From bucket to mining business

You start small with a bucket and hog pan, lease your first claim, and dig for gold you can sell. Earnings go back into the operation: better claims, higher tiers, and more efficient wash plant parts that raise your take. The loop is simple and satisfying for tycoon fans — work the dirt, weigh the gold, decide what to upgrade next. With four claims set in Alaska and deformable terrain to chew through, there is always another patch of ground that might pay for the next machine.

Heavy machines that need care

Your crew is all steel: excavator, drill, front-end loader, bulldozer and more, all driven in first person across an open world. Steering well matters, because the whole operation depends on it. Parts can break when least expected and repairs cost real money, so you balance pushing hard against keeping everything running. The vehicles and mining machines are highly detailed, which makes parking a new upgrade next to the old bucket feel like progress. Your accountant is a wash plant, and it never sleeps.

What else should tycoon fans know?

Can you play it solo or with others?

It supports single-player and co-op, so you can run your claim alone or share the digging, driving and maintenance work with others.

How big is the world you mine in?

It has a large open world with four unique gold mining claims, each with fully deformable terrain and its own background story to find when you take a break from digging.
