A single mining run can get you every upgrade.
Money for Nothing: By the time you start mining Amazonite, you can sell it for 500 000$, which is the price of the higher-tier upgrades. Interface Spoiler: Inventory screen shows ore all the way up to Amazonium. Natas' provision of repair nanobots and explosives eventually led to his defeat. Giant Space Flea from Nowhere: Other than the name, there is no clue. Fast Tunnelling: 120 ft per second for the amazonite drill. Natas: MWAHAHAHA! Imbecile! You really think you can defeat me? I am the master of all EVIL! BEHOLD MY TRUE FORM!!! Drill Tank: The drill can't damage the boss, ironically enough. In the Goldium edition, you can encounter Mr. Devil, but No God: Played straight in the normal edition. Deflector Shield: The highest quality hull is an energy-shielded one. Why you do so when you're specifically out of fuel is not explained. Critical Existence Failure: If you run out of fuel you violently explode. When it reaches critical levels, the beeps happen so rapidly it's more like one long high-pitched note. 
Critical Annoyance: When the fuel tank gets close to empty, it starts beeping. Colonized Solar System: Mars, obviously, and there's a friendly miner who mentions retiring to Jupiters' moons with his family. It also bounces you slightly and repeatedly, preventing you from setting off an explosive so you have to do so right before hitting him. The "-ium" suffix is derived from Latin, which added it to all their words for metals (Iron being Ferrum, Silver being Argentium and Gold being Aurum, with Bronze, an alloy, being Aes). The game inexplicably insist to call the first metals to be found (Iron, Bronze, Silver and Gold) as Ironium, Bronzium, Silverium and Goldium. 
A super-fast drill made of gold? Really?.Attack of the 50-Foot Whatever: Both forms of Mr.Artistic License Space: Mars doesn't have one big moon.Liquids are barely compressible in real life. Artistic License Physics: The highest capacity fuel tank is a "Liquid Compression Tank".Bronze is an alloy of tin and copper, and only occurs naturally in very rare circumstances.
Gold is way too soft to be practical as a mining drill. Artistic License Chemistry: Einsteinium (atomic number 99) is a real element, but it only exists artificially (typically as fallout from nuclear weapons) and the longest-lived isotopes don't last more than two years. Natas, at first, who offers you money, congratulations, advice and safety warnings. While being trapped is unlikely to happen, it's not really impossible. Acceptable Breaks from Reality: Marsquakes will only occur when on the surface, so they can't actually trap you underground.
