Vehicles & Logistics Guide

All 9 vehicles compared: 5 cargo haulers and 4 drill machines. Plus the Unloader system that determines your factory throughput.

Cargo Vehicles

Passive transport vehicles for hauling mined resources from The Mine back to your factory Unloader. The v0.5.0 update made vehicle mounting instant (previously 0.5s hold).

Super Crawler — The Ultimate Hauler

The Super Crawler boasts 180-item capacity, a low-profile chassis for tight tunnels, 4-wheel steering (added in v0.3.0), and a passenger seat for cooperative logistics. It replaced manual pickaxe hauling as the dominant late-game transport meta.

Drill Vehicles

Active drilling machines that destroy voxels on contact, eliminating manual pickaxe labor. They also carry mined items. Spawned exclusively at the Vehicle Spawner on your plot.

Exa-Drill$8,000,000120 items5.02.65.0

Exa-Drill — Apex Excavator

The $8M Exa-Drill obliterates nearly any material, holds 120 items, and has top-tier grip (5.0). Price was increased from $6M→$8M in v0.5.4 due to its economy-breaking power. V0.5.7 fixed the exit clipping bug and restored proper prestige power upgrade scaling.

Power Drill — Best Mid-Tier

At $800K (increased from $750K in v0.5.4), the Power Drill offers excellent speed (5.7), 48-item capacity, and active drilling. The best value drill vehicle before you can afford the Exa-Drill.

Unloader System

The Unloader on your factory plot determines how quickly you can offload vehicle cargo. A mismatched unloader creates a severe bottleneck—a Super Crawler (180 items) on a Level 1 Unloader (12 capacity) requires 15 deposit cycles.

Save System (v0.4.0+)

Vehicle cargo, backpack contents, and factory unloader queues are automatically saved on quit. V0.5.5 also saves items on conveyor belts between sessions, preventing assembly line stalls.
