Motherload

Welcome to Motherload, a thrilling mining game where you take control of a powerful pod and embark on a quest to dig up valuable resources. Your objective is to delve deep into the ground, collect minerals, and return them to the mineral processing plant for profit.

As you navigate the depths, remember to be strategic in your movements. Move adjacent to or below diggable material to excavate it, but beware that drilling straight up is not possible. Prior to starting your mining operation, ensure your fuel tank is filled at the fuel station. If you find yourself far away from a charging station, make use of bottles of compressed fuel to keep going.

The minerals you gather can be traded for cash, which you can then use to purchase upgrades. Enhance your pod’s capabilities by investing in upgrades such as fuel tank expansions, increased cargo capacity, improved drills, more powerful engines, reinforced hulls, and efficient radiators. These upgrades are automatically applied upon purchase. Should your pod become too heavy to stay airborne, click on minerals to discard them and lighten your load. Additionally, advanced nanobots will repair your pod if the repair station is out of reach.

Your journey will take you deep underground, where rare artifacts and resources await. With upgraded equipment, you can venture to greater depths, discovering precious minerals like platinum and emeralds. As you delve further, you may even stumble upon religious artifacts that instantly reward you with $50,000.

Embrace the thrilling challenges of Motherload as you navigate the depths, upgrade your pod, and unearth valuable resources. Fuel up, sell your minerals, and become a master miner in this captivating underground adventure.
