Gameplay

You start the game with three workers and a map. The game has a high learning curve and can be quite confusing in the beginning. We strongly recommend going over the official tutorials in the official prospectors.io Youtube channel which we included in this guide.

You can choose to play for free and slowly work your way up by letting your workers do some manual work like moving material around the map. Or invest some money to rent a plot, which will allow you to advance in the game, and hopefully return your investment and start earning crypto a lot faster. Your main goal is to accumulate in-game gold, which you can then exchange for real crypto. There are many ways to accumulate wealth. Mine resources like coal, iron, clay, wood, stone, and refine them to construct mines, factories, and other industrial buildings and tools. Trade with other players or form alliances and work together towards a common goal.

You will assign actions to your workers, and let it play out in real-time. Some activities can take a few hours, so you will need to plan out your strategy and keep coming back to the game to give your workers new orders.

Gold, The In-game currency

Gold serves as the main game currency and the means for all economic relations. You will need gold to upgrade your account, pay workers, trade, and pay taxes. A player can earn gold via multiple game assets, or mine it with the appropriate tools on the lot. To register and use a lot, a player has to pay a fee to the State. Each time a player mine gold, the complexity of mining increases, until the depletion of the deposit. Mining efficiency can also be increased using technologies.

PGL token, your way of earning crypto

The amount of PGL is limited to 220 000 000 tokens, which is the approximate amount of all the planet’s gold. Players can withdraw gold from the game and convert it to PGL tokens, which can then be exchanged to other cryptocurrencies. Therefore in-game gold also has value in the real world. PGL holders are the direct owners of The Prospectors.io. Players can stake their PGL tokens and receive rewards or enter the Board of Council and influence the decisions on the project.
