Interlocked resource branches: agriculture, industry and population, each one depends and empowers the other;
Elaborate prestige system which allows you to select which aspect of the game boost the most (and you can change your mind and try a different strategy on the next run);

The current game rating on various platforms is around 4.4 - 4.8 after thousands reviews, so we hope you will enjoy the idle farming and resource mining, too. Have fun!
We are so happy to be selected for the Class 0f 2024 at Google Play's Indie Games Accelerator with our Farm and Mine game! We are going to work for the next four months to bring new aspects to the game, such as international trade, skyscrapers building, additional production chains, together with overall interface and stability improvements.
Friends, 2 years ago Russia launched a full-scale invasion against our country, Ukraine. It committed so many war crimes that it proved to be a real terrorist state.
When the invasion began many game development communities and companies declared that their values align with freedom, rights, life, and supported Ukrainian defenders, who are protecting these exact values against the Russian invasion.
The messages "We stand with Ukraine" were so heartwarming and supported the spirit of Ukrainians who in winter 2022 amidst the explosions and air raids had to find ways to survive and protect others.
When Russia attacked Ukraine on Feb 24 2022 the world was shocked. But isn't it a much bigger shock that attacks continue for over 2 years?
Now, after 730 days, Ukraine stands, and people like us can live, only thanks to the defense of the Ukrainian defense forces. We are thankful to all our friends from the whole world who provide Ukraine with the vital supplies.
Within the recent months we see that pro-terrorussian forces are doing everything they can to delay the delivery of these lifesaving supplies. Therefore we address you, players of our games, common people like us, with a request to further support Ukrainian defenders.
Airapport games such asFarm and MineandIdle Tower Buildergathered international community: as of Nov 2023 there are over 19000 members on the games' Discord server.
To make it easier for the players who speak different languages to play the games the translation engine is included. Most of the initial translations were made automatically, but many players suggested to help with the texts improvement.
To make it easier to improve the current translations and to add new languages we created a special Github repository: Airapport Community Translations. This repository contains language files which can be edited and placed into the game's data\translations\ folder, and your changes will appear in the game at once. These files are compatible with Farm and Mine v.1.2.5 or higher and with Idle Tower Builder v.1.4.11 or higher.
How to make fixes in one of the current game languages
This repository contains 2 folders: trans/farm - with the language files for Farm and Mine and trans/tower - with the language files for Idle Tower Builder. These are json files which can be edited with any text editor. The section "phrases" of a language file contains pairs "key":"value" for the translated text. For convenience these pairs are grouped by their meaning: "general interface", "buildings", "inventions", etc. You can corrent any translation or tranlate the terms in "untranslated" groups.
Once done, please, save the file. To test your translation, please, use the Itch version of the corresponding game, and place the updated language file to the data\translations\ folder.
To let other players use your translation, please, update the file in the repository and make a pull request. Don't forget to fill in the "lang_translator" value so that we will thank you in the game!
How to add new language
Copy en.json file under another name. Fill in the "lang_code" and "lang_selfname" fields to identify new language. Add your information as "lang_translator" and tell about the state of the translation in "lang_translation_comment". And finally, change all the English texts from the keys into the desired language.
Test the translation on your game copy by placing the new file to data\translations\ folder, and once everything is ready, please, submit the new file to this repository to make it available for other players, and to be included into the mobile updates of the Airapport games, too

Friends, thank you for your support for our defenders! Please, keep doing this as today is the 627th day of the full-scale terrorussian invasion. Our work is often interrupted by the air raid alerts, but we can keep going thanks to the protection of the Ukrainian defenders and help from our friends from the whole world. Let's keep supporting Ukrainian volunteers, such as O-Pocketwho gather funds for the vital supplies for the survival of Ukrainians.
We will win together!
The first lines of Farm in Mine were written 2.5 years ago at the Ludum Dare 48 game jam. The theme was "Deeper and Deeper" and it gave an idea of a game where the player first digs potatoes and then reaches coal, iron, oil and other natural deposits.
Since then the game is updated with new content, concepts and convenience improvements. In its current state there are 52 work facilities, 28 professions, 51 inventions, 6 cats, 8 permanent prestige upgrades. Here is a teaser of a fully unlocked farm:
Many ideas from the newest update were suggested by the viewers of my livestream. During the whole September we were running a streaming marathon where we played Farm and Mine for 30-60 minutes every day. During the streams we shared strategy advice, answer questions and discuss plans for the future. Totally the streaming marathon took 19 hours and consists of 38 series.
This experience helped us spot and fix various gameplay issues. Sometimes we even did programming right on the stream.
The biggest issue spotted was a difficulty to regain progress after a midgame restart. The commonly used strategy to do it was the following: wait till the game offers you a daily reward, but don't use this reward right aways. Instead, restart, gain prestige points, and after this get a daily reward (which might be coins or ideas). This tactic helps to regain progress after a restart, but the restarts were limited by the availability and the value of the daily bonus.
So to make the players restart easier we added 2 new facilities: Bank and Library. The corresponding inventions for them are unlocked after the inventions Economy(2) and Science(1).
Once constructed, these building start generate coins and ideas. But not for immediate use. Instead, these resources will be available for use only after your restart the game. So, once you construct Bank and Library you'll be able to restart at a time which is the most convenient for you.
Among other improvements the update 1.2.2 brings are:
It's possible to roll back all Workforce upgrades at once
Inventions button is on the main screen
It's possible to clear earning statistics, to let you easier spot the current best earning facility
Formula for the prestige gain is adjusted (earlier it had slight discrepancies due to float numbers)
Issue with the Steam Engine stopping over time was partly fixed: now it's possible to manually stop the conveyor belt which transports coal away from the engine
The game is available for Windows, Linux, Android and iOS.
As we live in Ukraine, we never forget that we can keep creating games only thanks to the protection of the Ukrainian Defense Forces and the help from our friends worldwide. Ukraine is withstanding the terrorussians' attacks for over 600 days now. Please, keep supporting volunteers' initiatives such as O-Pocket Foundation (https://o-pocket.org/). This is a fund organized by the game developers from Kharkiv, the city in the East of the country. They provide the Ukrainian defenders with the necessary supplies.
These days we are running a streaming marathon playing my Farm and Mine idle city building and resource management tycoon. On the todays stream I'm going to share the bonus codes for Airapport games such as Engineer Millionaire, Steampunk Idle Spinner, Idle Tower Builder and others. You are welcome to join!
We never forget that we can keep developing games and play with you only because the Ukrainian defense forces are protecting us.
We keep asking all our friends from the whole world, please, keep supporting Ukraine. You can do this via UNITED24 https://u24.gov.ua/, which is President Zelenskyy's initiative. You can select which direction to support: defense, humanitarian demining, medical aid, rebuild Ukraine or education and science.
