🎮 QTE Mining Mechanic
Mining uses a QTE (Quick Time Event) system. Start mining a rock node, hit the correct keys in sequence to successfully extract the resource.
⚡ How It Works
- Approach a rock node — scattered across Ridge B Valley
- Activate mining with the Pickaxe equipped
- Follow the QTE sequence — keys appear on screen; press them in the correct order before the timer runs out
- Success → resource collected. Failure → mining interrupted, node may need cooldown
🎯 Difficulty Scaling
Regular Mining
- Shorter QTE sequences
- More forgiving timing
- Applies to Common → Very Rare tiers
☄️ Meteor Mining
- Much harder QTE
- Longer key sequences
- Tighter timing window
📽️ QTE Demo
The Pickaxe Trello card includes a QTE demo GIF (qte.gif).

☄️ Meteor Shower Mining
During a Meteor Shower event, one interactable meteor lands at a random location on the map. Only one meteor spawns per shower event.
🔑 Key Details
Event Trigger
- 🔒 Unknown spawn frequency
- 🔒 Unknown server population requirement
- One meteor per shower
Meteor Mechanics
- Random map location
- Much harder QTE than normal mining
- Yields Meteor Shards
- 🔒 Respawn after success/failure unknown
💡 Trello card note: "During a Meteor Shower, one interactable meteor that you can mine for meteor shards will land on a random location of the map (it has a much harder QTE)."
🔥 Smelting Chain
Raw ores can be smelted into metal ingots at Flint | Blacksmith. Ingots are used to craft advanced tools and weapons.
🔒 Smelting recipe details are pending. We need the Flint Blacksmith Trello card to verify:
- Required fuel type (Coal?)
- Ore-to-ingot ratios
- Ingot → tool/weapon recipes
- 🔒 Find Flint Blacksmith card on Trello →

❓ Frequently Asked Questions
How many resources can the Pickaxe mine?
13 resource types total across 5 rarity tiers. See the full resource table above.
What is the rarest mineable resource?
Zicardite is the rarest naturally occurring ore. Meteor Shards are event-only and require a much harder QTE sequence.
Does Coal explode when mined?
No — that mechanic was removed. Coal originally had a 1/90 explosion chance, but Sunl1t removed it on 2026-10-27. Current Coal mining is completely safe.
How do I get the Pickaxe?
Buy it from Pickaxe Girl at the Digsite for 250 Moola. That's it — no quest required, just walk up and purchase.
Where do Meteor Showers happen?
During a Meteor Shower event, the meteor lands at a random location on the world map. There's only one meteor per shower.
What do I do with the ores I mine?
Raw ores can be smelted into ingots at Flint | Blacksmith, which are then used to craft advanced tools and weapons. Full smelting recipes pending.
