| Enlarged Storage Bay | The stomach grows, allowing the metal beast to carry significantly more ore before needing to return. Bulldozer gets bonus carrying capacity. Tier 5 makes the bulldozer able to carry artifacts as well. | Gold: 180 10 tiers |
| Gyrocopter | Gyrocopters fly above the stash and fire short-range beams at falling rocks. They also shoot fishing nets trying to catch falling ores or skim from the top of the ore pile. This is not very effective early. | Gold cost not shown until unlock Mithril cost not shown until unlock Dwarf cost not shown until unlock |
