Paystreak is a top-down gold mining tycoon about running your own modern day gold rush. Take over a small claim, start by hand, and reinvest every ounce into machines, crews, and new land. Sell when the price is right and turn a struggling camp into a mining empire.
Long description
The road from a single gold pan to the biggest operation in the valley runs through you. Keep the diesel flowing, the crew paid and your timing sharp, because gold is only worth what the market pays the day you sell.
You've inherited a gold claim lease from your late uncle, a creek he never got to work. The ground is rich, he just ran out of seasons. Now it's yours, and his old friend Errol is here to help you get started.
Start by hand in the river: upgrade from a pan to a shovel and wash your first dirt in the plant. Earn enough and the whole operation shifts gears: rent or buy machines, hire crews, keep the diesel and spare parts coming, and time your sales against a moving gold market. You get eight months each year, and when winter freezes the ground solid, the dig stops, but the bills don't.
Features
- 10+ machines: bulldozers, loaders, excavators, dump trucks, drill rig, water pumps and multi-tier wash plants.
- Crews: the mine won't run by itself, hire different types of workers, each one with a job the mine can't run without.
- Fuel: machines burn diesel, order deliveries in time to make sure you never run dry.
- Breakdowns: machines will break down eventually. Stock spare parts and keep mechanics on hand, or watch production grind to a halt.
- The bank: take a loan to scale fast or save you in bad times, but the monthly payments come due whether the gold flows or not.
- Lease or buy claims: leasing is cheap up front but the owner takes a cut of every ounce. Buying costs a pile, then the ground is yours.
- Permafrost: only the heaviest machines can break it, and the deepest, richest paystreaks wait down there.
- Time the market: the gold price rises and falls. Stockpile, watch the chart, and sell at the peak. But don't stockpile so long that a crash leaves you unable to pay your bills.
