Our vision is to offer creative freedom that brings back the joy of childhood adventures

My Playtime: 341 hours — enough to build mines, blow them up, rebuild them, fight griefers, and dream up entire new systems for this game.

Out of Ore is one of the most addictive mining sims I’ve ever touched. It has massive potential, a great foundation, and some of the best heavy‑machinery gameplay in the genre. But it also has rough edges, bugs, and multiplayer issues that need attention.

This review covers the good, the bad, and the features I believe should be added to make Out of Ore truly legendary.

PROS

Addictive gameplay loop

Digging, hauling, blasting, and building your mining operation feels great. Once you get going, hours disappear.

Heavy machinery heaven

Excavators, loaders, dump trucks, dozers, graders — the game nails the “big machine” vibe.

Massive sandbox freedom

You can reshape the world however you want. Dig huge pits, carve tunnels, build conveyor networks, or create full mining bases.

Multiplayer is fun with the right people

Working a mine together is awesome when everyone is cooperating.

Huge maps

Lots of room to explore, dig, and build.

Active devs

When they communicate, they listen and respond.

CONS

Physics can be janky

Machines slide, bounce, flip, or sink into the ground. Terrain digging can be inconsistent.

Bugs and crashes

Vehicles falling through the map, multiplayer desync, wiring issues, quest bugs, FPS drops.

Multiplayer griefing is a real problem

Players can join your world and disconnect wires, shut off generators, move machines, or place explosives.

Lack of progression

Once you buy machines, there’s not much long‑term structure or goals.

Audio is weak

Engines, explosions, and digging sounds need more punch.

Slow update communication

Players often feel left in the dark.

No anti‑cheat system

Right now trainers, cheat tools, and memory editors can be used without detection. This is a huge issue for competitive or long‑term multiplayer.

WHAT I THINK SHOULD BE ADDED (BIG SUGGESTION)

This is the part I’m most excited about — a system that would take Out of Ore to the next level.

Multi‑Company Multiplayer System

Let players join a server and create their own mining companies.

Up to 16 different companies operating inside one world.

Each company would:

• Buy land

• Build their own base

• Hire contractors

• Manage finances

• Compete on leaderboards

• Grow over time

This would turn Out of Ore into a full mining MMO.

Land Ownership System

Players can purchase land plots.

Only the owner can dig, build, or place explosives inside their land.

Land types:

• Small

• Medium

• Large

• Premium deep‑ore zones

This prevents griefing and adds strategy.

Company Economy + Loans

Every new company starts with a $1,000,000 loan to get their operation going.

Loan features:

• Interest

• Weekly payments

• Failure to pay = company shutdown

This adds progression and risk.

Contractor Role

Contractors can:

• Operate machines

• Dig

• Work for companies

Contractors [b]cannot[/b]:

• Place explosives

• Buy land

• Build machines

• Modify protected zones

This keeps servers safe.

. Explosive Permissions

Explosives should be restricted to:

• Host

• Company Owners (on their land only)

• Trusted players (if host allows)

Contractors and Visitors should never be able to place explosives.

Full Multiplayer Protection System

• Player roles

• Lockable machines

• Lockable wiring

• Protected zones

• Kick/ban system

• Wiring undo button

• Host‑only power control

• Whitelist support

This would eliminate griefing.

ANTI‑CHEAT SYSTEM (CRITICAL)

Out of Ore needs a real anti‑cheat system to protect multiplayer and future competitive gameplay.

Right now:

• Trainers work

• Cheat Engine works

• Memory editing works

• No detection

• No enforcement

• No server‑side protection

This is a major problem for long‑term servers and any kind of company‑vs‑company competition.

What should be added:

• Basic client‑side anti‑cheat

• Server‑side validation for movement, digging, and machine physics

• Detection for memory editing

• Automatic kick/ban for cheat tools

• Logging of suspicious actions

• Optional “strict mode” for competitive servers

Even a lightweight anti‑cheat would massively improve multiplayer fairness.

Leaderboard / Ranking System

Companies compete in:

• Ore sold

• Profit

• Land owned

• Machines owned

• Debt paid

• Weekly production

• Safety rating

Ranking tiers:

• Bronze

• Silver

• Gold

• Platinum

• Titan

This gives servers long‑term goals.

FINAL VERDICT

Out of Ore is a flawed gem — but a gem with massive potential.

If the developers add a multi‑company system, land ownership, proper permissions, anti‑cheat, and competitive progression, this game could become the greatest mining MMO ever made.

Right now, it’s fun, chaotic, and sometimes frustrating.

With the right updates, it could be legendary.
