Idle Mining Empire
They used to say that if you wanted to seek your fortune then you should get a job at a mine and work hard until you strike gold, or you can start an Idle Mining Empire. It's one of the most dangerous jobs in the world, but someone has to do it and for many, it's their main way to make a living. You can see how many steps go into mining from the hitting of rock to the collecting and shipping of its various recipients. With the right planning and work ethic, you can set up a smooth-running mining operation that is hopefully safe as well.
About Idle Mining Empire
Mining is a very serious job and has been the topic of many types of games where it's all about trying to find the materials you need to progress. In this game, you're not mining directly or even playing as a miner, but you're overseeing all of the operations. Nothing happens unless you say so which is why you have to stay on the ball to keep your workers motivated and safe. By doing this, you can start to see your efforts yield a profit which will lead to bigger and better things taking you beyond mining. Can you dig it?
How to Play
Idle Mining Empire is a 2D idle game about setting up and running a mining business using only the mouse. The game UI is all controlled by moving the cursor over to the different elements and then clicking with the Left Mouse Button. To direct your workers, you need to click on them when they're idling and they'll perform their duties before returning back to the idling state. The goal is to grow and expand a mining empire as you dig deeper and for greater profit.
The operations are broken into three different areas: Mining, collecting, and transporting. Click your miner to have them mine some coal and transport it to the nearby cart. Click the elevator operator to descend and collect coal from carts and then process it for shipping. Click the transport worker on the surface to collect the processed goal and ship it out to gain profit. The profit can be put toward upgrading each of the areas to be more efficient and effective. You can also use it to unlock new mine shafts and higher managers to automate your workers.
If a worker is not active, they will have some Zs floating by their head. Managers work automatically and can sometimes be boosted to speed up their automation effects.
Tips and Tricks
This is an idle game that requires a fair amount of input on your part. Until you upgrade enough to unlock more managers, you need to be hands-on with your clicking and enter into a rhythm moving between the different areas. Mines should always take priority for upgrades followed by the collection areas.
