Buildings

Buildings do not mine on their own, they multiply what the drill produces. Every level of any building adds +20% mining speed, and the levels of all four add up into one multiplier.

Building multiplier = 1 + 20% × (sum of all building levels)
The cap is 10 levels per building. All four at maximum give +800% speed, so mining grows 9x. Fully upgrading every building costs 82 500 CROWN.
Mine Shaftbase 200 CROWN per level
Elevatorbase 300 CROWN per level
Warehousebase 400 CROWN per level
Smelterybase 600 CROWN per level

Prices per level

The level cost grows linearly: base price × level number. Each building has its own base price.

How the warehouse differs

The warehouse gives more than speed: it also sets how much ore and gold you can hold, and each of its levels doubles the capacity. Details are in the Warehouse section.
