What starts the progression loop?
Mining activity generates cash that can be reinvested into progression. No unsourced universal rate is claimed. Start with one measured mining sample.
Flatten The Mountain Beginner Guide
flatten the mountain beginner guide
Your first measured mountain run
Start mining mountain blocks for cash, reinvest through the Skill Tree, watch for buried chests and the eagle, and continue to flatten the mountain and restore access to the sun.
Start the ordered steps1. Mine and record cash before reinvesting
Mining activity generates cash that can be reinvested into progression. No unsourced universal rate is claimed. Record elapsed time, mountain progress, and cash change. Keep spending outside the sample.
2. Test one Skill Tree change
Earned resources can be reinvested in player progression through the game's upgrade system and Skill Tree. No invented complete node list or universal ranking is claimed. Choose one visible upgrade. Compare equal-duration samples.
3. Flatten the mountain and restore the sun
Buried chests can be encountered while mining the mountain. No unsourced locations, rates, or rewards are claimed. Players should treat the eagle as an in-run hazard while mining. No unsourced timing, damage, or avoidance claims are made. The run's completion premise is to flatten the mountain and restore access to the sun. No unsourced completion reward is claimed.

Requirements
- What to record
Use one time unit and one progress unit for both samples. Keep spending outside the cash sample. Choose one upgrade. Record any eagle or chest interruption.
If this does not work
- Universal fastest route
Universal fastest route. No universal rate, fastest build, or completion time is verified.
- If an eagle or chest changes the run
Keep the event in your notes and avoid comparing that sample with an uninterrupted one. Try equal-duration samples for a cleaner upgrade comparison.
