Still Digging: Cat Merge Mine

A crew of cat miners subcontracts for a giant corporation. You're the boss. Clocking out? Not until it's all dug up. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ NOW HIRING: Boss, Catch Mining (1 position, start immediately) ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ■ ABOUT US A tiny subcontractor for the prime, Nominal Industries. The mine collapsed, the budget was denied, and all that's left is a few cat miners. Head Office has never shown its face. Only memos. ■ THE JOB - Hiring: stamp the applications. Roxy, the recruiter Head Office sent over, runs the interviews. "Keep expectations moderate." - Site command: head into the Breakthrough, send cats from your hand to the board, and merge matching cats. The cats swing the picks themselves. - Weak spots: every ore vein has a weakness. Build your squad around Precision, Heavy, or Blast to land critical hits. - OVERHEAT management: every merge fills the gauge. When it's full: OVERHEAT. For a while, everyone hits harder and tires slower. - Facility recovery: every floor you break digs out another buried room. The Office, Storage, the Market, the Workshop, the Dig Site. - Hands-on digging: Ricky runs the Dig Site but has no crew yet. The pickaxe is yours, boss. ■ WORKING CONDITIONS - Location: a collapsed mine. It gets bigger the deeper you go. - Hours: until it's all dug up. - Close the game and the cats keep mining. Your share is settled up when you're back. - Hazard pay: 320 gold. Allocated. Disbursement date undetermined. ■ PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS - Able to look the other way when shavings don't make it into the ledger - The nerve to deal with the Market at the end of the alley. Copper, the fox who runs it, calls it Cost Recovery. - Comfortable with Off-Book Retrofits nobody signed off on. "The ledger will record this as 'stationery'." ■ NOTES FROM THE SITE - Do not ride the cart home. Marlo can't say no. - Noises from the level below — we've decided not to look into them. Head Office policy, and for once I agree. ■ HOW TO APPLY Install → straight down the shaft. Paperwork comes later. ■ AT A GLANCE - Idle mine management + active merge mining - Side-view auto-mining with a merge board below - Squads built around each vein's weakness; slabs picked every run - A cross-section mine town that comes back to life as you dig, with offline earnings - Hiring, field gear, Off-Book Retrofits, Work Orders, and a company story told chapter by chapter ■ GOOD TO KNOW - Free to play, with optional rewarded ads and in-app purchases.
