Mad Mining Machines

Features
Read full description

Welcome to Mad Mining Machines! Design, upgrade, and manage an automated mining network to extract the rarest gemstones ever discovered. Start with basic mining machines and gradually turn them into a powerful extraction system. Each gemstone has its own resistance, and only a well-optimized setup will allow you to extract it efficiently. As your machines work together, extraction progresses automatically. Watch each gemstone slowly emerge until it reaches full completion — then collect it instantly and move on to even rarer stones. Every successful extraction increases your income, allowing you to reinvest, upgrade faster, and push your mining operation further. But strategy matters: • Machines consume energy and can break down • Batteries must be managed carefully • Selling machines can save you in critical situations Plan your upgrades wisely, balance power and autonomy, and progress through increasingly valuable gems. Only the best engineers will reach the ultimate goal:
extract the legendary Éclat Divin.
