Abilities
- Mine Plumbum — Extracts Plumbum from graphite deposits.
- Harvest Pitch — Collects Pitch from tar seeps.
- Build — Can construct advanced buildings (Pencilcore Press, Patternworks).
Strategy
Prospectors are essential for accessing advanced units and buildings. Get your first Prospector as soon as your Pencilcore Press is complete. Assign 3-4 Prospectors to Plumbum and 2-3 to Pitch depending on your build order. Prospectors are tougher than Paper Pickers but still vulnerable — protect your mining operations.
