Frequently Asked Questions

How do I earn money while not actively playing? The idle progression system continues to generate income based on your current mining setup and worker assignments. Your mines will continue producing resources even when the game is closed, allowing you to accumulate funds for your next big upgrade when you return.

What's the difference between upgrading workers versus equipment? Workers increase the number of resources gathered simultaneously, while equipment upgrades boost the efficiency and value of each resource collected. A balanced approach between both typically yields the best long-term results for growing your mining business.

What happens when I unlock the second part of the game? The two-part structure allows you to expand beyond basic mining operations into more advanced business management aspects, including larger industrial operations and more complex resource processing chains that significantly increase your earning potential.
