Where Wooden Clubs Meet Satoshi Mining Rigs

Key game features combine traditional survival with advanced technology. Players begin with a Wooden Club, gathering Wood and Stone to craft basic tools like the Axe and Pickaxe. Progress through three Workbench tiers unlocks advanced crafting.

Power systems are central to progression. Build Solar Panels and Batteries to power Satoshi Miners and Mining Racks, generating valuable in-game currency. Set up Vending Machines for automated trading.

Base building advances from basic materials to complex electrical systems. Install Ceiling Lamps and Industrial Lamps for lighting. Store resources in Large Wood Boxes and establish sustainable food production with Planter Boxes and Chicken Houses.

Farm Wheat, Flax, Carrots and Potatoes in Planter Boxes and Advanced Planter Boxes. Tame a loyal Companion who follow you home and capture Wild Chickens for your Chicken House to produce eggs.

Combat features multiple weapon tiers from basic Bows to military-grade firearms like the AK47, Uzi, and Pistol. Craft various ammo types and protect yourself with armor progressing from Bush and Leather gear to full Military equipment.

The pinnacle of technology involves collecting and assembling nuclear components - the Nuke Core, Case, Reflector, Trigger, Timer and Frame. Food systems range from basic Grilled Meat to complex recipes like Stew and Fish Dishes.

This combination of primitive survival elements with cryptocurrency and nuclear technology creates a unique progression path from basic survivor to technological powerhouse.
