<h3>Every hour players recieve 100 Chests.</h3>
<p>Chests are our number one source for our collectable worker cards, which let players increase how much their miners mine, the elevators carry and the warehouse processes. These are great passive boosts that improve every mine in the game! Plus, collecting them all is a fun mini-game.</p>
