Berezaa Games™/Miner's Haven

Miner's Haven is a game made by berezaa, a popular ROBLOX developer. It is a tycoon style of game in which the player's goal is to earn money by mining ore via miners and delivering the ore into furnaces to be processed for money. Money is gained by dropping ore directly on a furnace (usually using a cell furnace or equivalent higher-tier cell furnace), or using a conveyor system to move ore from the miners to a furnace, potentially upgrading the ore along the way via a variety of different upgraders, each with their own quirks and limitations (e.g. many upgraders limit how much an ore can be upgraded in some manner). Players earn research points (also known as Player Points) via processing ore in furnaces or research stations (a specialized type of furnace) to unlock new, more powerful miners, upgraders, conveyor pieces, and more. Miner's Haven doesn't have a true ending or finishing point, because players can buy another life for 25 quintillion (Qn) to start over, earning a special Reborn tier item, with the price of rebirth increasing by 25 quintillion every life. It's worth noting that all Premium and Reborn items carry over to the next life. This means that items unlocked through Game Passes, social media Codes (currently only Twitter and Twitch codes have been distributed), and from rebirth will be retained in the player's next life.

Gameplay
Players starts with $50, three iron droppers, ten basic conveyors, and one furnace. The goal is to build a system so that ore mined from the miners is transported into the furnace to gain cash. Players should money so that they can buy better equipment (droppers, upgraders, conveyors, and furnaces) to enhance their income and design around the tycoon. Not only do they have to worry about making money to upgrade their tycoon, they also must earn research points (Player Points). These are earned when a certain amount of ores are fed into special furnaces called Research Centers. Many items need a certain amount of research points to be unlocked so the player can purchase it and add it to their complex mine system.

A player can't put infinite numbers of droppers, due to the ore limit and tycoon size. If it reaches the limit, some droppers will stop or only produce ore sometimes. The limit can be upgraded to be able put more ores from droppers in tycoon.

Miners
Miners generate ore at a fixed rate with a fixed value or value range. Some miners give a flat rate, while others, such as the Berezium Mine, can generate an ore worth anywhere between $50 and $200. Upgrading miners is just as important as upgrading other parts of the player's tycoon.

Remote droppers are a different type of miner that require the player's full attention to gain the most out of. When a player places their first remote dropper, a walkie talkie with a green button will appear on the left edge of the screen. Clicking/tapping the button once will cause all placed remote droppers to drop one ore. Players can press the button slowly or quickly, giving better control over ore flow, and potentially allowing players to earn money faster than with regular, timed miners. If you prefer to take a more hands-on approach to Miner's Haven, remote droppers are for you. If you prefer a more hands-off approach and would prefer to sit back and watch your tycoon do its work for you, timed droppers would be a better idea.

Furnaces
Furnaces are what earn the player money. Ore delivered to a furnace is processed and turned into money for the player. There are two main types of furnaces: regular furnaces and cell furnaces.

Regular furnaces process ore at a fixed rate, and all furnaces but the Basic Furnace add additional value to the ore before rewarding the player with money. This addition of value is achieved through multiplication by the indicated value. For example, a furnace that quadruples (4x) value will multiply the value of the ore by 4 when it touches the furnace.

Cell furnaces only accept ore straight from miners (i.e. miner placed so mined ore drops directly into the cell furnace), but offer much greater multiplication values. For example, the Basic Furnace earns money at face value with no multiplication. Its equivalent tier cell furnace, the Cell Furnace, earns money with a 20x multiplication factor. Cell furnaces offer fast money in the early-game and mid-early-game at the cost of spending more money on furnaces since many cell furnaces can only accommodate 2 miners per furnace.

Upgraders
Upgraders vary greatly in size and function. Some upgraders upgrade ore at a fixed rate, while others add an element of randomness in their function. The store description of each upgrader does a good job of explaining each upgrader's function, and players should heed the information. Some upgraders will only upgrade an ore once, or will not upgrade it past a certain value. This information can be used to create an ultra-efficient system that systematically upgrades ore to its greatest potential.

Schrodinger's Evaluator is an absolutely necessary endgame item for players aiming reach rebirth, but one of great mystery. There is much debate as to its actual function; some players believe it can upgrade ore by 10x its value without limit. However, the ore is not always upgraded, and most of it is taken to another dimension and never seen again. A long chain of Evaluators can generate ores of incredible value–sometimes over a sextillion (shortened to Sx ingame) from a single ore if upgraded and collected correctly. The random but desirable nature of Schrodinger's Evaluator creates an interesting choice for players: placing more Evaluators can net more money per ore at the expense of time, and placing less Evaluators nets less money per ore, but at a more consistent rate. It's suggested through experience to use anywhere between ten and twenty Evaluators at once, in sequence.

Conveyors
Conveyors are the only reliable means of transporting ore from miners to furnaces and through upgraders along the way. A variety of different pieces are available, including ramps, corners, elevated pieces, and combination pieces, allowing the intersection of both raised and ground-level conveyors in the same tiles.

Since the provided corner pieces can only turn in one direction, players are often forced to create their own corners using conveyor pieces without walls. This generally works better than the provided corner pieces and does so in less space than the dedicated corner pieces.

Aesthetics and "Toys"
Aside from the essential items detailed above, players can decorate their tycoon with walls, special doors, statues, lights, trees, and even obtain various weaponry with which they can attack other players. They can also buy items to mess around with, such as soda machines.

Research Point Items
These are non essential items, but they can be very helpful. They take quite a lot of research points to obtain them, but it is well worth the work if you choose to get them. They vary from different items, such as conveyors, miners, and upgraders to walk speed enhancers, hp enhancers, lights, jump pads, and weapons to desire your sinister needs.

Unobtanium Crystal (uC) Shop
The uC shop has items to fit your need to become the very best player there ever was, to having the most kawaii base in the miner's world, to being the most vicious miner to sail the miner's seas! Many of the removed gamepass items have been moved to the uC shop, waiting to be purchased. Unobtanium Crystals are earned for opening you daily log in present which will grant you 1 (or 10 if you're a premium member). There are items such as weapons, decorations, scanners, miners, teleporters, and a very own zombies guardian!

Rebirth
Rebirth is only for the most dedicated and advanced players. In order to be reborn into a new life, the player must save up to $25Qn on their first life, with the price increasing by $25Qn every rebirth. Upon being reborn, players lose all bought items except for Premium items, Reborn items, and Vintage items. Their tycoon is cleared and their money is reset to the starting amount of $50. Players also retain their Research Points, meaning that players only need unlock a tier of items one time, and they will be available for purchase thereafter.

Upon entering his or her second life (first rebirth), and any subsequent rebirth, the player is awarded a random Reborn-tier item out of a pool of six special items.

Rebirth-tier Items
Rebirth Items are some of the most powerful items in Miner's Haven. There are currently six. Exact statistics are not always available, so the information provided here is not exact, but close.


 * Nature's Grip: "A compact upgrader that increases the value of un-upgraded ores under $1,000 by x25,000 and ores over $1,000 by x200,000,000. Gives 10 points per 200 ore." Regarded as the most useful Rebirth-tier item, Nature's Grip is the player's biggest money maker. A useful but perhaps little-known fact about cell furnaces is that they allow ore that is not directly dropped into it to be processed, as long as the ore was not upgraded. Schrodinger's Evaluator upgrades ore's value, but used to not actually have any effect on the upgraded state of ore; that is, ore upgraded via an Evaluator or a chain of them used to be processed at x200,000,000 value even though it was upgraded. This is now patched. Ore Cannons are the best way of getting ore into the furnace, but walls must be placed around it to prevent the ore from flying away and hitting the ground and disappearing.
 * Quantum Ore Cleaner: "Has technology gone too far? Yes, yes it has. This hacked cleaner easily quadruples the value of ore that enters. Due to the scary nature of this machine, ore can only be upgraded once by it." The Quantum Ore Cleaner sadly has little use in the current metagame, but can prove useful at the end of a conveyor system before ore is delivered to a furnace if that is the path that the player chooses to take.
 * Massive Diamond Mine: "Money buys happiness. That is fact. This giant diamond mine proves that." The Massive Diamond Mine generates ore worth $90k each, approximately every ten seconds. When coupled with Nature's Grip, the player will earn $18T per ore. This is an excellent way for players who have been reborn numerous times to start their new life.
 * Frozen Justice: "A furnace that freezes over the very matter around it. Regularly accepts ore for 6x its value. Flaming ore is processed at 18x. Gives 5 points per 90 ore." Frozen Justice is the third best furnace when flaming ore is delivered to it, with the Shrine of Penitence (1.4Q) close behind at 15x value for all ore, flaming or non-flaming.
 * Dreamer's Might: "The endless power of the human mind is one that often can't be explored. This strange furnace processes ore by subtracting $1T from the value of ore and then multiplying by 25... if anything is" The furnace gives a random amount of points from 1 to 20 per 100 ore. Pretty useless for the beginning stage, but useful for end-game.
 * Dreamer's Fright: "The dreamer's nightmare: the perfect creation - the end to creativity. The mind is powerless against its final creation. Subtracts research points and cash at random." Ores have their values changed by up to $10,000 in either direction, and they are processed at 40x.
 * Newtonium Mine: "A scary-looking mine that produces ore worth an incalculatable amount of money. Doesn't work with cell furnaces for some reason." This mine is pretty useless for end game stage, since the current end game setup requires Schrodinger Evaluators which upgrade by a random amount. This could be helpful for the beginning stage, though.
 * Tesla Resetter: "An amazing machine that removes all status effects such as radioactive and flaming from an ore and removes all tags, allowing it to go through limiting machines again. Can only be used once." This can be a very useful items in all stages of the game, if used correctly.
