Plan your next GeoDepths session
Our independent guide examines GeoDepths’ core systems, offering observations that let you compare each mechanic without relying on hidden shortcuts. By looking at how drilling, resources, base construction, plant farming, and research interact, you can decide where to focus effort for smoother progression.
01 / THE GUIDE
Drill Speed Comparison
After unlocking a speed upgrade, perform a timed drill run and note the depth reached compared to a run before the upgrade. Observe how the change affects access to deeper resource layers.
- Test each speed upgrade on a short run to feel the change before committing to deeper exploration.
- Compare the number of ore types you can collect before and after an inventory upgrade.
02 / THE GUIDE
Inventory Capacity Test
Upgrade inventory capacity, then conduct a mining session and record how many distinct ore types you can collect before returning to base. Compare this count to a session with the original capacity.
- Note which materials appear most frequently and keep those slots available.
- Weigh the benefit of gathering rare ores against the need for common materials for immediate upgrades.
03 / THE GUIDE
Base Expansion Observation
Add a new room to your base and track how many additional machines you can place. Note any impact on the amount of resources you can process in a single cycle.
- Add rooms incrementally to match the resources you have on hand.
- Place new corridors close to existing structures to reduce travel distance.
04 / THE GUIDE
Biomass Production Monitoring
Set up a plant bed, harvest biomass over several cycles, and record the total power generated. Compare this to a period without plant farming to see the contribution to base power.
- Reserve a dedicated area for plant beds to keep biomass production consistent.
- Harvest plants regularly to avoid gaps in power supply.
05 / THE GUIDE
Research Path Impact
Select a research branch that unlocks deeper drill reach, complete it, and then measure how far you can descend on the next expedition. Contrast this with a branch that expands inventory to see differing effects.
- Prioritize scanning minerals that appear at greater depths to unlock deeper‑reach upgrades sooner.
- Track which research branches give the most immediate benefit to your current goals.
