Alaska Gold Fever at a glance
The official Steam description asks you to step into the role of a gold prospector during the Alaskan gold rush and build an empire from scratch. In practice that means mining resources, refining different forms of gold, upgrading tools, exploring several mines, surviving the climate, and completing story and side quests. The setting is 1896 Alaska, and the game is played in first person with full controller support.

Tool repair basics in this game
Tools and weapons have durability, and the game expects you to maintain them rather than replace them constantly. Repairs are performed from the inventory and consume material such as magnetite, which players often report running out of. Because hotfixes have changed repair behaviour more than once, including a recent report that weapons could not be repaired while tools still could, test the repair action in your own build before a long run.
