What it is

You start with one shaft, one cart and one worker. From there it is all reinvestment: dig deeper, hire more hands, upgrade the lift that carries the coal up.

How it plays

The mine keeps working while you are away, so most sessions are a short check-in: collect what piled up, spend it on the slowest part of the chain, close the tab again.

Who it suits

Idle-game readers who like a clear bottleneck to fix, and anyone who wants progress without a long sitting.
