Minerals Minigame

Minerals Minigame Screen

Minerals minigame is located in the first tab of 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 slots you need to mine enough minerals, when all 3 slots for the mineral group are unlocked you can buy 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. Higher rarity minerals 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, increase minerals gains and chance and make the minerals minigame more effective
