Drill and Collect - Idle Mina 12+

I have been playing this game for months now I’m in the 35th area. It does repeat every other area is the same gems to mine. I don’t mind it though. Buying the no ads is a must I did that a while ago. Starting out can be difficult cause you have to make enough to get more rope. It’s important to upgrade the processor to each type of gem. You need to do this quickly. Always focus more on rope them upgrade tools. I only usually upgrade the drill to about level 5. The excavator needs upgrading I’d say to at least level 10. It’s not necessary to complete each area by upgrading to the max. Once your tools are at a good level put everything except rope and workers to upgrading the next area. It increasingly cost more and more each area more and more. Keep extending the rope till you make it so as to have extra money to start the next area. Those are my tips. The disadvantages are no way to earn purple tickets to use the magnet monster excavator and super helper. You have to buy them and I rarely do this. Not much point to going back previous areas only two or three at the most. You just don’t get enough money to help you in your current area.

I think the game is fun, but there’s really no point to previous areas because they mainly give the lowest paying mineral the most. I usually only go to the 2nd previous area to pick up cash if I need some because past that it’s not worth running. Also, it would be more beneficial if the materials given when you upgrade to the next area was more dispersed rather than mainly the cheapest mineral being mined mostly. Another thing is when you get past the major mining area where there is no longer rocks, also has too much of the minor mining material. There are also too many upgrades for the tools that make it not worth it. I can get away only upgrading my saw blade up to level 4 or 5 and it’s easy to mine with. The drill is a lot better in certain circumstances too. The main thing I’ve needed to upgrade is rope length. Which hasn’t been an issue at all. But the other upgrades get too expensive. And upgrading the next unlocked area is a higher priority than mining the next area and getting the money then upgrading, it’s wasteful to do that. But other than this, I’d like to see an update that focuses on increasing the previous area’s production of cash, better mineral priority for previous areas is more important imo. Thanks for reading, hope to hear from the devs.

I absolutely adore this game! It is very relaxing and fun to play if you have some time to spend. However, me and my brother who were getting tired of the late game stage were looking to deleting our progress, but we could not find a delete progress button. We both uninstalled our games and redownloaded it and found very (very) different results. Mine reset but his didn’t. Now he is getting worried because he is 6 and feels that everything I have needs to be his as well😒, and as the big sister that I am, I am trying my hardest to help him but being only twelve and having anxiety it is not helping. So if the developers are reading this, please add a reset data button in settings and save some people a lot of time. Other than that it is an absolutely wonderful app and with the new update adds quite a lot of needed improvements.
