About Orebound
Orebound is a first‑person voxel game where players explore massive procedurally generated mountain ranges and descend into the Earth’s depths. The core goal is to locate the legendary Emberstone while gathering ores, crafting tools, and constructing automated factories.
The experience supports both single‑player and online co‑op, letting friends share the same open world. Players can build drill rigs, conveyor belts, and other machines to turn raw veins into a continuous resource stream.
01 / THE GUIDE
Exploration
The world of Orebound is generated as a voxel landscape that stretches across mountain ranges and underground caverns. Players can move freely above and below ground, searching for ore veins and hidden locations.
Depth correlates with material rarity, so traveling deeper increases the chance of finding precious metals as you search for the Emberstone. The open‑world design encourages continual movement to discover new terrain features.
- Follow natural ridgelines to spot distant valleys that may contain ore deposits.
- Mark promising surface locations before descending for easier return trips.
02 / THE GUIDE
Mining
Mining extracts precious metals and resources from crystal veins found throughout the world. Players use Dwarven tools that can be upgraded with gathered materials.
Deeper layers contain rarer ores, rewarding players who push further into the planet. Extracted ore feeds directly into crafting and automation systems.
- Target visible crystal structures for higher yield per strike.
- Plan a retreat path when mining deep to avoid getting trapped.
03 / THE GUIDE
Crafting
Crafting converts raw ores into tools, building blocks, and runes that improve efficiency. A broad list of Dwarven items can be produced to support deeper expeditions.
Upgraded tools and crafted runes enhance your efficiency, helping you tackle tougher challenges.
- Combine common ores first to unlock basic tool upgrades.
- Experiment with different rune recipes to see which give the best mining boost.
04 / THE GUIDE
Automation
Automation is built by placing machines such as drill rigs and conveyor belts that continuously mine and process ores. These machines can be linked to create self‑sustaining factories.
Connecting machines with belts reduces manual hauling, allowing players to focus on expanding their mining operations rather than individual collection.
- Start with a simple belt loop to move ore to a chest before adding more machines.
- Place drill rigs near large crystal veins for maximum output.
05 / THE GUIDE
Multiplayer
Orebound offers online co‑op, letting multiple players share the same world to mine, craft, and automate together. The same core systems apply in both solo and shared sessions.
Co‑op encourages division of labor; one player may focus on exploration while another builds factories, which can increase overall resource collection.
- Assign clear roles to teammates to avoid duplicated effort.
- Communicate material needs early to coordinate building projects.
