01
Open a compartment and put the ore to work
In CoralBlox’s August 29 recording, the tutorial first rolls Stone Ore and shows a $0 purchase. The player then opens the first tunnel marked FREE. The next instruction is to select the Stone Ore from the inventory; the following mining scene shows the filled compartment and drone.
Follow the game’s placement prompt with the ore selected. Opening the tunnel alone leaves empty space. The tutorial’s free purchase and opening are starting-state offers, not a price guide for later ores or slots.
02
Collect the output the drone produces
Once the ore is in place, the drone works at the compartment. When output is ready, approach the collection area and use its pickup prompt. The tutorial shows the player carrying a wooden crate away from the compartment.
Keep these two jobs separate: the drone mines, while the player handles this recorded pickup and sale. This sequence does not prove automatic selling, an unlimited crate queue or a storage cap.
03
Bring the crate to Sell Ores
Walk the crate to the nearby counter labelled Sell Ores and use E when the Sell Ores prompt appears. In this tutorial, the wallet starts at $1,000 and reads $1,066 after the sale. That $66 is one recorded crate payment, not a fixed reward for every crate.
