Dredge the depths of the earth for its bountiful riches!

Be careful around the local wildlife, which may be hostile!

Don't forget to watch your hull integrity, temperature reading, and most importantly your fuel gauge!

The deeper you dig, the tougher the rock gets, the warmer the planet's crust becomes, and the more valuable the riches grow! Use your mined haul to upgrade your vehicle's equipment in order to dig deeper, for longer, and gather more minerals before surfacing to trade in your haul.

Deep under the surface lurks something, which it may behoove you not to disturb...

CONTROLS

• Moving - WASD / Arrow Keys will drive your vehicle around.
  • W/up will engage integrated thrusters to lift you up, which may be important for slowing your fall.
• Mining - "Move" into solid ground to begin drilling into it.
  • You must be on solid ground in order to get purchase enough to mine, you cannot mine upwards, or to the side while hovering in the air.
• Menuing - X, Q, shift, escape, and the right mouse button will all engage or disengage the menu.
  • You can navigate the menu with the same keys you use to move in the world.
  • While away from the "SHOP", you can inspect your vehicle's "specifications" and your cargo hold, but you can't upgrade or sell, only look or toss unwanted resources taking up precious space.
• Marketing - "Menu"ing while in front of the "SHOP" will access its unique services
  • These include refueling, repairing hull, stocking up on consumables like bombs and emergency fuel tanks, selling recovered resources, and- most importantly- upgrading your vehicle!
• Materiel - (Okay that's a stretch, but look it up!) Z, E, space, enter, and the left mouse button will...
  • Held down in the world, open the consumable sub-menu. Hold a directional key (WASD or arrow keys) and release the "Materiel" key to select one of the four consumables. (It's juuust a touch awkward, sorry about that.)
  • Tapped in the world, immediately use the selected consumable. Place bombs, refill fuel tanks, engage coolant mechanisms, and call for a rescue service... all of them have their uses!
  • Tapped, or held, in a menu- purchasing, selecting, moving from menu to menu, this should make sense.
  (I recommend arrow keys + Z + X)
