About

Somewhere in the void hangs a mass of 719 million blocks. Every player on the server is mining the same one. Every block you cut stays cut, for everyone, permanently. When the mass falls, the season ends, the record is written, and a fresh mass forms.
Fly a first-person mining drone, put your crosshair on a block, and cut. Fragments fund the workshop:

Wider cutter heads and deeper bores
Chain reactions and material scanners
Escort drones that cut alongside you
A salvage rig that keeps earning while you're offline
Drone shells every other miner can see

The deeper you go, the harder the material and the richer the yield. Four strata, each with its own look, toughness and price. Twenty
work orders from Field Control mark the way. Milestones are announced at 50, 90 and 99 percent, and the fall itself is a server-wide
finale: duration, top contributors, and every miner present, written into season history.

Season Zero: The First Mass is live now. When it falls, you'll be on the record.

Updates

3 updates
Version 1.2 Balancing and Cutter update 7 × 7 Wide Cutter Head — a new top tier above 5 × 5 5 changes

Added

  • 7 × 7 Wide Cutter Head — a new top tier above 5 × 5
  • Call for a hand: aim at a link node and press E to request help

Improved
