  v0.9.06 - More Employees & Better Factory Management

  Hi miners, 😄Thank you very much for your continued support, reports, feedback, and suggestions.After several recent updates focused on expanding late-game content and improving performance, this update focuses more on making larger mining operations easier to manage.We have added more employees for higher-level progression, expanded Machine Management with direct process speed controls, extended Delivery Train capacity upgrades, and improved several management and information systems throughout the game.There are also several building and visual fixes included in this update.Here is what is available in the latest version.Main Updates1. More EmployeesThe maximum available employee roster has been increased from 20 to 30 employees.The 10 additional employees become available gradually throughout the later progression, from Level 22 up to Level 40.This gives larger mining operations more employees to recruit as production areas, delivery routes, and automation continue to expand.2. Process Speed Control in Machine ManagementSupported machines can now have their process speed changed directly through Machine Management.Each supported machine card now includes a process speed control with:SlowMediumFastPreviously, changing process speed required interacting directly with the machine or its monitor.This can now be handled centrally through Machine Management, making it easier to adjust multiple production lines without walking to each machine individually.3. Extended Delivery Train CapacityDelivery Train capacity progression has been expanded with five additional upgrade levels.The new capacity upgrades are:3,250 capacity — available from Level 323,500 capacity — available from Level 343,750 capacity — available from Level 364,000 capacity — available from Level 384,250 capacity — available from Level 40These upgrades are available through the existing Delivery Train upgrade system and apply across all currently available Delivery Trains.This extends Delivery Train progr...

  v0.8.56 - Smoother Large Factories & Expanded Train Capacity

  Hi miners, 😄Thank you very much for your continued support, reports, feedback, and suggestions.Following the performance improvements introduced in the previous update, we are continuing our optimization work with a larger set of improvements aimed at more developed and complex mining facilities.This update includes optimizations for loading, saving, Main Menu responsiveness, employee task searching, world information displays, and additional background systems that can become heavier as factories continue to grow.We have also rebalanced the mining spot pools in Cave Area 3 based on player feedback, and expanded Delivery Train progression with additional capacity upgrades.Performance results may still vary depending on the device, save size, and factory layout. These improvements are part of our ongoing optimization work, and we will continue reviewing performance and making further improvements in upcoming updates.Here is what is available in the latest version.Performance Improvements1. Faster Loading, Saving & Main Menu ResponsivenessWe have made several improvements to reduce the workload involved when opening, loading, and saving larger game saves.Large and heavily developed saves should now load more efficiently, while the loading screen remains more responsive during the process.Saving has also been optimized to reduce the amount of work required when storing large amounts of factory data.The Main Menu has also been improved so save information can be handled more efficiently, reducing unnecessary waiting when opening the menu with larger or multiple save files.The impact of these improvements may vary depending on the size of the save and the device being used.Existing save files remain compatible with these changes.2. Dense Factory Display OptimizationLarge factories can contain many boxes, machines, racks, monitors, and information displays that do not always need to remain active when they are far away from the player.To reduce unnecessary processing, sev...

  v0.8.06 - More Delivery Trains & Smoother Late-Game Performance

  Hi miners, 😄Thank you very much for your continued support, reports, feedback, and suggestions.Following the recent expansion of the late-game progression, this update focuses primarily on improving performance for larger and more developed saves.We have optimized several systems that can become heavier as mining operations continue to grow, including how large amounts of stored items are handled and how employees search for certain tasks. We have also added three more Delivery Trains for later progression, improved keyboard input prompts, and added content monitors to additional conveyor machines.Performance results may still vary depending on the device, save size, and factory layout. These improvements are part of our ongoing optimization work, and we will continue reviewing performance and making further improvements in upcoming updates.Here is what is available in the latest version.Main Updates1. More Delivery TrainsThree additional Delivery Trains are now available as players continue progressing through the later Levels:Delivery Train Cave 1B — available from Level 25Delivery Train Cave 3B — available from Level 30Delivery Train Cave 3C — available from Level 35Each train can be purchased individually after reaching its required Level.These additional trains provide more delivery options as mining operations expand across different Cave Areas and production volumes continue to increase.Performance Improvements1. Late-Game Performance & Save OptimizationWe have made further optimizations for larger saves with more developed mining operations.Starter Machines containing very large amounts of stored items now use a lighter save-data system. This can significantly reduce the amount of data that needs to be stored in certain large saves, helping reduce save size, memory usage, and loading workload.We have also optimized how employees search for certain tasks.This particularly affects activities such as:Toxic Gas handlingBox mergingEmployees can now search for the...

  v0.7.56 - New Area to Explore & More Minerals to Mine

  Hi miners, 😄Thank you very much for your continued support, reports, feedback, and suggestions.This update expands the later stages of Mineral Mining Simulator with a new area to explore, more minerals to discover and process, and additional progression beyond the previous level limit.Players can now access Cave Area 3, discover 10 new Industrial Minerals, progress up to Level 40, and use a new Delivery Train to support larger mining operations. We have also added a more convenient way to place multiple machines and racks from stacked boxes.With this major expansion of the playable area and progression, we are also aware that performance may vary across different devices and factory layouts. We have included several performance improvements alongside this update, but we understand that further optimization may still be needed, especially as mining operations continue to grow in size and complexity.We will continue reviewing performance reports and working on additional optimization and performance improvements through the upcoming weekly updates.Here is what is available in the latest version.Main Updates1. Cave Area 3 is Now AccessibleA new mining area is now available for players who are ready to continue expanding their operation.Cave Area 3 can be unlocked after reaching:Level 20$500,000Once unlocked, the area provides access to many additional mining spots that become available gradually as you continue progressing.Employees can also work within Cave Area 3, allowing larger mining operations to continue using employee automation as the facility expands.2. 10 New Industrial MineralsWe added 10 new Industrial Minerals to discover and process:IronBauxiteNickelGraphiteSiliconFeldsparKaolinFluorsparMicaBariteThese minerals introduce a new group of mining materials alongside the gemstones already available in the game.Industrial Minerals continue through the production pipeline in a similar way to other mined materials.

  v0.6.77 - Employee Working Areas & Cave Area Management

  Hi miners, 😄Thank you very much for your continued support, reports, feedback, and suggestions.As mining facilities continue to grow across different parts of the cave, managing where employees should work can become increasingly important. In this update, we are introducing Employee Working Areas, along with additional Cave Area information to make larger operations easier to organize.We are also adding a new tool for clearing accumulated ground items, which can help keep heavily developed mining facilities cleaner and easier to manage.Here is what is available in the latest version.Main Updates1. Employee Working AreasEmployees can now be assigned to specific Cave Areas through the Employee Management menu.Each employee now has a Working Area setting where players can choose which available Cave Areas that employee is allowed to work in.By default, all available areas are enabled, maintaining the previous behavior where employees can work throughout the facility.Players can disable individual Cave Areas to prevent an employee from taking tasks within those locations.The Working Area setting affects the employee when looking for supported tasks involving:MachinesSupply RacksLoose boxesFor example, an employee assigned only to Cave Area 1 will ignore supported tasks located in Cave Area 2.Changes to the Working Area settings take effect immediately and are saved with the game.Objects located outside the defined Cave Areas can still be handled normally, allowing employees to continue working in shared or neutral areas when needed.2. Clear Ground ItemsWe added a new Clear Ground Items option to the Pause Menu.This feature allows players to remove loose items that have accumulated on the ground throughout the mining facility.After selecting the option, a confirmation will appear before any items are removed.The cleanup only affects loose items that have already stopped moving on the ground. Items that are:Still falling or movingCurrently being carriedwill not be remove...
