How DeepCore works

Every player digs the same 200 × 200-tile mine. It is replaced by a fresh one every 20 minutes, and you get 10 swings in each. A swing opens a hole as wide as your pickaxe's power and uses one point of its durability.

You start digging with your hands, one tile per swing. The shop sells 13 pickaxes for NUG, from the Stone Pickaxe (150 NUG) up to the Quantum Pickaxe (power 10, 500 swings), and a Stone Pickaxe is sometimes buried in the mine.

Ore you uncover goes straight into your inventory. There are 20 ores in five rarity tiers, from coal and copper up to starcore and riftstone. See all 20 ores.

In the forge you burn the ores in a miner's recipe to build it. The Copper Miner needs 6 Coal and 9 Copper and produces 1,000 H/s. Every new account gets one free to start with. Tier 1 miners cost only ore; tier 2 and up also cost NUG.

There are 15 miners in total. Compare every recipe and hashrate.

A miner only works once it is placed in your Mining Room. Your first room has 10 slots, and the hashrate of every placed miner adds up.

Pools are where hashrate turns into rewards. There is a NUG pool and 5 crypto pools: Litecoin, Solana, XRP, Dogecoin, Tron. Every minute each pool splits its reward between everyone in it, in proportion to hashrate.

For example, a Sulfur Miner (2,500 H/s) in a pool running 1,000,000 H/s in total takes 0.25% of that pool's reward each minute. When more players join the pool, everyone's share shrinks. Each pool shows its daily budget and your current share, so you can see what you are actually earning.

Crypto your miners earn can be withdrawn to your FaucetPay account. Set your FaucetPay username or email once in Settings and confirm your email there; your account must be at least 3 days old before the first withdrawal. Requests are queued and paid out to FaucetPay.

The minimum is 0.00002 of any coin (LTC, SOL, XRP, DOGE, TRX). NUG itself is never withdrawn: it is the in-game currency.
