GIC Guides

Minerals is one of the tabs in Galaxy Idle Clicker. It contains the second Minigame and allows you to spend Minerals for various main game upgrades and Minigame improvements. Unlocked on reaching Galaxy #4 Star System #1 Planet #5 in the Easy Universe (1-4-1-5).

Minerals Minigame

Minerals Minigame Screen

The Minerals minigame is located on the first tab of the Minerals tab. Here you can mine minerals from the minerals slots. There are 12 mineral groups with 3 mineral slots each. You can click the minerals to mine them. The required number of clicks to mine a mineral is displayed in the bottom left corner of the mineral slot.

In order to unlock the next mineral slot you need to mine enough minerals. Once all 3 slots for a mineral group are unlocked you can buy the Auto Mine feature for that group. Each new group will triple the value of minerals (3x -> 9x -> 27x -> 81x) and double the amount of clicks required (2x -> 4x -> 8x -> 16x).

There are 4 types of minerals that can spawn. Minerals of higher rarity will require more clicks to mine and will yield more minerals:

Mineral types

Mineral	Basic Clicks Required	Basic Minerals Value
Normal Minerals		1
Golden Minerals		5
Diamond Minerals		15
Amethyst Minerals		40

Later on you can buy upgrades that cost minerals to speed up the mining process, increase minerals gains and chance and make the minerals minigame more effective.

Special Upgrades

Always visible on the right side of the Minerals Tab, the Special Minerals upgrades improve mining speed, minerals gains and allow you to mine more minerals when clicking.

Pickaxe damage upgrades increase damage done by 1 per level per click. This unlocks at 10 mined minerals and has a maximum of 30 levels.
