Gameplay overview

Ore-delivery loops

Every run begins with a small rail yard and a hungry depot. Ride continuous laps, gather ore clusters scattered along the track, and return hauls to expand workshops, refineries, and station upgrades. New neighborhoods open as profits roll in, layering more junctions, hazards, and bonuses onto the circuit.

Train Miner keeps the action quick: each delivery shortens upgrade timers, lets you deploy additional wagons, and unlocks boosters like magnets and turbo track segments. Balancing route efficiency with timely investments is the key to keeping the economy humming.

Controls & interface

Keep the rails aligned

  • Arrow keys / WASD: Steer the locomotive at junctions when playing on keyboard.
  • Tap or click switches: Rotate rail pieces to redirect the train on desktop and touch screens.
  • Space / Boost button: Trigger unlocked power-ups such as turbo bursts or magnets.
  • P: Pause the action and toggle audio.

Tips

Deliver faster hauls

  • Prioritize wagon and engine upgrades early—they multiply every lap’s payout.
  • Queue junction changes ahead of time so the locomotive stays on profitable loops.
  • Invest in depot automation to keep unloading quick while you scout new branches.
  • Watch for optional contracts that reward completing deliveries without collisions.
