About Mineral Mining Simulator
Mineral Mining Simulator starts you off with a small cave facility that you can expand into a full‑scale mining and production complex. You extract raw ore, break it apart, sort, refine, cut, polish, grade and finally pack the output for shipment.
The game emphasizes careful machine layout, automation and market strategy. As you unlock more machines, synthesis recipes and additional caves you can redesign bottlenecks, improve throughput and reach higher‑value industrial markets.
01 / THE GUIDE
Building and Automation
Construct drills, breakers, sorters, refiners, graders, packers, storage units and a variety of conveyors to move material from extraction to shipment. Filters, splitters, mergers and vertical routers let you direct items precisely where they belong.
A centralized management system shows operating speed, lets you upgrade performance, rename machines and monitor wear before a breakdown occurs. Redesign inefficient sections as you grow to keep the line flowing smoothly.
- Straight conveyor runs minimise travel distance for high‑throughput items.
- Early splitters can separate valuable ore from gravel before later stages.
02 / THE GUIDE
Surveying Deposits
Each mining spot contains a unique mix of minerals. Surveying a deposit raises its survey level, revealing additional mineral types and increasing the chance of higher‑grade results.
Higher survey levels help you decide which spots merit further development, influencing overall output quality and quantity as you expand.
- Prioritise spots that reach higher survey levels quickly.
- Survey deposits further to uncover additional minerals as you develop each spot.
03 / THE GUIDE
Synthesis and Advanced Composites
Purchase and unlock synthesis recipes, then combine specific processed minerals in the Synthesis Chamber to create high‑value products such as steel, porcelain blends, silicon carbide and battery compounds.
Each composite can be graded in the Synthesis Grader; upgrading its performance raises the likelihood of better results and opens access to specialised industrial markets.
- Maintain a steady flow of input materials to keep the chamber operating continuously.
- Upgrade the Synthesis Grader after establishing a reliable composite line.

Workers and Management
Recruit employees as your production grows and assign them to roles such as machine maintenance, supply restocking, storage handling and train loading.
Improving worker skills makes these tasks faster and more reliable; placing workers where their strengths match demanding processes lets you focus on expansion and optimisation.
- Assign skilled workers to high‑traffic machines to reduce downtime.
- Periodically train workers to keep skill levels aligned with production needs.
05 / THE GUIDE
Shipping and Markets
Pack finished products, organise storage, load delivery trains and choose where to sell. Different sales districts have distinct product demands, grade requirements and operating costs.
Building reputation with each market unlocks new destinations and larger train capacities, while client contracts let you meet specific delivery criteria for additional payment.
- Match product grades to market requirements when choosing where to sell.
- Use contracts to diversify income beyond regular district sales.
