* LovecraftLite: The [[EldritchAbomination Elders]] are powerful beings that predate humanity and were the ones to end 23rd century civilization. Unfortunately for them, you are an A.I. mining platform from outer space and it's now much further into the future. So, apart from their potent HealingFactor, the Elders are helpless as you blast them back with lasers, bombs and more exotic attacks. Then it gets subverted back into CosmicHorrorStory when [[spoiler:the final Elder is completely invincible and its continued survival is crucial to Earth because it ''[[GeniusLoci is the core of the Earth]]''. Your solution against it is to build a rocket to [[ScrewThisImOuttaHere escape the Earth]], knowing that it is impossible to beat.]]

* TheReveal: It is heavily implied that [[spoiler:the research team's Plan B that sent Von Neumann probes into space led to the creation of the Galactic Federation, aka the AI you are part of.]]

* DidYouJustPunchOutCthulhu: The Elders are {{Eldritch Abomination}}s that managed to destroy humanity in the 23rd century. Your mining platform and robots are very much capable of defeating all of them with lasers, bombs, and other technologies.

* DoubleUnlock: The Trading station takes this UpToEleven. To be able to unlock Trading you need to reach least area 53, and when you do, it requires one Portal to build. To get the schematics for the Portal you need to complete all the Archaeology quests on Area 53 which will take ''several'' hours to days. Next you need to gather the required materials (100 circuits, 1000 steel, 500 emeralds) to construct the portal, which will take 6 hours to craft. Then, you can finally build the Trading station itself... which takes another hour to construct. Once that's done, you need to use 50 Polished Emeralds to open the portal and allow trading for 15 minutes. All in all, it becomes a ''sixfold'' unlock.

* TimeTravel: In order to [[spoiler:escape the Elders and flee their destroyed world, the humans constructed a device that would send them to a point in time... which is 2 million years BC.]]

* DoubleUnlock: Constructing the Portal for trading takes this UpToEleven. To be able to unlock the portal, you need to reach least area 53. It requires one portal (item) to build. To get the schematics for the portal item you need to complete all the Archaeology quests on Area 53 which will take ''several'' hours to days. Next you need to gather the required materials (100 circuits, 1000 steel, 500 emeralds) to construct the portal, which will take 6 hours to craft. Then, you have to build the portal station itself which takes another hour.

* VillainHasAPoint: The Gold Elder repeatedly complains about the greed of your AIs as well as that of humanity ("A lot of deaths all for my name"). Presumably, one possible reason for the Elders [[GaiasVengeance awakening and destroying human civilization]] is due to their greed for resources until they were depleted.

* HealingFactor: All the Elders and their appendages have this, being able to regenerate health at periods of time. Essentially, this makes all of them a DPS check and a progress wall that you cannot pass until you upgrade your level enough. The Amber Elder in particular takes it even further by having a far better healing factor due to electrical absorption, you need to craft a Tesla Coil to dampen this.

* HumanoidAbomination: The Gold Elder resembles a humanoid golem made of gold. Even the MC is surprised when the monster appendage you have to face appears to be a huge human arm.

* AntiRegeneration: The Amber Elder is capable of drawing in electricity to regenerate itself at an extremely fast rate, far faster than you can damage it. In order to dampen this, you will need to construct a computer to research how to beat it, then construct a Tesla Coil to draw away the electricity.

* IdleGame: Downplayed, idle progress does happen but at a slower rate than active progress.

* LovecraftLite: The [[EldritchAbomination Elders]] are mountain-sized, tentacled beings that predate humanity and were the ones to end 23rd century civilization. Unfortunately for them, you are an A.I. mining platform from outer space and it's now much further into the future. So, apart from their potent HealingFactor, the Elders are helpless as you blast them back with lasers, bombs and more exotic attacks.

* EldritchAbomination: The Elders. From the data obtained from archaeological sites, it's revealed that they're beings that predate humanity by a few billion years, and are attuned to a specific material, and other information had been nearly impossible to obtain from them. They're also extremely powerful, being able to ruin humanity in a matter of days since they awakened.

Gameplay consists of using a mining laser to dig deeper to uncover areas, building mining machines in uncovered areas, constructing workstations to process certain resources and craft them, selling items or resources to obtain money, [[BreadEggsMilkSquick and fighting off]] {{Eldritch Abomination}}s that you uncover while mining.
