Miner's haven is a tycoon game developed by Berezaa. It has over 152.4 million visits and 410k likes and 82k dislikes. It was first launched on 6/12/2015. The game sandbox tycoon where players place contraptions, conveyor belts and mines in their base. These mines drop ores that must be smelted into furnaces and their value can be upgraded with upgrader machines. These machines have wildy different functions on how they upgrade ores. Ores can be smelted to gain funds which in turn can buy more machines and mines.

Why it rocks:

 * 1) It has a unique twist compared to tycoon games in which you place buildings instead of activating buttons that build for you. You can start your own way instead of having to follow a set path to progress.
 * 2) Thousands of items with their own unique perks. Mines that create ores
 * 3) Some upgraders require specific setups and ore conditions to make them work properly An example is an Ore magnifier which can only upgrade ores that haven't been upgraded. This encourages planning out your layout and finding the way to get the most ore value.
 * 4) There is a rebirth mechanic in which if you gain a certain amount of money, you'll be able to rebirth which means gaining a new high tier item in exchange for removing everything from your inventory. These items are rebirth proof and will not vanish upon another rebirth. This helps a lot for gaining wealth much faster to obtain better items.
 * 5) You can exchange these higher tier items for a more premium item by going to the craftsman who sells these.
 * 6) There are loot crates but they are dropped occasionally from the sky (more frequent when its night on the map) and you must explore the map to obtain them. In these boxes are premium items, higher quality droppers and machines and decorations items not in the shop.
 * 7) You are able to make money while you're away from the game.
 * 8) Every weekends, a Masked man appears in a random location (hard to reach usually) who can give out premium tier machines for expensive prices but are worth their cost.
 * 9) Lots of updates on content and events on occasion.
 * 10) Includes a solo map which may be used if its laggy to play or if you don't want to be disturbed by other players.

Bad qualities:

 * 1) Unless you have an infuser that boosts speed, navigating around the map will be slow.
 * 2) The game can be laggy with too many contraptions and for weaker computers.
 * 3) Sometimes Pvpers can prevent your exploration by killing you outside your base. There is no other way to enable a "safe mode" when outside your claim. The only way to not get pvp killed is to be in a solo map.
