Idle Deepcore tasks you with expanding an underground mining operation by digging deeper, smelting ore, and upgrading pickaxes and automated machines across multiple mines. The game features a prestige system and land expansion mechanics that unlock new resource types, though progression can feel slow without understanding which mines and upgrades to prioritize. It appeals to players who enjoy methodical incremental games with multiple upgrade paths and offline gains, though those seeking faster pacing may find the late game grinding repetitive.
About this game
Idle Deepcore is an incremental mining game where you dig ever deeper, smelt ore into ingots, upgrade your pickaxe and machines, and grow several mines in parallel to build a vast underground industry.

Progression is very slow and can be heavily impeded by not buying/expanding to the proper land (which isn't ever explicitly explained), but even once you have opened all the necessary mines to get the full spread of the resources, progress is still very slow and eventually gets to a monotonous crawl where you're slowly buying upgrades and land while occasionally unlocking a skill. Didn't get to the full end game since it was just more of all the same, but can't really recommend it with the bland progression there is now.
Pretty fun idler/clicker game. I liked the prestige option, and the ability to add mines, and machines. Fun game and definitely worth the price when compared to other clicker/incremental games.

MAP New FILTERS button — pick which biomes stay highlighted, the others fade out. Iron Veins now spawn more often and in bigger patches. ACHIEVEMENTS Cheater also unlocks when the auto-clicker upgrade hits 20 clicks/second — no third-party tool needed for 100 %. LAUNCH PAD Reworked rocket launches — flight phases on the CRT screen, propellant draining in stages. Just looks cooler. Drill target picker moved to a second CRT screen built into the launch pad — slides in when you click CHOOSE TARGET, much more immersive. New "SHOW CURRENT TARGET" / "SHOW LAST TARGET" button above LAUNCH — jumps straight to the orbit map centred on your active or most recent drill chunk. UI Resource bar rows stop flickering — once seen this prestige, they stay at "0" instead of disappearing. Research lab balances (Astrium / Logic Circuits) moved top-left in a styled frame, with a hover tooltip explaining how to obtain each. New Preferences toggle: silence the navigation tutorial highlights (yellow flash on MAP / SMELT / DEPOT / SKILL buttons). New Preferences toggle: swap upgrade-cost icons for the original v1.0 text labels. Tutorial highlights + first-time popups now save instantly so they don't re-trigger after a quick close.

Click CHOOSE TARGET and the camera slides to a sister CRT showing the orbit map. Pick a chunk with the arrow buttons, the keyboard, or by clicking. Re-targeting an existing mine merges the loaded cargo into the existing shaft when there's room. QUALITY OF LIFEWorld map (planet AND orbit) is now zoomable — mouse wheel or the new + / − buttons. Automation condition wizard reworked. Building a condition now walks through three hierarchical dropdowns (Operator → Quantity → Comparator + value) instead of the old flat list, so AND / OR composites can actually have meaningful sub-thresholds. BUG FIXESAutomation condition wizard silently saved the threshold value as 0 if you typed it (e.g. "if Titanium Ore
