The Mountain Is a Machine

Run a company dig site at the foot of a mountain that hums. Build belts and machines, fix a giant drill and bore down through six layers to find what's making the noise.

You run a company dig site at the foot of Old Thrum. Lay belts, place miners and machines, repair a giant broken drill, and bore down through six layers: the Surface, the Shallows, the Fungal Caverns, the Crystal Depths, the Magma Shelf and the Alien Strata.

Each layer is its own factory floor, linked to the others by freight elevators, with one strange material and one hazard that you learn to turn into a tool. The Company sends contracts, sells licenses and runs the power line; the Field Manual covers the basics.

Version 0.2, "Build it yourself", starts a new game with only the HQ, a Terminal and a Drill, and walks you through building the first line step by step, with a hint and a map marker for each step.
