It is important to note that if you complete an objective before talking to the specific person (Ex: Talking to the windmill guy after collecting the sand) they won’t understand that you completed the objective unless you step a couple steps away and come back into the talking range.

**8 Coal** - Dig straight down, five at the most, gather the correct amount of coal. After you get it, sell it at the shop. (The “We Buy Ores” Sign).

**10 Coal** - Dig straight down from the Ore Shop and gather 10 coal. You want to gather in a way to where you are at the “No Hope” building by the time you get 10 coal. Give the apartment man your $250 and your coal.

**5 Iron** - Go to the upgrade shop (Blue roof building), buy the gold chassis and dig straight down. Get 5 Iron and fill the rest of your inventory with coal. Give your 5 Iron to the power guy right beside the apartment.

**12 Coal** -, Grab your last 5 coal you need. Digging straight down from the power place. Bring back the power guy’s coal.

**Sand** - Head back to the upgrade shop and buy the Sapphire Drill. Then head all the way to right to grab the sand you’ll need. The fastest way to do this is zig zag down the third layer, all of the way over, and then grab the top two layers. Once you have 30 sand, you can head back. Give the windmill guy his 30 sand.

**$7500** - Head the upgrade shop, get a small battery and Cooling Liquid IV. The longest split is here. Just collect Wolfram (and some Gold, but not a lot) to get $7500 in cash. For your first fill up under the second rock layer, you’ll want to sell the ores, go back to upgrade shop and grab the Smaragd Chassis to increase your inventory space. Your second time down for the $7500 going to the left will be your safest bet to find more ores that you won’t need during the next split. When you come back up, you’ll want to buy another battery, so grab a medium battery before you go back down. Continue off to the right above the rock layer. Once you have a full inventory, head back up to the top and sell all the ores and head to the upgrade shop. All of that is to get Cooling Liquid V.

**15 Wolfram** - Now at first, we aren’t actually going to get Wolfram first. We are going to dig all the way down and mainly get Smaragd (the green stuff). We will sell this to buy the Ruby Chassis, Ruby Drill, and Large Battery from the upgrade shop. Now go down, grab your 15 wolfram, and get as much Smaragd as you can to fill the rest of your inventory. You’ll head up to the scientist in the research lab to give your wolfram to.

**20 Smaragd** - Easiest split, yeah! Get 20 Smaragd, fill the rest of your inventory with Rubies. Head back to the scientist to deliver the Smaragd. He’ll have you rolling in cash for the last part of the run.

**25 Ruby + Core** - Head back to the upgrade stop one last time. Buy the Diamond Chassis and the Diamond Drill and make a break for the bottom. You’ll need 25 rubies and get the core in the middle of bottom. Once both the Rubies and the Core are collected…

**Win** - Head up to the Ruby lady, give her the rubies and then head back to the scientist and give him the core. Time ends when the screen “You Made it!” appears.

Tutorial text skipping

Load up a new save file and run through all of the tutorials, including the store, 50% energy, and 50% health.  Do NOT save.  After finishing all of the tutorials you want to skip, press ESC and exit to the menu.  Re-start on the same save file.  Voila.

As long as you do not save or grab the Core, you can keep restarting this way without having to skip the text again.  The game auto-saves when you grab the Core.
