Bombs are optional
Bombs and radars do not replace Climb Higher or the next pickaxe. Stock is limited, and guides describe them as expensive enough to save for a target. Every bomb detonates. The secondary effect is what changes.
- Classic Bomb: a plain explosion that clears an area.
- Ice Bomb: freezes the blast zone into a glacier and can cause Frost crystals to drop.
Other bomb names from different Roblox mining games are not listed here. In one Mine Antarctica session, a bomb on the shop was priced at 50,000 Cash. The clip does not lock that price to a named bomb, so treat 50,000 as a price one player saw. Read your own shop card.
Use a bomb when a thick section at a worthwhile altitude will return more than the Cash and the stock. Do not spend one on a thin low wall you can pickaxe.
Radars
Radars reveal buried treasure from a distance. Each has its own range. Some are described as adding a secondary effect such as a mutation or extra luck. Boulder Radar is a named tool players look up for buried boulders.
Buy a radar when you can already survive the band you will search. A ping you cannot reach, or cannot carry, does not pay.
What is not copied from other games
Mutation is mentioned as a possible radar effect, and Frost crystals are tied to the Ice Bomb. A full mutation multiplier table is not part of the official description. Rune lists and boulder ladders from Mine a Mountain are a different experience and are not treated as Mine Antarctica drops.
The Mossite Boulder, reported at 308.8K HP, is the one large formation with a published pickaxe requirement: Titanium Breaker. Other boulder species are not confirmed for this place.
