And we’re here to help make it better by sharing a bunch of Idle Miner Tycoon cheats and tips to help you progress faster and unlock everything sooner. Because everything is better when you can achieve it faster!

So let’s not waste any time because there are a ton of levels to unlock in the mine. Read on for Touch Tap Play’s Idle Miner tips and cheats!

Manage your managers
It sounds strange, but that’s exactly what you should do. Apart from hiring a manager as soon as you unlock a new level down the mine, you should also micromanage them in order to get the most out of the game.

By micromanaging the managers I mean to do the following: assign managers that give a speed or mining boost to the lowest mines possible, while keeping the ones that reduce the amount you pay for upgrades at the top. Use the ones with the best effects at the bottom of the mine because that’s where most of your money comes from.

But before starting to purchase an upgrade, unassign the manager of that area and bring one from the top that reduces the amount you have to pay per upgrade. This little trick will save you a ton of money and it can also be used with the Elevator and Storage above the ground.

Make opening new mines your priority
Even if you can upgrade everything else in the upper levels, it’s more profitable to simply open a new mine shaft as soon as you get the chance. A new mine will always produce a ton of money, even at level 1, so get those done first.

The same goes for digging through the difficult areas: whenever you reach one, make it your goal to get enough resources to remove that first.

Upgrade with milestones in mind
You get massive boosts with everything once they reach certain levels (10, 25, 50, 100, 200 and so on). Upgrade with this in mind and try to reach those milestones with each mine as soon as possible in order to maximize your revenue.

Keep an eye above the ground
We usually spend most of the time looking at the mine shafts and we forget about what’s happening at the top. Upgrading the things there is extremely important as you must have a perfect balance between everything: make sure that your elevator has enough capacity to gather all the resources you’re mining, but also that the guys carrying it over and cashing it in can actually do it.

Look at the number above the elevator’s building and if it doesn’t drop to 0 after your guys come to collect, you should build more upgrades.

Watch the ads for Boosters!
Getting double income is something you should always try to have on. Watch the ads in order to get your boost for two hours: not only that it helps the developers of this great game, but it also helps you to progress faster since you make more money. It’s a win-win situation!

Pro tip: Watch multiple ads to get 24 hours of double earnings. Then put the game away and return after a while, ideally after the night passes. You will get a huge amount of money that you can double by watching another ad. That’s how you make a ton of money!

Premium currency
The only thing you can spend the Premium Currency in Idle Miner right now seems to be the even better boost that gives you 10x income for 1 or 12 hours. So take advantage of this when you have enough premium currency and you want a massive boost.

Or just pile up on the premium currency hoping that something even more interesting will be introduced in the game and you’ll be able to get that with Premium money.

This would be all for Idle Miner Tycoon right now. If you have other tips and tricks for fellow players, don’t hesitate to share them with us in the comments section below.
