Mining Inc. Wiki

Now that my review is up, all other reviews are irrelevant. This is an idle game where you have 0 ads forced down your throat. There is also no shady business whatsoever, as there is an easy way to earn the premium currency by simply playing the game. Progress is as simple as Rock Paper Scissors, where in order to gain an advantage with one building, you must play strategically, ie, if your mine is filled to max capacity, upgrade your refinery to smelt faster, allowing more minerals to be harvested and delivered. Trucks can’t carry enough ore? Upgrade your warehouse vehicles so they can carry more. This is the perfect idle game, and I can’t wait to see what future updates await it.

Been playing this game a lot, one week playing 19 hours of it total, but i hate that everything is becoming as based, like the helicopter feature, it used to be a nice lil boost of cash for free and it was nice but now i have to watch an ad every time i want to use it, i’m on mine 26 now and it seems like with all the updates it’s just becoming more add/money based, and their not improving things like the quests, which have been almost the exact same since mine 15...

I really enjoy the game have completed all the tasks for level 30. However, when I push to rank up, it will only allow me to push the “Later” button. The “Start” button is in gray. Is there something I should do to move on that I’m not aware? I’ve upgraded almost everything. Any help would be appreciated! Thanks! Looking forward to playing more games from your company.

After the app refusing to open after three tries it finally did and I saw my progress was the same, I was rank 7, but every single worker I had was now gone. I had none unlocked all of a sudden and after opening a free chest I gained two back. This is somewhat off putting and makes me concerned about losing valuable progress and time put into the game. Other than that its not an ad heavy game and relies on the simple process of making money. You can earn the in game currency at a decent rate by upgrading normally which is nice considering the time warp boosts are very useful. The ads only give you so much money so you aren’t gonna be done with this game very quickly by watching a ton of ads for rewards. All in all a good game but I really wish I hadn’t lost that progress. It didn’t make me drop the game but if it continues I might because those workers helped out a bit and could have turned out to be even more valuable later on, now I have to get that all back.

Update: Thank you the update, I can finally move on!! If this continues in more levels I'll change it to fives stars for sure I really do love the game!! Ever since the last update I can't pass level 13. My boyfriend passed it before the update but now I'm stuck on it. 3k in refineries capacity, I should have been through a long time ago! It's counting my diamond mine and the highest I can go is 2.03k. Any suggestions or better update. Don't tell me to contact cause I've done it twice in two weeks with no response and no update. Hope it gets fixed soon or no more Mining Inc. for me.

I played this game awhile ago and it was nothing like this so the devs have made good progress. The game looks good plays good and plenty to do until you get stuck due to missions I guess not stuck but very time consuming for doing nothing cause everything is maxed and those that slow it down of stop progress is open certain amount of chests. Next one is collect daily login for I don’t think iv collected anything yet today since I just started and I can’t find it and I’m at rank four at least stuck for now but that’s my only complaint.

I’ve been playin this game regularly for weeks, and have been stuck on level 12 for quite some time because the final challenge to beat level 12 is to have 21 manager cards equipped. The issue is that out of all manger cards, the final two cards that I am missing (both of them are for buildings with an open slot, which would take me from 20 to 21) have not dropped even once in any roll. I have a timer set to go off every four hours, and I regularly buy Epic chests in game, and yet these final two managers elude me. I’m starting to get concerned that there’s a bug in the drop system that is preventing me from getting these final two cards, as all my other cards are floating around the same level depending on rarity, which says to me I get them pretty evenly across the board, except for these last two cards. I hope it sorts itself out. Oh and all the other bugs are still present, I can’t upgrade anything, but that’s not a barrier for progress for me at the moment because I’d already completed all the other missions for this level and am just waiting for my 21st manager card. PS please add managers for the underground gold mine, it’s a pretty expensive but comparatively useless building

It’s a great game to play and pass the time. Some things that should be worked on/changed should be not having the dumpers or lorrys stop for one another to pass, once the gold mine gets deeper and starts to spin it gets really out of hand and aggravating. At many points in time I’ve had to restart the app since trucks got stuck and would not move out of each other’s way since since they “don’t pass each other up”. The exchange office’s Deposit upgrade states: +11% bonus coins every minutes”. Not sure what that supposed to say??? Whenever I try to watch an ad from the helicopter for a good chunk of money the heli just ups and leaves and I don’t get the money. Also sometimes happens on welcome back rewards to triple your money and it doesn’t activate AND on top of that you don’t get the original money you would’ve gotten if you simply hit the “x” button to close it out in the first place. Will change my review depending on future updates if any.

Honestly, this was a solid 4.5/5 stars BEFORE the recent update. But apparently they weren’t getting enough ad revenue because of one of the changes they implemented with the helicopter that brought in extra in-game revenue with the options of taking it at face value or watching an ad to triple it. When I was grinding, I’d skip the ad, but when I was playing during intermissions or bathroom breaks, I’d let the ad run....but.... ...Now you’re forced to watch an ad or get nothing at all. And that’s just...disappointing. Ruined a very good, user-friendly system for a 100 or nothing system with the hopes of running more ads. Don’t fix what isn't broken. Revert that change..please.

There are limits on the upgrades you are allowed to do to your buildings and vehicles. I’m currently stuck on level four and despite spending $2.99 on the ad free version and having two times the earnings, I cannot progress to level five until I have finished my final task. I have to earn a ‘daily reward’ which won’t happen for nearly 24 hours. Until then, everything is upgraded to the max and I’m earning lots of money but I cannot take it with me to level five, when my mine starts over, so the game is literally pointless until then.

I played this game for about a day when I first got it obviously it’s going to move slow at first it took 2 minutes to get three hundred gold and I just thought after a day of play it things would start to pick up but they didn’t after a day the trucks took 2 minutes to get gold. it was still super boring to play they need to make it where it doesn’t take so long oh and also why do they have to “unload” it you already waited 2 minutes to get gold and yes I know you can speed the trucks up by taping them but when you tap them they barley anywhere. I would love to give this game a second chance if they just fix those things. It’s not all bad for instant it’s not riddled with ads always a big plus.

Update: After the last update, I was knocked back to stage 2. Worked my way back up to stage 10 where I am stuck again. The game wants me level up managers... the problem... the game is allowing any more manager cards to be collected! Dropping to 2 stars now :( Great game, I was hooked! But there are a few flaws that definitely need updating. You cannot prestige past level 11, because you have to fill 25 manager spots. It’s impossible since there are only 24 spots to fill and 3 of those spots, at the underground mine, have no qualifying managers. So, I am stuck at this point and since I can no longer prestige the game is slowing way way down. If this were to get fixed, this game would be an easy 5!

You can only level your equipment up to certain tiers before you have to level up completely. I’ve been stuck on level 7 for awhile now because it requires rare manager cards which in my daily chests I haven’t gotten any and even spent in game cash on the epic chests that only gave me regular managers too. I can’t level up my equipment anymore so I can’t play anything in the game since I can’t level up without those cards. It’ll also ask you for 3+ chests to level up so you have to wait hours for that since you only get one every 4 hours. Even if everything is maxed out and you need to level up to continue playing, you have to wait hours and sometimes days to get one you need to level up. Also in most idle games, when you level up, it starts you over but allows you to build back to the place you were at really quickly. In this game when you level up, you just start over with nothing. Any money you accumulated is lost and you are back to square one. You can level your equipment up to the next tier now, but you’ll start at the bottom tier again and have to spend hours getting yourself up to that point again. The game has a good idea going but how they executed it is bad. Waiting hours and hours accumulating money while waiting for the managers cards or daily chests in order to level up, only to lose all of that money and start the game completely over and have to wait hours or days again to level up again.

The game is fun for an idle game. There aren’t an abundance of ads, there’s no real paid as far as I could tell (up to Rank 13) and it passes the time. That said, about 3/4 of the way through Rank 13 and upon watching an ad, one that is a regular in the game, the entire game crashed. Ok, that happens every now and again. However upon reloading the game, all of the buildings reset back to Tier 1 with the exception of the vehicle buildings. What’s worse is that any and all upgrades to get to the next Tier was locked out. For those that don’t know, for some requirements to get to the next rank (and even in general progress) you have to upgrade your buildings in different ways. This bug locked me out of upgrading anything. I did ensure that all apps were closed and I did reboot my iPad 9.5, but that didn’t work and the bug was still present. In turn, this will lock anyone who gets this out of all of their progression. Even though I didn’t spend money on this, I would be upset if I had because I can already see the status quo reply of “we’re sorry, we are working on a fix, but unfortunately you will have to restart from Rank 1”. So “Buyer Beware” if anyone is going to spend money on this.
