Shafted

Shafted is a micro-mining simulator about quickly expanding and managing a mining colony. Each round is short: you extract resources, build out your operation and deal with alien clients who arrive to collect contract payments. Clear them out to end the day.

Build your colony

You expand with mining equipment and build different harvesters, each of which provides a unique production bonus. The colony uses four primary minerals, each with a special purpose: Stone, Copper, Iron and Gold.

Optimize each mineshaft

Each mineshaft presents a new optimization challenge. Configure paths to maximize profits, spend money from your bank to upgrade equipment and prioritize your plans.

Turn-based tactics

You plan where to place your units each day, with no time limit, then react to alien clients' attacks. On future stages, you also manage grid expansions.
