Have you ever dreamed of becoming a mining tycoon? Come to Idle Mining Empire and work hard to make your dream of becoming a real tycoon come true.
You start with a small mine, with just a few workers and rudimentary tools. Your first task is to mine ore, transport it to the surface, and sell it for money.
Mine Shafts are where your workers mine ore. Upgrading the elevators makes them move faster and hold more ore. The ore from the elevators is transported to the warehouse for sale. Upgrading the warehouses increases storage capacity and sales speed.
You will use the money you earn to upgrade each part of the mining process separately: the digging speed of your workers, the capacity and speed of your elevators, and the processing capacity of your warehouses. When you have enough money, you can unlock new, deeper mines, which have more valuable ores, resulting in higher profits. As your empire grows, you can attract investors. Investors' money can be used to expand your business to the next level, or "reset" your progress to receive special rewards (like prestige points) that speed up your growth in the next playthrough.
If you don't produce enough ore, no matter how much you upgrade your elevators and warehouses, there will be nothing to transport and sell. Always prioritize upgrading your Mine Shafts (especially the deeper levels, as they usually mine more valuable ores). Only when you see your miners waiting for the elevator or the warehouse is empty due to lack of ore should you think about upgrading your elevators and warehouses. When a Mine Shaft reaches level 10, 25, 50, 100, 200, 300, etc., it will receive a large number of multipliers. Try to push your mines to these levels as soon as possible to significantly increase mining speed and output.
