Rewards:
- Great work! For completing these tasks, you receive some experience. Want to share it with your friends?
Stage 3 - Magnetic Anomaly Academy[]
Magnetic anomalies are deviations in the value of the magnetic field on the Earth's surface from its normal value. Build a Magnetic Anomaly Academy to find out more about this mysterious phenomenon.
Tasks:
- Start building a Magnetic Anomaly Academy. Analyze the soil before you start digging.

Rewards:
- Keep up the good work! Hurry and finish building the Magnetic Anomaly Academy to start your excavations.
Stage 4 - Mineralogy Institute[]
The reason for the magnetic anomaly is usually the presence of large deposits of minerals underground. You'll need a Mineralogy Institute to detect the source of the magnetic disturbance.
Tasks:
- Build a Magnetic Anomaly Academy and start building a Mineralogy Institute. Study the borders of the magnetic anomaly to define the edge of your dig site.
