Idle Miner

A little mining crew to keep you company

Idle Miner brings a growing mining adventure to the bottom of your screen. Your miners explore, break ore, and carry their haul home automatically while you work, browse, or unwind. Check in to spend your earnings, choose your next destination, and give your crew something new to dig into.

Make every haul count

Turn copper into your next upgrade, then work toward more valuable metals and fantastical gems. Improve mining power, movement speed, carrying capacity, and ore production to keep your operation growing.

Choose your route

Follow branching paths through crystal grottos, ancient libraries, frozen depths, volcanic caverns, and stranger places beyond. Each destination brings its own ore selection, scenery, and music. Choose a path through the journey, then explore another on a future run.

Find something worth keeping

Fulfil ore delivery contracts for extra rewards and uncover rare artifacts with permanent bonuses. Track your discoveries and milestones as a small operation becomes a seasoned mining crew.

Start again with more helping hands

Reach a final route to rebirth. Begin a fresh run with an additional miner, keep your artifacts and lifetime discoveries, and put your experience to work on the next journey.
