees. The tree family that shows up across guides and in-game systems is chop, then sap, logs, and roots.

1. Chop for the base resource. Some chop actions are proximity based, so stand close enough to register.
2. Spend sap with a plan. A sap reset is a reset. Know what you keep.
3. Push log perks when they open a multiplier you already need.
4. Fund roots when roots are the bottleneck.

Buy tree automation when the game sells it. Endless chopping with full sap, logs, and roots unspent is a stall.

Training, monsters, and dungeons

After Stage Reset, the in-game G guide is reported to surface Monster goals alongside Life, Cells, Logs, Research, and Terraform. Training that public gameplay describes is Strength and Health. Feed actions exist as a monster interaction. Species names, health bars, and drop tables are not in the public badge set, so they are not listed here.

Manual order:

1. Train Strength and Health before deep pulls.
2. Fight the highest tier you can clear, not the highest tier that defeats you.
3. Spend souls or dungeon currency on clear speed or training efficiency.
4. Soul-rank reset only with a named rank buy and a short rebuild.

Life and terraform

Unlock Life means you start earning Cells. Fossils are the second small reset. Terraform is the world-looking reset. Fund the minimum to keep those boards alive when they appear, buy the node that removes the current gate, and return to Energy. Life is a chapter system, not the starter loop.

A field rotation

1. Energy and the next factory unlock.
2. Crystal merge and a magnet sweep.
3. Ore lap.
4. Tree chop and a sap, log, or roots spend.
5. Train or one dungeon evaluation.
6. Back to Energy.

Skip a step that is already automated and park on the bottleneck. If Energy is still the empty currency, leave the field.
