| Cased & Coiled Update + Translations! | 2026-06-20 | The Cased & Coiled Update is out now!This update includes 2 new main processing machines, elevators, unpackager, improvements to boxes, and translations to 10 languages.Casing PressScrap accumulates as casings are created. When the machine is full, it will eject a Scrap Cube, which can be sold directly or recycled in a furnace.Wire CoilerStretches out Rods and links them together to make a Wire Coil. Unlike the Threading Lathe, this machine is quite fast.ElevatorsWe added two new elevators! These were pretty tricky to design because we want to keep everything in the game using real physics.The first is the Screw Conveyor. It uses an Archimede |

| Steam Sale + Demo Update + Upcoming Sandbox Mode! | 2026-03-19 | MineMogul has a 20% discount this week during the Steam Spring Sale!We've also updated the Demo. It's now up to date with the latest full version of the game, and you can continue playing any (new) demo save files when upgrading to the full game. Previously, it was on a SUPER old version, and was missing basic things like rebindable keys.Sandbox ModeWe started working on a new sandbox gamemode.In this gamemode, everything is free and unlocked right away. There aren't any quests, it's mainly for playing around and testing things. We already had some of these tools for testing things during development, so we thought it'd be nice to give them t |
| Age of Steel bugfix & Improved Jackhammer Update | 2026-02-12 | Jackhammer updateThe Jackhammer is now able to break whole ore into crushed pieces! Very useful when setting up sorter baskets! (However, the sounds and animations remain unchanged and are still placeholder)Physics FixesWe fixed a number of issues where physics objects would phase through things, especially with high velocity.It's a difficult thing to balance, because we want to have the fastest possible physics simulation to keep the FPS as high as possible, but having it so fast results in some issues at high speeds.In this version, I made it so the Bottom Chute, Angled Chute, Splitter Chute, and Cannon will temporarily enable higher qualit |
| The Age of Steel Update | 2026-02-06 | The Age of Steel update is out now!MineMogul's biggest update yet is out now! Go play or read ahead if you want spoilers:New MapWe've added a whole new map to the game! This is a new option available when starting a new game.It's got much bigger spaces compared to the original map. There's lots of space to build freely without large pillars in the middle of the room.Casting Furnace & SteelWe've added a new large Casting Furnace with interchangeable molds (Ingot, Gear, or Double Ingot).It can either be used to make the new Steel resource if you add coal to the side, or it can be used as an upgraded Tier2 version of the Blast Furnace.Heavy Auto |
| MineMogul's biggest update is almost here! | 2026-02-04 | We're almost finished with the first of many HUGE updates for MineMogul!It roughly doubles the amount of content in the game and adds a new map:Main FeaturesNew Casting FurnaceNew Steel resourceNew Larger map (option when creating a new game)New Heavy Auto-MinerNew ULTIMATE TIER roller splitter with a true 50/50 split and no spillingNew buildable wallsNew Ore Clusters & GeodesNew ProductsNew QuestsNew machines & conveyor piecesImprovements to building system, including ability to place scaffolding partially inside the terrain/cave wallsReworks/expansions to the existing cave mapA LOT MOREWe've also updated the existing map and added new areas |
| Buffed Packaging Machine & Small Bug Fix Update | 2026-01-16 | 5% Sell Price Bonus to Packaged ItemsWe originally planned the Packaging Machine to be used for a Contracts system. You could still buy it in the game, but it didn't really do anything. Now, it gives a 5% sell price bonus for all items packaged in boxes! The Packaging Machine is still in the "Dev Test" section, however.We'd still like to add a Contracts system in the future. But it would come later, after this next upcoming major update.Audio Improvements 2The previous updated fixed audio for some users, but broke it for others.In this update, I made a new system for playing sounds based on how close they are to the player. This should work m |
| Improved Polishing Machine & Small QOL Update | 2026-01-09 | Improved Polishing MachinePreviously when the polishing machine got dirty, it just became dirty looking, but it didn't make a sound or play a different animation. It was really easy to completely miss the fact that the Polishing Machine could get dirty. This resulted in a lot of people being confused and thinking it was bugged.Now, when the Polishing Machine becomes dirty, it plays a new animation, the brushes completely stop spinning, and it plays an annoying beeping sound.The Polishing Machine has also been updated to use a generic input instead of a regular conveyor input. Previously it didn't connect to rolling conveyors without using a l |
| Walled Merging Conveyor small update | 2026-01-02 | Waller Merging ConveyorYou asked for it, and now it's here! Slightly Improved FPSI found another potential FPS improvement with conveyor belt sounds. FPS is now slightly higher in some cases while standing in the middle of large factories with lots of conveyors. I also found another unused setting that was lowering fps ("Generate OnTriggerStay Events"). Please let me know if you see improved FPS with this update!Goodbye SantaHo! Ho! Ho! The large man has left.Error MessagesNow when the game has an error, it will pause the game and show a full-screen error message.If you see one of these, please take a screenshot and send it to us along with a |
| No more clogging update | 2025-12-26 | Unclogged Bulk SorterIn the previous update, we made it so the Vertical Bulk Sorter would flush items down the center if it got clogged.This was really confusing, so we removed it, and made it so the bulk sorter can't get clogged.Previously, all the objects passing through the bulk sorter still had real physics collisions with everything else inside it. So, if two objects were trying to go in opposite directions at the same time, there was chance they could get stuck and cause the machine to clog.In this update, objects going in different directions no longer have any collisions with each other. This fixes clogging entirely (unless you try to |
| Smart Splitter, Bigger Inventory, & Cloud Saving Update! | 2025-12-24 | Smart SplitterThe "Conveyor Splitter Tier 2" has been reworked into the new "Smart Splitter Conveyor"It has a sensor, and will only change directions when objects pass through them. This results in a nice 50/50 split when you have a low amount of objects running through them, like 1 or 2 blast furnace's worth of ingots.Also, the arm speed has been reduced to hopefully prevent larger objects from getting knocked off the belt.New Merging ConveyorThe T-Junction has it's merging capability REMOVED, and added to the new "Merging Conveyor" (previously Straight Merge Conveyor). There's also a new 3 to 1 merger variation. You can cycle through the me |
| Santa's Wrench & Keybinds update. HO! HO! HO! | 2025-12-16 | Key BindsRebindable keys are here for keyboard & mouse controls!Note: There may be a few spots in-game where the UI still shows the original key bindings (for example, on the Magnet Tool's screen). Please let us know if you see any other spots where this happens, so we can fix them!The game doesn't have controller support yet, that would come in a later update.HO! HO! HO!Ho! Ho! Ho! Merry Shaftmas!Santa has come to the mine shaft and delivered some special holiday items and a present reskin for the Packager Machine boxes!Building Supports WrenchA new wrench tool to remove/add support pillars.Note: It doesn't work with some things like scaffol |

It's large, but it can handle a lot of incoming resources. It has a main passthrough output and two filtered outputs.Shaker TableThe first of potentially many uses for coal. This machine inputs coal, and has a chance to produce Diamonds or the new Ruby GemNew Rapid Auto-Miner Drill BitsThere are two new drill bit types for the Rapid Auto-MinerTur |
| The "No more lost" Update | 2025-12-07 | Lost in the caveIt was pretty easy to get lost in the cave before. There's no map or compass or anything to help with navigation. So, we added these new Arrow Sign Posts as a cheap default unlock. You can also write text on themBetter Rapid Auto-MinerThe Rapid Auto-Miner was about twice as fast as the regular Auto-Miner, but it has a variable speed, so it's hard to tell. Sometimes it's slower, but usually it was faster. However, it seemed really underpowered.It's been updated to produce ore faster, and the Drill Bit now lasts 10 minutes instead of 7.5We want to improve this more in the future. We'll make it easier to tell how much time is rem |
| Faster Sorters | 2025-12-06 | We made the sorters fasterThe sorter speed was based roughly on how fast it takes items to travel on the conveyor belts in a single file line. I didn't think it would be possible to make it any faster without causing weird physics interactions, but it worked!We might also be adding a new Tier 2 sorter in the near future 😉Version 0.1.0.2 released: Increased sorter speed from an average of 2 per seconds up to 2.5 per second (depends on the size of the object)Fixed ore getting stuck in the sorter randomly and not passing throughFixed resources always counting towards the first quest with that requirement, even if that requirement is already com |

| Release Date - December 4 2025 + Roadmap | 2025-11-13 | RELEASE DATE:The planned Early Access release date is December 4th, 2025. Roadmap:This isn't exactly a "roadmap", but it outlines what we have planned for the immediate future. After doing most these, then we'll start to think about bigger updates, like maybe sulfur, or fluids, or minecarts, etc.Bigger Cave:We've updated the cave for the Early Access version. The main starting room is now bigger!There are many new places to explore and areas to build in.Quest Tree:I like the simplicity of the linear quests at the start of the demo. It serves as a nice tutorial & introduction to the main game loop. But with all the new stuff we're adding, it m |
