Keep On Mining!

Keep On Mining! is an incremental mining game centered on collecting stones and processing them into valuable materials. By hovering the cursor over stones, the player activates a mining zone that automatically produces pickaxes to break them apart. This system allows steady resource gathering without constant clicking, while leaving room for strategic decisions about upgrades, crafting, and talent choices. The balance between active control and passive automation is the foundation of the game’s progression.

Resource Gathering And Refinement

When stones are mined, they drop ores that can be smelted into ingots. These ingots serve as the main resource for unlocking new abilities, crafting stronger tools, and increasing mining efficiency. Different stones provide different types of ore, and more valuable varieties appear as the player advances. Refinement is a key step, turning raw resources into forms that can be invested back into improving performance and unlocking new opportunities.

Upgrades, Crafting, And Core Loop

Progress in Keep On Mining! revolves around unlocking permanent upgrades through the skill tree and crafting better tools. Each new pickaxe crafted from stronger materials offers increased speed and power for mining tougher stones.
The main loop can be summarized as:

·         Mine stones to collect ores

·         Smelt ores into ingots

·         Spend ingots on skill tree upgrades

·         Craft improved pickaxes

·         Use stronger tools to access higher‑tier stones

Repeating this loop steadily increases efficiency and unlocks new content over time.

Talents And Level Progression

As the player gains experience, they level up and earn talent points. Each point reveals three random talent cards, with one chosen to upgrade. Picking a talent raises its level and increases the HP of stones, ensuring a gradual increase in difficulty alongside player power. Talents provide meaningful bonuses such as faster mining, better resource yield, or more efficient automation, allowing the player to shape their progression strategy.

Automation With The Mine

Once unlocked, the mine provides full automation for mining and smelting. It continuously gathers stones and instantly converts them into ingots without player input. This passive system ensures steady progress even when the game is not actively played. Combined with powerful tools, skill tree upgrades, and selected talents, the mine becomes a crucial element for long‑term growth, making Keep On Mining! a balance of active play and idle efficiency.
