Frequently Asked Questions

[Spongebob]

Q: Do you have any other games?
A: Yes, you can find them on my website.[www.coldhours.com]

Q: What are the special codes for?
A: Special codes currently are only used to help me debug the game when users find issues, in the future I plan to add a way to send players gifts.

Q: Do you have any special code you can share?
A: There are currently no special codes that award players resources, they may be added in the future.
You can find existing codes on the wiki.[idle-cave-miner.fandom.com]

Q: What's the current roadmap for the game?
A: There won't be a roadmap because while some features sound good on paper, they often don't fit in with the game, so I want to avoid locking in a feature before it is ready. But be assured that I'm working on improving the game and adding new stuff, for now, expect the unexpected.

Q: Can you add [?] translation?
A: I'm working on adding new translations to the game.

Q: What is the best team composition?
A: Teams used by high floor players can be found on the wiki.[idle-cave-miner.fandom.com]

Q: Where should I spend my premium gems?
A: It's recommended to upgrade the double output chance from the 'Gold' forge and the 'Mythic Gem' forge. If you already have those, consider saving up for Maya, Pedro, or Kemo.

Hi, I am currently playing this game on android. Will it be cross save between both platforms?
Thanks ^^

Hi, unfortunately because of the way the cloud saves are implemented cross play isn't possible.
At some point I'd like to revisit this, and hopefully find a solution.
You'll be able to transfer your save file between platforms and keep all your progress!

Soon, I'm almost done with 1.8, and it should release together with the new update.

i bought all updates on android but i dont play a lot there, im a pc gamer... if it has no crossave feature i dont want play it on pc again... That would be a real shame. It must be possible to link Steam ACcount to the mobile account and save it there hmm, rip to the PC version

Right, so, I forgot to do an update on this, but cross-platform saves will be possible! I changed the whole backend of the game, so to transfer your save file you will have to save to the cloud again, but you'll be able to load all your data from android on the steam version.
I hope this helps :)

Sorry but Maya and Kemo are not worth it, If you use Maya Floor 0-400 on scrapyard you have only 200+ copper, silver ores and maybe 30 gold... thats it, pedro is much better; the ability of them should work for all active miners

What happens with resources when miners destroy with their AOE more tiles than their storage? Do they still deliver all the resources or do you lose some?

When exactly the game saves? I think I had a situation when I got a bird, it became 7/10 for daily gem birds. I closed the game after that. When I came back later that day, it was 6/10. I am not sure about the situation and may be mistaken but it would be nice to know when the progress is saved an I can just quit without losing it. For example, if I give orders in the forge right before closing the game are they saved or will I lose them?

They still store all the resources of the broken blocks.

The game saves automatically every 30 seconds, or on certain actions, such as switching the layout of your team of miners, or for example stocking up the forge.

Thank you for these answers. It's great that it saves on stocking up the forge.

It would be nice to get this game version after skip ads already purchased on mobile ;)
Ive spend some money on purchases made from my iphone soo...... ;)

PS.
This is best idler for me, already more than year of playing this on phone. Thanks!

[RhyanosaurusRex]

can you add a hard mode that makes the rocks stronger but you get more ores?

[Lunkan]

I feel like there should be a miner that can act as storage for the others. So he/she basically just runs around picking up ores/gems from the other miners backpacks so they don't have to deposit as much. Could be interesting no?
