How to play Idle Miner
Idle Miner CIRVAI is a mine-management idle game. Open shafts one under the other, tap the crew to dig, ride the ore up in the elevator and sell it at the depot. Every station is a trip: tap it to start one, or hire a manager to repeat it forever.
Upgrades raise capacity, and every few levels the station doubles its output and works faster. Keep the three links of the chain in balance, because a small elevator or a slow depot holds the whole mine back. Managers bring a Rush skill that doubles a station's speed for a short time, and golden veins pop up for quick bonus cash.
When the mine gets big, start over with Surveyors: each one adds a permanent income bonus, so every new mine grows faster than the last. Your managers keep earning while you are away and you collect it when you come back. Progress is saved on your device.

FAQ
Do I earn while the game is closed?
Yes, for stations that have a manager. The whole chain (a shaft, the elevator and the depot) needs one, and you collect the earnings, up to 8 hours worth, when you return.
What does Rush do?
A manager's Rush doubles the speed of that station for 25 seconds. After that it needs a few minutes of rest, or you can watch an optional video to have it ready at once.
What are Surveyors?
A restart bonus. Once your mine has earned enough you can start a new one and keep Surveyors, each adding +10% income for good. Cash, shafts and managers reset.
Why is my money not growing faster?
Look for the bottleneck. Ore waits at the shafts when the elevator is too small, and at the depot when the hauler cannot keep up. Upgrade the link that has the pile in front of it.
Is Idle Miner free?
Yes. It is free to play in your browser, with no download and no account.
Can I play on my phone?
Yes. It runs on phones, tablets and computers. Tap a station to start a trip, tap the buttons to upgrade and hire, drag to scroll down the mine.
