Simulator

Quickstart

1. On your first spawn, look for the Prospector Phone in your inventory. You also receive a Prospector Loot Box and seven Water Bottles.
2. Use the phone and choose Scan for ore. Follow the listed ore locations, mine what you find, then open the phone again and choose Sell mined materials to earn money.
3. Spend your earnings in the phone’s App Store. The first browser upgrade costs $100; better browser levels scan farther and can reveal rarer ores.
4. Explore for a Phone Store to upgrade your handset. Its entrance opens the store menu when you interact with it.
5. Keep an eye on your water level in the phone menu, and drink Water Bottles as needed.

Overview

Simulator turns prospecting into a money-making loop: scan for ore, mine it yourself, sell valuable materials, and spend your earnings on better scanning and phone upgrades. Phone apps and extra equipment add trading, survival, and combat options as you progress.

What It Adds

• Prospector Phone: A menu for ore scans, selling materials, upgrades, and other apps.
• Browser upgrades: Higher levels extend scan range and detect more valuable ores.
• Phone Stores: Store entrances appear around the world. You can also craft a Phone Store Building item.
• Mining finds and gear: Prospector Ore, Titanium, Rainbow Ore, Infinity Stone, and equipment made from these materials.
• Creatures and combat: Scrapbots and the bosses Cosmic Knight, King, and Robotic King, alongside weapons and armor.
• Extra phone features: Marketplaces, banking, lottery, fitness and hydration tools, and other apps unlock as you progress.

How To Use

Phone and browser

Use the Prospector Phone to open its menu:

• Scan for ore lists detected blocks and their coordinates. The scan does not mine them for you.
• Sell mined materials exchanges eligible items in your inventory for money.
• Open App Store lets you buy browser levels and install apps.
• Water shows your current water level. It decreases over time, so drink a Water Bottle before it runs out.
• Auto-Mine Settings becomes available at browser level 650.

The starting browser detects common ores such as coal, copper, and iron. Further upgrades expand its range and reveal higher-tier ores.

Phone Stores

Phone Stores appear at locations around the world. Interact with a store entrance to enter and open its upgrade menu. Each handset upgrade extends the browser’s scan range:

Phone Stores can also serve as shelter during tornado warnings. Fully enclosed rooms provide shelter too.

Apps and other features

Browser levels unlock additional options: Amazon at level 2, WatchTube at level 3, and eBay at level 4. The phone also offers features such as banking, trading, and a lottery; some advanced apps require much higher browser levels.

Crafting And Obtaining

The Prospector Phone is granted on first spawn. These recipes are crafted at a crafting table; recipe images open the full recipe when selected.

Abilities And Mechanics

Selling pays different amounts for different materials. Some useful prices per item include:

Browser milestones can bring boss encounters close to you: expect an encounter at each 100-level milestone, with all three named bosses appearing at 1,000-level milestones. Gear up before making large browser upgrades.

Progression And Strategy

• Start by scanning and selling common finds. Your first browser upgrades cost $100, $300, and $800, so early sales can quickly improve your range.
• Pair browser upgrades with handset upgrades: browser levels improve what you can detect, while better phones increase scan range.
• Save valuable materials when you want to craft equipment; selling them instead can speed up your next upgrade.
• Prepare for boss encounters before crossing browser milestones, and keep Water Bottles handy while exploring.
