Gold Fever is such a cozy, hands-on sim! Cutting a hole into the riverbank, scooping the gravel and then swirling the pan in small circles at the water's edge felt really tactile. I only pulled 0.009 g out of my first lean gravel (0.027 g/L), but I love that the readout tells you the grade and nudges you to dig your next sample, plus little details like the Compacted Horizon note about needing a steel shovel to go deeper and the Sluice Site sign waiting at $240. The low-poly river looks gorgeous too, great job!

Good clean 3D sim, and the theme page looks great. The river valley is a nice place to spend time. The load took a while for me, so a shorter preload would get people panning sooner. I’d love to see one twist down the line that makes it stand out from other mining sims, like a rival claim or a gold rush event.
