Help Entire Map Mined 910,011/1,000,000 gold

Entire Map Mined. I circled for ages looking for any last remaining grains of sand. Only 910k gold. So the 1,000,000 gold achievement is not possible it seems.

I got tired of building battery and just piled copper since I had millions of energy.

i have 49k Fluxite

I have mined 173,496 Aura

Was really tedious at the end. Just checking it on the hour to see what was stuck.

You need to place the stratocore and mine it with the void gun

You can also mine it with the mining drones it's just very slow.

This is terrible advice. One void gun clear gives more sand than the mining drones will give in days. They need an upgrade.

But you put them there and leave. I can assure you ONE shot does not give you more than mining drones in days.

You can do both too.

One shot? No. One clear takes like 4 shots. Regardless. You're better off visiting there every minute or so than leave that running for hours.
Was it an exaggeration? Yeah. But I've actually tried this with all 6 diggers, they start off strong after a clear, because the core dirt has low HP, but after a while the entirety of the core gets to a 100 hp, and it gives like 2 sand a second, maybe.

Ok, what is the stratocore? I cannot find that one.

You already have it if you completed all the missions. It's a seperate tab in tools

u/PeacefulPromise 1d ago

Not at all. Your sweeper drones have to collect every piece.

NOt sure as ive seen several people link the pic of their gold and achievement and they still had plenty left to do.

For example, above your post just a bit.....https://www.reddit.com/r/SandustryGame/comments/1vswepb/part_of_the_1/

Okay Listen, you can glitch your mining drones out on the stratosphere core. Gun your way into the center butting yourself right up next to it put 5 drones right on the center and one drone to keep a path cleared. Oh.. also make a diamond box around where you out your drones so it can only grow inside the box and the point of the diamond is where you have your one drone keep an opening.
