Drill to Earth's Core Guides
Every Drill to Earth's Core guide on the site, grouped by what you need first: starting out, getting deeper and the loot along the way. Each one is built from the sources listed at its foot and dated when last checked.
Where to Start With These Drill to Earth's Core Guides
Start with the beginner guide for how a run works and what to buy first, then how to get Cores for where the lobby currency comes from. If you were looking for Dig to Earth's Core, the Drill vs Dig guide sorts out the two games.
Once runs get deeper, reach the core covers the push to 100 km, the mutations guide explains the enemy effects that grow with depth, and the Infinite Mode and church guides cover what comes after the core. The chests and badges guides list what runs and the lobby pay out. For raw numbers, the layers, upgrades and items pages hold the tables these guides draw on.
