Delved Too Deep

"Machine Operational. Welcome, Machine Iteration #490125."
You are not a hero. You are a number - one of the endless stream of Machines deployed with a simple goal - dig and gather data. Embrace your fate. Arm your drill. Move out and follow the imperative. The factory relies on your services.
Explore the depths under the Factory, take the Role of ever-improving machine iterations as they follow the imperative to gather geological data and venture deep into the abyss.
Navigate the treacherous terrain, and the various hazards. Avoid gEtting stuck deeper than your drill can handle. Secure your descent, or go head first to the depths - and bear the consequences.
Find powerful upgrades, artifacts, hazards, enemies and friends. Optimize your machine'S performance by equipping modifications, and balance their negative side effects. React to the environmental challenges by changing your loadout - and balance your fuel, drill wear and hull Integrity.
Learn more about those that came before you, and decide their fate. The depthS are not still. You decide, how you interact with those who made it down there.
Fail, and try again. Your chassis will break down - but your memories stay intacT, and the world will greet you with the same opportunities and challenges as before. Use knowledge to your advantage. The Factory will grant you ways to become faster, stronger and more durable so you may have a higher chance of... reaching the bottom.
