Fossils

⛏️

Digging

Layers, tools, damage per hit — how deep can you go?

🪨

Fossils You Can Find

What's buried down there? Rarity, value, special powers.

Digging System

Design your tools and ground layers. The numbers are yours to choose.

Your Tools

Click any tool to design its upgrade path

Tool Name Description Damage / Hit Upgrade Cost How You Get It
ex: Starter Shovel A rusty old shovel. Gets the job done... slowly. 1 Free You start with it

Ground Layers

Layer HP What You Find Hits to Break Through?
ex: Dirt 4 Common rocks Shovel (1 dmg): 4 ÷ 1 = 4 hits

Test Your Build

How many hits?

Your does damage.
The has HP.
÷ = hits

Total damage

You hit times.
Each hit does damage.
× = total

Worth the upgrade?

Old tool: hits per layer
New tool: hits per layer
Upgrade costs coins.
Each fossil sells for coins.
÷ = fossils
Keith's notes (don't show Alex): Let him pick all the numbers. If they don't divide evenly, that's the lesson — "hmm, that doesn't come out clean, what number would work better?" Watch for: skip counting vs. memorized facts vs. finger counting vs. freezing. Note which operations he reaches for naturally.

Fossils You Can Find

Design your fossil collection. What's buried? What's it worth? What can it do?

Fossil Found In Rarity Sell Value Special Power
ex: Ammonite Clay Common 5 coins Shield — blocks 1 hit

Collection Math

How much is your collection worth?

I found at coins each.
× = coins
I found at coins each.
× = coins
Total: coins

Can you afford the upgrade?

You have coins total.
The upgrade costs coins.
Enough?
If no, how many more coins?
How many to sell?
Keith's notes: The collection table connects directly to the digging system — which layer, which tool needed, what's the payoff? Let him cross-reference his tools table. If he prices a fossil at 7 coins and an upgrade at 40, the division won't be clean — perfect teaching moment.
