The tunnel bore doing its work.
Ok, this round gave me great progress thanks to the two biggest investments I made: The tunnel bore machine and the lumber axe. Both of these required a massive amount of resources. It was totally worth it however.
The tunnel bore sucked up a lot of iron to make the machine itself and the railroad tracks it needed to operate on. It turned out to be a highly productive investment as it delivered a ton of stone, iron, coal, and even diamonds in return.
The lumber axe is a completely different story. I wanted this tool because it cuts down entire trees by simply chopping one block of the tree compared to my old axe—which needed to cut each individual block one at a time.
First I needed the compressor to make a special kind of steel plates, and that machine needed a microchip that is made in an assembly table powered by lasers. Making that table and laser took all ten diamonds I got from my mining efforts. After I had the compressor, I could make the forge with the plates. This forge allowed me to make the expensive lumber axe. All of this took all my diamonds and a large amount of steel to accomplish. Despite that, I can now level forests in no time.
I personally feel both were good investments because now I I’m seeing a massive increase in stone and wood stocks. This will speed up all construction in my settlement and the mines below.
My next goal is to move into the industrial age. I need a reliable supply of energy and a ton of iron to make the enormous machines that will forever reshape the landscape.
The first step will be the windmill. I’ll need a metal former for that.
