Silke’s Quarry
The Quarries are a method of slow, yet exponential fire-and-forget wealth multiplication. It attempts to solve the endgame question, of "what do I do once I’ve mined most of the map?". Plus, I’m just a fan of renewable resources, because the concept of encroaching finality scares me.
You would begin with a lesser key, made out of raw material you wish to "mine" for. That key can be used in the quarry indefinitely, for a tiny chance at returning the raw material that was used in the key’s creation. You may notice some accumulating sludge – that is used to upgrade the keys. It is not exactly realistic, but it works.
At higher key tiers, mining consumes meals. You may also build a magma quarry, which does not consume meals but has to be built over magma like a magma furnace.
I hope to keep an eye on this mod for the next few weeks, and update what I can to make the experience smoother.
