Motherload is a classic mining game where you dig deep into the ground of an alien planet to mine various raw materials. This addictive title was released in 2004 using Flash, but you can play it here in HTML5.
How to Play Motherload
Mine deep into the ground
Your mission is to mine resources, bring them back to the mineral processing plant, and sell them.
Refuel and sell your minerals
Initially, your mining vehicle wont be able to travel far, and youll need to resurface frequently to refuel and sell your resources.
Upgrade your capabilities
You can purchase various upgrades to your fuel tank, cargo capacity, drill, engine, hull, and radiator using your earned money. Youll find these at the junk shop. Beside this shop is the emendation station where you can get your hull repaired. You can also purchase one-off items like spare fuel tanks and explosives here.
Find rare artifacts and resources
Once youve made some upgrades, youll be able to travel deeper into the ground safely, where youll find more valuable minerals like platinum and emeralds. Once you hit roughly -1000 ft, youll also find religious artifacts that instantly grant you $50,000.
Motherload Tips
There are precious resources the deeper you go, like religious artifacts - so focus on getting there as quickly as you can
Use backup fuel tanks to prolong your mining expeditions
Use your flying ability to avoid fall damage
Running out of petrol makes you explode, so think carefully about how far you travel
