Our take on Mining Factory
Its focus on mineral gathering and staged processing gives the game a defined resource-management loop, but leaves less room for activities beyond exploration, smelting and the described fighting.
What is Mining Factory?
This idle mining and smelting game centers on gathering minerals and processing them through mine-specific smelting stages.
It includes 40 kinds of minerals, ranging from coal, oil and natural gas to metals, phosphate rock, limestone and quartzite. Processing uses equipment such as furnaces, flotation machines and mining machines, with about 10 equipment types. Each stage requires raw materials and fuel. Mineral resources are limited, so heroes must explore to locate and obtain more. The vendor also describes fighting and teaming up to reach the 100th floor.
