NPCs (Non-Player-Characters), are interactable characters found around the map, particularly outside the mine. They have many uses in the game that are crucial to progressing. The main NPCs in the game are the Researcher, the Drillers (Driller Drake, Mining Martin), the Seller (Jimmy Penny) , the Blacksmith (Jake Smith), and the Backpack Shopkeeper (John Pack). Other NPCs assign quests, which in-turn give gear, collectables, and quality of life features.
Base[]
Researcher[]
The Researcher NPC allows you to increase the max depth you can go to in the mine, which is crucial for progression. The selling NPC allows you to earn money by selling ores, and money allows you to buy pickaxes, buy backpacks, buy base upgrades and open chests for enchants.
Dialogue
Good day boss, the research teams' capability allows you to reach layer [number], at a depth of [meters]m, and mine [layer block].
Driller Drake[]
On base level 2, after donating a certain amount, you'll unlock a mining feature that helps you extract materials. As you level up, it will drill for more resources. You can toggle which materials you want to collect, and they will automatically be sent to your Storage in your Base.
Dialogue
Ay boss, wanna make some REAL cash?? Throw me some ores and we'll get drillin'. Just make sure that the base storage aint full!
Mining Martin[]
Upon upgrading your base to level 4, a second area for a drill will be made available. As you level it up, it will drill for more resources. You can toggle which materials you want to collect, and they will automatically be sent to your Storage in your Base (assuming the storage is not full).

Strange Wizard - The Enchanting Man[]
The Strange Wizard appeared in the earlier versions of the game. His most recent quest before being removed was "available till September 1st".
When interacting with him, he would give you a quest, and when you've completed it, he says "...Huh, sorry... No more tasks..."
He's now in the newly added Wizard Tower, and adds traits to your pickaxes.
