I calculated the best proportion of "(worker*worker capacity)/throughput rate" should be as close to 5,15 as possible - this gives You an opportunity to go full idle, as storage will never be full (and you won't have to upgrade it), but it won't go empty either, so sluice box will always work (also remember to have a worker level equal or higher to throughput rate to make it work). Give me a + for others to see this :P

love the game, but really dissapointed today, loaded it up and saves compleatly gone. lost everything and back to square one. really needs some pollishing up and tweeks to make it a good game for everyone

Not bad, but, what's point of ingot if price ingot = selling price * 400? seems to be waste of 1000g need to create other than highscore..
I am keeping digger lvl = sluice box throughout lvl*(Digger speed : sluice box clean up speed), worker&worker carry cap adjusting accordingly every time after I upgrade sluice.
also, I noted near-full temp storage makes worker travelling distant shorter by a little.. I don't know if it actually affects production speed, but I am usually keeping it almost full. Seem to be better way to keep worker efficiency higher even by little, if it actually affects. Anyone has any idea?

Price increase curve is a bit steep for slucebox. I'd recommend putting that increase into other upgrades, or simply lowering it altogether. Or perhaps even separating capacity from throughput, with throughput being the one lowered.

Starts slow, gets fast for a bit, then slows right down again. To top it off, someone appears to have found a bug and is now sitting at the top of the high scores list with one billion workers, while the next highest is barely over 160. Needs some serious rebalancing, and a fix to the "stops functioning if you change to a different tab" issue would be nice.

Needs a hud to say how much per min each of your different items are making. I am finding it difficult to keep a balance without checking on things every 5-10 mins. If i got to check on it that much, it isnt an idle game

If sluice flow is constant, and my sluice box is full always, it should stand that I should get the same amount of gold per tick. Instead, I'm getting maybe half of that. A bug?
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
There's so much potential with this game...
How about a jewellery store? How about the gold affecting the economy?
Would be a good education in economics for the youngins.
Throw in a farming aspect of the game, and you can probably market a good time management game.
Cheers mate...

Gah! Save doesn't save everything. It empties out your sluice box and temporary storage, then everyone trots out from the third hut to start mining. I was at full sluice and 1/2 full temp. storage before saving and reloading, and now (even after 10 mins playing) I've got a way underutilised sluice and empty storage. Saving and reloading should NOT change the situation you set up beforehand! I'm gonna go ahead and give this 2/5. It needs quite a few tweaks to make it OK.

@GoeyJoe You want to keep your Sluice Box full all the time (sounds vaguely rude), so you should keep your Digger at the same level as the Sluice Box. Your Temporary Storage should never be more than about half full, it's purely so you don't waste resources while upgrading. Your upgrade proportions are all wrong, so you'd be getting way less income than the optimum.

I'm only up to 42 workers, but I'm already bored out of my skull watching the market screen and waiting for a good price. When it only updates twice a minute, I'm spending most of my time just staring at the screen. Plus the game doesn't run at all if you have another tab open (it does if it's in another window), which is a complete no-no for an idle game. Looks nicer than the recent crop of idle games, though. Currently 2/5 but unrated in case it's updated.

the sluice upgrades are definitely overpriced compared to the rest of the process. some cost rebalancing is needed there. otherwise, neat concept. i look forward to a future game that incorporates multiple resources and requires you to build defenses to fend off attacks on your operation (combining and expanding elements of this and Idle-Tower).

hmmm..interesting game. A few EXTREME flaws....3/5....Also, a few new upgrades: gold gives more money. (300 cash. plus 27% cash every time) if you could spend some money to bring all your guys to anather area with more gold would be nice. Also, fantasize it a little and have later areas have "evil golems" and you need warriors to kill them. Also, when you get to the last area, you can spend alot of cash to summon the final boss...Diamond golem. when killed you beat the game.

want to buy more land ...... and how come the more gold you have the less the value but as soon as you sell it the price jumps up high this has potential dont give up on it
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
Need explanation, I cant understand the difference between worker and digger or if they are not balanced do you lose gold
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
Umm... yeah... usually I don't run a gold mine, but when I do I prefer to hire hundreds of people with shovels and buckets, instead of couple heavy duty loaders and such

OK when this game is tabbed "not active" it stops working. Meaning gold is no longer processed.. this is and IDLE game. so wth does it have to be active.
This is a MAJOR FLAW. Pls Fix it.

Crazy game .. i would like to see more Advancment in the camp however. Having a crane to pick up the dirt as a digger.. still carrying it to him in buckets????? just a thought ^^

Would be more rewarding if more visual changes appeared as you upgrade. Even if it's just a texture change or make the model scale bigger, that would be enough.
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
Not a bad game. I agree with others that it starts off too slow. I almost walked away. I'd also love to see some more upgrades. Maybe instead of 400 oz and a $1,000 you could upgrade so you could start smelting. Be a good use for the third house.
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
Im sorry to spam comments but, the sluice REALLLY needs updating... costs 10k for next upgrade and i need several of them to cope with my 16 diggers and 60 employers. eather make the upgrades increase the flow more than 1 after few upgrades or make it work faster.
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
This has so much potential, starting with a shag and 1 person, then hiring more ppl, upgrading house to fit more persons, buying better equipment and machiner, eventually buying more mines and the goal would be to buy a mansion :D
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
many upgrades to worker (60), Digger (16), storage (440) and sluice box 200) but the gold rate is disproportionately small. very unbalanced.
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
Too buggy, I now have 47 employees running about the screen who have gone full retard. They everywhere but where they should be...and no mining activity happening.
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
it could use some error messages thatr exlpain "why" cant you do something, for example trying to sell 1oz of gold when you have a fraction.
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
it's still too bugged, the HUD is too raw (the "hit box" when you mouse over something is way too small), it has no instructions in-game (or a tutorial level), it starts out too slow (idle games start out fast then become slow over time generally) one of the three houses seem to do nothing, and the sluice box's animation kind of blinks when the digger puts something in it
