Cobalt Miner

About this game

🌵 A debt you can’t escape

It’s 2046. Water is scarce. Land is barren. Corporations rule everything. You are bound by a contract you never truly understood - a massive debt owed to a ruthless megacorporation. The only way out?

Extract. Build. Expand. Survive.

Every unit of cobalt you mine brings you closer to freedom… or deeper into the system.

⛏️ MINING & RESOURCE EXTRACTION

Start with basic tools and carve your way through a harsh, dry landscape rich in valuable minerals.

  • Mine cobalt and rare resources

  • Discover new deposits across expanding regions

  • Manage limited energy and equipment durability

  • Optimize routes between extraction sites and storage

  • Sell resources and crafted goods in settlements

What begins as manual labor quickly becomes a logistical challenge.

🤖 AUTOMATION & PRODUCTION

You weren’t meant to do this alone.

Build a growing industrial network in the middle of nowhere:

  • Deploy automated drills and extractors

  • Use drones to transport and manage resources

  • Create processing chains to refine raw materials

  • Expand with storage units and power systems

Design your own efficient production system - or watch it collapse under its own weight.

🔧 CRAFTING & UPGRADES

Turn raw materials into survival.

  • Craft tools, machines, and infrastructure

  • Upgrade your gear, extraction speed, and efficiency

  • Improve your electric motorbike for longer expeditions

  • Unlock advanced technologies as your operation grows

Every upgrade is a step toward independence - and a bigger target on your back.

🏍️ EXPLORATION & TRAVEL

The world is vast. And it doesn’t care about you.

Travel across desolate terrain:

  • Explore new zones filled with resources and secrets

  • Ride your electric motorbike across long distances

  • Manage battery levels - always carry spares

  • Navigate hazards, abandoned sites, and hidden locations

Freedom is out there. But reaching it won’t be easy.

🏙️ STORY & WORLD

You’re not alone in this broken system.

  • Meet people trying to survive under corporate control

  • Trade in remote settlements and struggling towns

  • Uncover stories hidden beneath contracts and machines

  • Decide how far you’re willing to go to clear your debt

Not everyone believes in freedom anymore.
