Hole Is Mine Player Tools

The Tools Hub turns Hole Is Mine advice into something you can tick, plan, and track while Shelly and the Mini’Ohs dig. Builds pages tell you what is strong; Players pages explain crew and gear; Tools pages help you execute during a real Steam session. Use these worksheets across the ~40 Depth campaign and again when Infinite Hole begins.

Tools in this hub

• Upgrade Checklist — Markdown checkbox lists for mining, collection, Incursion, survival, and Mini’Oh priorities.
• Build Planner — Loadout planning sections so axe, wool, helmet, Holy Blook, and clone choices stay intentional.
• Depth Tracker — Progress template notes for Depth milestones, bottlenecks, and Incursion timing observations.

Complementary reading: Upgrade Priority, Early Game Builds, Equipment Tier List, Mini’Ohs Guide, and Equipment List.

Why tools matter in an incremental

Hole Is Mine (App 4508020) by Incrementalist / SpaceJazz packs three hundred–plus upgrades and five hundred–plus equipment combinations into a single-player dig. Memory alone fails. You will forget whether you already bought throw reliability, whether the carry Mini’Oh is still the carry, or which Depth first demanded Bravery Helmet. Checklists and trackers externalize that memory so the collect–upgrade–Incursion rhythm stays crisp toward a ~5-hour campaign finish.

How to run a tool-assisted session

1. Open Depth Tracker and note starting Depth.
2. Confirm opening plan via Early Game Builds or your mid-game notes.
3. Tick purchases on Upgrade Checklist as you spend.
4. Record equip swaps on Build Planner.
5. After each Incursion or failed push, update bottleneck notes.
6. When stuck, jump to the matching Builds or Players page—not a random wiki wander.

Design of these tools

They are markdown worksheets, not downloadable apps. Copy sections into your own notes if you like, or keep the wiki tab pinned. Checkboxes on the Upgrade Checklist are meant to feel interactive in preview and in personal forks of the notes. The Build Planner uses labeled sections so Friendship Wool, Heavy/Heaxy Axe, Bravery Helmet, Holy Blook, and clone Mini’Oh items each have a home. The Depth Tracker emphasizes qualitative notes (what failed) as much as numbers (how deep).

Tools vs guides

Guides teach. Tools remind. If you do not yet understand why one carry Mini’Oh matters, read the Mini’Ohs Guide first. If you already understand and keep overspending vanity nodes, you need the checklist more than another essay. Infinite Hole players especially benefit from tracker notes because multiplicative systems punish forgotten foundations.

Suggested first-week toolkit

• Day 1: Upgrade Checklist + Early Game Builds.
• Day 2: Build Planner after first meaningful drops.
• Day 3+: Depth Tracker every session until campaign clear, then archive notes for Infinite Hole experiments.

Accessibility and single-player focus

Everything here assumes solo play on Steam—no Roblox codes, no script injectors, no party DPS meters. Controllers and keyboards both work with the same mental model: WASD (or equivalent) movement, left-click mining, bag throws for Incursions. Tools stay input-agnostic on purpose.

Closing

Pin the Tools Hub beside your game window. Tick what you buy, plan what you wear, and track how deep the Hole goes. When a patch lands, reset relevant checklist sections and re-validate tiers on the Builds Hub. Smart notes are part of mining efficiency—treat them like another upgrade node for your brain.
