About the Game

World

The world is made up of Floors and Areas. These Floors and Areas are the essential life of Dwarves Mining Idle, well, besides the Dwarves of course! Areas are infinite and Floors can be leveled and upgraded to become more powerful.

Floors

Floors are costly, but they are valuable! A Floor is made up of types: Mineable, Combat, Liquid and Loot. Each Floor type has its own value to material farming. While your Dwarves are working hard, your Floors will earn experience and they will be able to level up to earn points for upgrades to make material farming much easier. You can also Convert Floors if you need to change your strategy for efficiency.

Dwarves

Dwarves Mining Idle would be nothing without... Dwarves, right? Put your Dwarves to work on Floors. They will automatically start working once in the World so you won't have to bother them too much!

Buying a Dwarf
Starting out you will have a free choice for any Dwarf with any special stat and ultimate ability you'd like. After purchasing a Dwarf with materials, you can choose to keep your Dwarf "benched" or spawn him in the World to work.

Cloning a Dwarf
Cloning Dwarves together is simple. Choose which ones you'd like to Clone and tada! The stats will merge together and any stat the Dwarf didn't have before will learn the one from your second or first Dwarf you chose to clone together.



Skills
Once your Dwarf is ready, unlocking its Skill Tree can open a whole new world to what your Dwarves will be able to do.

Placeables

A placeable, once available, is a crucial part of continuing the material grind! Furnace, Crusher, Bottler and more! Smelt, Crush and Pump your way up to the top. Using fuel that Dwarves gather from Mining and other sources will allow you to create many more items with placeables!

Offline Gains

You will gain materials and Dwarf levels for up to 24 hours of offline time! Multipliers aren't included in the calculation, but you'll still receive a fair amount of materials and Dwarf levels from your time away.

The Surface

The Surface is an end-game place where you will need to effortlessly climb to. Once at the top, you will unlock a lot of new materials and even a new Dwarf Behavior: Exploring! Your Dwarf will be able to Explore, trigger events, even find some valuable materials and more!
