Plan your next Keep on Mining! session
This guide isolates each core system of Keep on Mining!—mining, pickaxe creation, skill‑tree upgrades, talent‑card choices, and the idle Mine—so you can experiment with their interactions and find a rhythm that keeps your bar count climbing.
01 / THE GUIDE
Observe Cursor Mining
Hover over a rock and note how the spawned pickaxes continue mining without further movement. Record the time it takes for a rock to be fully mined.
- Keep the cursor over a rock to let its spawned pickaxes work continuously.
- Observe which rock types yield the ores you need for upcoming upgrades.
02 / THE GUIDE
Compare Pickaxe Builds
Craft two pickaxes using different material combos. Measure the mining speed of each on the same rock type and compare bar output.
- Craft a new pickaxe as soon as you have enough bars to keep mining efficiency high.
- Try different material combinations to see how they affect pickaxe performance.
03 / THE GUIDE
Skill Tree Path Test
Spend bars on a mining‑power upgrade first, then on a utility upgrade. Track how each path changes the rate of bar generation.
- Early upgrades that increase mining power give immediate benefits.
- Balance power upgrades with any utility upgrades that appear later.
04 / THE GUIDE
Talent Card Trade‑off
Select a talent card that raises talent level. Observe the resulting increase in rock HP and test whether your current pickaxe can still mine efficiently.
- Pick talent cards that match the strength of your current pickaxe.
- Remember that increased rock HP may require you to upgrade pickaxes sooner.
05 / THE GUIDE
Idle Mine Impact
Unlock the Mine early, then monitor resource growth over a set period. Add a skill‑tree upgrade midway and note any acceleration in idle production.
- Unlock the Mine early to benefit from idle resource generation.
- Combine idle output with skill‑tree upgrades for faster growth.
