Expendable Drillers

Mars mining management

Expendable Drillers is a PC mining and base-management game about digging a shaft on Mars for Vexley Mining Corp. You drag to dig, build rooms, and bore downward floor by floor. Drill rigs extract ore, which the shuttle sells when it lands every 30 seconds. The deeper the rigs sit, the more ore they dig.

Your crew handles the work, but their needs take planning. Miners get hungry, tired and bored, need toilets, and can fall asleep on ladders. Canteens, bunks, rec rooms, lounges and toilets help keep them working. Generators power the base, while air scrubbers and an air plant keep it breathable. Add too many powered buildings and the lights dim and the whole operation slows down.
