Small Update 1.2.3
This update focuses on early game progression and some QOL. Some might see the beginning of the game as a bit TOO slow, and this is not what I want when it comes to first impressions and player retention.

General Updates

QOL: When clicking Unlock for your second floor purchase, it will now automatically select Mineable button.
QOL: Current Area number will now show on the Next Floor unlock panel.
Decreased material offline gain. It was set too high.

Floor Updates

When a Dwarf fully mines an area, it will now give extra materials as a reward. The reward amount and material type will be based on how many floors you have and Ore Progression unlocks.
Floors will now start on Auto-Mine. Auto-Unlock will have to be manually enabled if you want to progress through areas. This will prevent players from getting confused why they are losing materials.
A helpful tip on explaining Floors Auto-Unlock and Auto-Mine will now show up once your Dwarf has completed mining an area.
Floor required areas have been reduced.
Floor 3 Required Areas has been decreased from 50 to 5.
Floor 4 Required Areas has been decreased from 250 to 10.
Floor 5 Required Areas has been decreased from 1000 to 25.
Floor 6 Required Areas has been decreased from 1500 to 100.
Floor 7 Required Areas has been decreased from 2500 to 500.
Floor 8 Required Areas has been decreased from 3500 to 1000.
Floor 9 Required Areas has been decreased from 5000 to 2500.
Floor 10 Required Areas has been decreased from 10000 to 5000.
Floor required materials have been reduced.
Floor 2 Material Cost have been decreased from 500 Dirt and 500 Stone to 15 Dirt and 10 Stone.
Floor 3 Material Cost have been decreased from 2K+ Dirt and 2K+ Stone to 50 Dirt and 50 Stone.
Floor 4 Material Cost have been decreased from 3K+ Dirt and 3K+ Stone to 500 Dirt and 300 Stone.
Floor 4 no longer has a sand cost and the overal Sand Cost was reduced from multiplied by 600 to multiplied by 200, making the cost lower than it was.
Floor 5+ will have a significant boost in their cost.

Cloning Orb Updates

Refreshing buyable Dwarves no longer only costs Diamonds. It will start at 5 Dirt if you have 5 or less Dwarves, 5 Copper Ore at 6 or 10 Dwarves and anything higher than 10 Dwarves will cost 10 Diamonds to refresh.
Cloning is now available early. Cloning Dwarves no longer cost only Diamonds. It will now cost Dirt, Stone, Copper Ore, Copper Ingot and eventually Diamonds the more you Clone.
Second Dwarf cost has been decreased from 100 Dirt to 10 Dirt.
Third Dwarf cost has been decreased from 500 Dirt to 25 Dirt.
Fourth Dwarf cost has been decreased from 100 Copper Ore to 30 Stone.
Fifth Dwarf cost has been decreased from 50 Copper Ingots to 15 Copper Ore.
Sixth Dwarf cost has been decreased from 5 Gold Ingots to 10 Copper Ingots.
Cost has been changed for Dwarves after purchasing your sixth Dwarf. The cost is still Diamonds, but it's now determined by how many Dwarves you have bought in total: 1 + (DwarvesBought * 2).

Added an alert message when your game autosaves.
Added a manual save button in settings.
Updated all the game's information when you click the green "i" button on top of windows. The default information wasn't intended to be left almost empty, sorry about that.
Menu Tab information that was updated: Dwarves & Stats Tab, Floor Actions Tab, Dwarven Book Tab, Archaeology Tab.

Updated all multiplier and chance information when spending your Floor Stat points.

Fixed cursor going out of the screen when dragging the camera with your mouse.

Small Update 1.1.5 Pushing fixes as per Daily Challenges & Auto-Unlock Area, Dwarven Book (UI?), Material Refund and suggestions as per Feature Request: Pump Machine Toggle for Copper Ingot Use
General Updates

QoL: Added a new Setting: Pause Pump Pipes. This will pause all Pump's from buying pipes with ingots. Disabling this setting will continue purchasing the Pipe's ingots cost.
QoL: Added Auto Fill for Archaeology Sets.
Floor Stats window and Floor Buy Stats window are now movable.

Fixes

Fixed Obsidian text not updating when switching to Dwarf King Tab. Last fix did fix the update issue when you were earning Obsidian, but if you weren't in the tab and tabbed back the Obsidian wouldn't update when switching.
Fixed Dwarven Book not updating Dwarf Points text when switching to the tab. If you were on the tab it'd update, but switching back and staying on it wouldn't update its value properly, showing the wrong value and confusing the player.
Fixed Daily Challenges values updating incorrectly and it would allow negative values update the daily progression. I didn't take into account negative values and it will now update if the value is greater than 0.

Pushing fixes as per Hardened Dust Disappearing From Machines
Some of these new issues (fixed now hopefully) are due to my reinstallation of windows. When I push my changes to our git repo it somehow ignored some files and I didn't realize this until now.
Seeing you lost Hardened Dust from a machine when clicking craft, if you have a fusion machine spawned you'll receive a reward for the inconvenience!

Fixes

Fixed Hardened Dust not showing the correct sprite. Sprites were loading from a folder which was wrong.
Fixed Hardened Dust being removed from Placeables when crafting a new item.
Fixed The Surface not able to generate due to a missing prefab.

Patch Notes

General Updates

Auto Unlock and Auto Mine options are now available in the area unlock panel. Since Floor Actions has to be unlocked now, you'll be able to select 'Auto Mine' to gather materials instead of continiuously wasting materials on automatically unlocking new areas. You'll be able to select this option whenever a Dwarf is waiting to mine after depleting an area.
Second Floor Unlock area requirement is now 1 Area required instead of 25. This will allow you to unlock the second floor without needing a higher area requirement if you choose Auto Mine before purchasing your second floor.

Hello new and returning dwarf idlers! It's 2025 and I hope everyone had an amazing holiday and start to the New Year! Progression Update 1.1 will focus on new type of progression system and more of a even better user-friendly experience. Dwarves Mining Idle is 50% off during the Idler Fest event.
Dwarves Mining Idle didn't have any progression information or information regarding what you had unlocked and in turn most players didn't know what to do or look at. Recipes were already unlocked and players kind of had no clue what recipes you had either besides going to an unlocked placeable (Furnace, etc).
We've had some feedback on our UI, seems most players still couldn't grasp it. Seeing how players still had issues with this, we've taken the liberty to remove all the buttons on the UI and put them all into one button (Game Menu) and one window using a tab system. Each one of these tabs are now locked and are unlocked with progression. This way you will KNOW what each tab represents and what it does after unlocking a new tab in the Game Menu. Previously, all the buttons were thrown at you without any type of unlock progression and I feel like this made it more difficult for players since they didn't want to go through and read what each button brought them too.

Patch Notes

Progression Update 1.1

Slightly reworked the guide for the new update. Also made the guide more user-friendly, easier to read and follow. Added a new part to the guide that you can access by going to Menu -> Settings -> Guide.
Added Dwarf King Perk tree. This is a special perk tree that allows you to spend Obsidian you obtain from completing challenges to upgrade specific perks for some long-term beneficial stats!
Added Challenges. Completing a challenge will reward you with Obsidian and you can spend Obsidian in the new Dwarf King Perk tree.
Added Daily Challenges. The daily timer shares with the store timer that way they both reset at the same time.
Added over 250+ Challenges.
Removed and cleaned up all buttons in the UI (Dwarves, Floors, etc) and replaced it with one Game Menu button that brings up every removed button using a tab system.
Added new button: Game Menu. This button is more noticeable (it's bigger and the only button to bring up the Game Menu).
Added new button artwork for the Game Menu window. These new buttons should be more noticeable on what the tab is.
Offline progression was changed with the new progression system.

Achievements
With the new update comes more achievements to, well, achieve!
Added new achievement icons on Steam!
Added new achievement: Smelting Artisan: Unlock all Furnace Recipes.
Added new achievement: Crusher Artisan: Unlock all Crusher Recipes.
Added new achievement: Stamping Artisan: Unlock all Stamper Recipes.
Added new achievement: Fusion Artisan: Unlock all Fusion Machine Recipes.
Added new achievement: General Challenger: Complete all General Challenges.
Added new achievement: Daily Challenger: Complete 5 Daily Challenges.

Added new achievement: Combat Challenger: Complete all Combat Challenges.
Added new achievement: Liquid Challenger: Complete all Liquid Challenges.
Added new achievement: The Surface Challenger: Complete all The Surface Challenges.

Progression
Each tab that was once a button in the UI is now locked and can be unlocked through progression.
Floors Tab: Unlock by purchasing your second floor.
Dwarven Book: Unlock by purchasing 3 Dwarves.

Store Tab: Unlock by completing 100 Challenges.

Floor Conversion Progression
Before converting floors to Combat or Liquid you now have to unlock Combat and Liquid.
Combat: Unlocks after purchasing your second floor.
Liquid: Unlocks after defeating 100 Slimes.

Ore Progression
Back when early development ores were locked to an area number. I wanted an idea on how to go about this without including area number and I decided to lock ore behind progression. This will allow you to know the ores in the game and what's available to you.
Dirt: Unlocked by default.
Stone: Unlocked by default.
Sand: Mine 1000 Dirt and 500 Stone to unlock.
Mud: Mine 250 Sand to unlock.
Coal: Mine 50 Dirt and 25 Stone to unlock.
Copper Ore: Mine 100 Coal to unlock.
Gold Ore: Mine 250 Copper Ore to unlock.
Diamond: Mine 100 Gold Ore to unlock.
Uranium Ore: Mine 500 Diamond to unlock.

Enemy Progression
You now have to unlock new enemies by eliminating available enemies. Dumb Goblin and Angry Goblin drops more loot.
Dumb Goblin: Slay 100 Slimes.
Angry Goblin: Slay 1000 Slimes and 100 Dumb Goblins

Placeables Progression
Placeables are now locked to progression. They still have a cost to place down.
Furnace: Mine 25 Copper Ore to unlock.
Pump: Have a Dwarf dig up 500 Water and 100 Lava.
Crusher: Smelt 100 Copper Ingots and 10 Gold Ingots.
Bottler: Smelt 1000 Glass.
Fusion: Crush 200 Crushed Coal, 100 Crushed Copper, 50 Crushed Gold and 12 Crushed Diamond.
Stamper: Smelt 15000 Copper Ingots and 5000 Gold Ingots.
The Surface placeables do not require progression to unlock.

Patch Notes
The Surface 1.0

General

The Surface

Updated Floor 1. You cannot convert Floor 1 if you already started The Surface Climb.
Added The Surface World Generation when you finally reach The Surface. It will take 25 ladders to climb to The Surface.
Added the prompt back for The Surface when you click the Wood material on Floor 1.
Added trees, rocks, plants, grass and flowers that will spawn on The Surface on World Generation.
Added a Trader. It can have a chance to spawn once you reach The Surface or if you haven't found him yet, your Dwarf can look for him by Exploring. The Trader has some valuable, but expensive things for sale!
Added a new Tile: Mithril. Mithril cannot spawn in the world and the ore can only be obtained by a Dwarf Exploring. If you have enough Mithril, you will be able to create a Mithril Honeycomb and place the Mithril Honeycomb on a Mineable Floor to have a chance for Mithril to spawn.
Added a new Ore: Mithril Ore.
Added a new Ingot: Mithril Ingot.
Added new materials: Coins

Copper Coin.
Gold Coin.
Mithril Coin.
Added 27 new materials: Bees, Honey and Honeycomb.
Added new placeable for The Surface only: Apiary. Apiary breeds Bees and creates Honey and Honeycomb with Bees. You must find a Bee by exploring to buy your first Apiary and you cannot place an Apiary down where there's an object.
Added new placeable: Stamper. Using Ingots, the Stamper can create Coins. Coins can be used to buy goodies from the Trader or The Store. Trader can spawn randomly when exploring The Surface or on World Generation (if you get lucky).
Added new placeable: Honeycomb. Honeycomb is obtained by Bee Production in an Apiary. Honeycomb can be used to increase ore or non-ore spawn chances underground and can only be placed on a Mineable Floor.
Added a spawning option for The Surface in the Cloning Orb to choose to spawn your Dwarf on The Surface or Underground. This prompt will show once you reach The Surface. Only one Dwarf can be on The Surface.
Added Flowers that can spawn with Pollen. If a flower has pollen and you're breeding or producing in an Apiary, there's a chance you can receive extra materials.
Added 7 random events for the new Dwarf Behavior "Exploring".

Failed attempt at finding something.
Chance to catch a Normal Bee.
Chance for a random object to be destroyed (Tree, rock, plant, etc).
Chance for a flower to wilt if it doesn't have any pollen left for a new, random object to take its place.
Chance for a flower to spawn.
Chance for the Trader to be found.
Chance for Mithril Ore to be found.
Added 4 stat properties you can choose when The Surface levels up.

Increase the chance for Mithril to be found.
Increase the chance for random scenery to be destroyed.
Increase the chance to find a Normal Bee.
Increase the chance to find a Flower.
Completely reworked the in-game Store for you to spend your coins. There's a regular shop and Featured Dailies with a ton of Great Deals to Legendary DEALS! The store will also include Seasonal Event shop items once an event starts so you can spend your Event Tokens.

Achievements

Added new achievement: Reach The Surface!

Offline Gain

Limited Offline Gain to 24 hours.
Updated Enemy kills and enemy loot gain to give you more loot based on time. It wasn't giving much slime or wood for low minute calculation.

Dwarf

Fire, Ice and Poison Skills are now fully implemented.
Added new Dwarf Behavior "Exploring". This can only be done on The Surface. Once the Dwarf explores it takes 5 seconds for them to try and find something. If nothing is found they move on.

Camera

Changed how the camera works when you unlock The Surface. It will snap to the ladders if you're moving your camera down from The Surface.
You can no longer move the camera X Axis (horizontal A+D) Underground.

UI

Main Menu

Made the Main Menu UI larger. Buttons were pretty small.
Added Credits Button.
Added Discord Button.

Material Alerts

Added Material Alerts that will show materials mined, looted, smelted, etc. that Dwarves are working hard to farm.
These alerts will show on the left side of your screen. It will show how many materials are gathered within a 10 second period and the material icon that's currently looted/mined.

Fixes

General Fixes

Potentially fixed an issue that may have caused liquids to give more than they should after digging if you bought Liquid Spawn Chance Properties when your Liquid Floor leveled.

Placeable Fixes

Fixed cost not being deducted after placing a Placeable (Furnace, etc).
Fixed some placeables that gave improper high Build Cost too early.

Dwarf Fixes

Fixed Dwarf Position not saving on The Surface.
Fixed when Dwarves mine a Floor it wouldn't create the next area. It will now run another check so this doesn't happen again since it was a rare bug. (Thanks Ms Clover on discord for the report!).
Fixed an issue when Dwarves are digging, they would run out of Stamina at 0 seconds and the timer would reset without giving any materials. Stamina will now be reduced after the Dwarf has gathered the material.

UI Fixes

Fixed Placeable Panel not updating costs until you click on a placeable again. It will now update the cost after you purchase a placeable.
Fixed Tooltips going off screen based on resolution. It will now respect your resolution.
Fixed being able to click behind UI. This shouldn't happen anymore.
Fixed when resizing your game window it would cause tooltip to overlap what you're hovering with your mouse. To combat this I disabled resize manually, but you can use the Settings to choose your appropriate resolution.

World Generation Fixes

Fixed when your game is loaded ground tiles wouldn't be set properly causing a crash.

Hotfix 0.8.09

General

Retweaked Area Cost requirements for certain materials. Some of the material requirements seemed a bit high that were required to have at early areas.
Slightly increased Wood offline gain.
Dwarf Skill Points will now show as a decimal value to deflect confusion when it rounds levels higher or equal to 1.5k. If you had level 1,500 it previously rounded off to 2 skill points which may have caused confusion.

Quality of Life

Added a Viewable Only Next Area Cost panel in the Floor Actions Window. It allows you to view the cost of the next area on a Mineable Floor.

Fixes

Fixed an issue that caused enemy elimination on offline calculation to be too high.
