Mining Merchant Dig, craft, sell, unwind

Mine by day, sell by night. You dig up ores and gems underground, smelt them into rings and necklaces, then stock the shelves of your uncle's run-down jewelry shop. Play solo or share the work with up to 3 co-op friends, pool the profits, and chase the mystery behind the nightly earthquakes.

Is Mining Merchant worth it?

Mining Merchant is worth it if…

  • you like splitting jobs with co-op friends, one mining while one minds the shop
  • you want relaxed sessions built around digging, crafting, and selling
  • you enjoy upgrading tools, mechs, and shops piece by piece

Digging with co-op friends

You head underground in your mech, break rock, and haul out gems, rare metals, and buried treasure. With up to four players in online co-op, one of you can dig deeper while another hauls loot back to the truck. Leveling up lets you mine faster, carry more, and push further down. It is low-pressure work with a clear payoff: every pocketful of ore becomes stock for the evening.

A small shop to rebuild

Nights belong to the shop. You smelt ore, shape it into jewelry, set gemstones with a physics-based crafting system, then stock the shelves and serve picky customers. Sales rebuild your reputation floor by floor, and upgrades extend to your mech, truck, character, and each shop room. The pixel-art town stays colorful and family friendly throughout, and those earthquakes keep rumbling after dark.

Good to know before you dig in?

How does co-op actually work?

Up to four players run the business together online. You share the mining, the crafting, and the shopkeeping, and you pool the profits toward the same upgrades and reputation.

Can you play it solo?

Yes. You can run the whole loop alone at your own pace: mine, craft, stock shelves, and serve customers without anyone else joining.

What do you do with what you mine?

Raw ore and gems go into jewelry. You smelt metal, shape rings and necklaces, set stones, then put the finished pieces on the shelves to sell that night.

Is there anything beyond the daily routine?

Yes, a light mystery runs underneath it. Strange earthquakes shake the town each night, and rebuilding the shop moves you closer to what causes them.
