Story

Story acts as some kind of guide, tells you what to do and you can just read it because it is a nice story. It's progressed by accomplishing whatever task the current part of the story entails. The first task is to mine mud for the first time, for example.

 SPOILER ALERT: DO NOT READ IF YOU WANT TO PLAY THE GAME FOR YOUR SELF 

Welcome to Idle Mine: Remix!

So you have decided to start with mining. You have heard that many treasures lie down below the surface, so you can't wait to find out what you can find. Maybe you can become rich? There's you and your Auto-Mining-Device. Let's get started!

This also acts as a sort of guide. If something is unclear, look into here for reference.

Chapter 1: Welcome to ldle Mine: Remix!
Mud: You mined your first piece of Mud! Well, it's not worth a lot, but you've got to start somewhere.

 Just Some Ordinary Mud 

Even two Dollars can be a good start. Maybe you should try to mine something more precious?

_________________________________________________________________________________

PAPER:

You take your Pickaxe and proceed to hit some old homework with it (You didn't need it anymore, anyways)

Paper (Your Old Homework)

For some reason it was worth a whooping ten Dollars! It seems like you got the hang of it. Unfortunately, you also find out that it was kind of resistent to your pickaxe, so you need to craft a better one to keep growing, Luckily you have this rusty Blacksmith at home (For whatever reason). It doesn't look good enough though. You should try to Upgrade it.

HOW DO I GET GEMS?:

Every time you mine something, there's a chance you will be awarded by a Gem, used to craft Pickaxes.

STATS, STATS, STATS...:

Some General Tips: Every mineral has defense, which is an absolute reduction to click and idle damage. To find out what's the most efficient to mine, look at where the money/s and money per click are the highest. More gems/s mean that you can get gems faster to craft new Pickaxes. The base Damage of a Pickaxe is calculated by multiplying it's power with the quality for example (1,000 * 150% = 1,500). After that, Activate and Idle Power Upgrades are applied.

_________________________________________________________________________________ BLACKSMITH POWER:

Just a little improvement to your Blacksmith makes it seem stronger!

Blacksmith Power!

You should try to craft a new Pickaxe. You only need one Gem to do it! Luckily you have a few of them at home. You don't remember when you got them, there're just here for some reason. After crafting, you should try your luck with salt.

WHEN SHOULD I CRAFT?:

The power and the quality of a Pickaxe is based on Blacksmith Upgrades. Resulting the power and the quality will be random, but at least be as much as the minimum power and quality.

_________________________________________________________________________________ SALT:

You take out all your salt from your kitchen drawer, and start to hammer it with your newly crafted Pickaxe. It works surprisingly well you think.

Salt (From Your Kitchen Drawer)

Twenty-two Dollars! That sure is a lot. You could buy some games with it, or you could take it serious and invest the money into your Blacksmith.

_________________________________________________________________________________ CLAY:

You go to a nearby lake and dig some clay

Clay (Fresh From The Lake)

It's already worth Fifty Dollars! That's much more than salt. Of course it was tougher, but the reward speaks for itself. There's a cave nearby. This is where th real adventure would start. Maybe you should improve your Blacksmith a bit more to get a new Pickaxe before proceeding.

_________________________________________________________________________________

Mine a piece of stone to reach Chapter 2.

Chapter 2: The real Adventure begins!


ROCK:

Of course, the first thing you see when entering the cave is Stone and Rocks. And there is sure a lot of it. There's is so much to be mined...

Rock (From The Cave Entrance)

One-hundred-twenty Dollars! Not bad at all. You see a big growth coming. Venture deeper into the cave and mine better stuff. Don't forget to buy Upgrades and craft new Pickaxes.

OFFLINE INCOME:

For up to Six Hours. you can earn Fifty Percent of your money per second offline. You have to be offline for at least Five Minutes to be eligible of earning offline money.

_________________________________________________________________________________ Had 10,000 $ On hand:

I Got to Be Rich!

Ten thousand Dollars! That's surely more than your average wage. I think you are far enough to pay your living with it. But also, improving your mining technology is very expensive. but it will pay off very fast.

You have mined new stuff along the way like Coal, Lead, and Copper. you are starting to venture deeper into the cave. To be honest, this might be just the start. Great treasures await!

_________________________________________________________________________________ SPOOKY BONE:

You have already went down a good bit into the mine. Stuff is getting precious down there. The first abnormal minerals are appearing.

Ohhhh, Spooky!

14,000 $ for a bunch of Bones? Well, they are spooky! Even though you don't know why exactly they are...

_________________________________________________________________________________ Had 1,000,000 $ On hand:

There are multiple ways to earn a million: Winning at a quiz show, having a certian job, or, mining precious materials? Anyways, you've just reached a Million!

'Rich. For real now.'

The journey doesn't end here! Why not get even richer? The cave is seemingly endless.

_________________________________________________________________________________ EMERALD:

Precious stuff is appearing now. You are starting to see typical Gemstones: Sapphire, Ruby and Emerald. You don't know how deep you are, but this cave is the biggest you've ever seen. It just never ends and seems to get bigger the deeper you are.

Precious, and worth Millions

Are we reaching the end? Definitely not!

_________________________________________________________________________________ You earn Germs more easily now, so you got an idea: if you invest multiple Germs into a Pickaxe, it should be even better. Now you can also use 3 Germs to craft a Pickaxe, but they turn out to be much better.

Not a waste at all!

_________________________________________________________________________________

Reach Earth Essence to reach Chapter 3.

Chapter 3: Mysterious Materials
 Earth Essence: 

You don't know what it is. It has never beettn discovered before. You are probably the first who has gone so far.

What is this?

Just about 20 of these will make you the worlds richest person. Maybe the money could also be used to study and research on this mysterious material.

Along the way you discover more unknown and ultra precious things that have yet to be studied.

_________________________________________________________________________________ Fire Essence:

There it is. Another type of essence. This time it seems to be fiery and very hot.

HOT, HOT!

Now, You only need one of these to become the richest person in the world. Alternatively, you could also give every person on the world about 25$. That would be enough for some food. _________________________________________________________________________________ Mysterium:

I don't know either.

This thing is so precious that there isn't even a name for it, so lets just call it "Mysterium", because it is a mystery, after all. It will be forever mysterious and the mystery will never be solved. How mysterious is that?

_________________________________________________________________________________ Have 50T $ On hand:

Richer than Rich

That sure is a lot of money. Maybe it is enough to buy the Moon?

_________________________________________________________________________________ Light Essence:

Enlighten!

"Yet another essence found. This one glows a lot and is even bright, so bright that few of them can light up an entire city."

You still have no idea where the end is, you look down into a colorful cluster of minerals, shining in many different colors.

_________________________________________________________________________________ Hellstone (Lv.1):

After passing several huge mineral clusters, and feeling like going down for many kilometers, you start to feel the heat of the air down here. It is still very bearable though. A few dozen meters later, a sudden change happens.

Is this hell?

These Minerals are completely different. They are very hot, don't glow at all and don't look beautiful either. On the other hand, they are worth a ton of money and you feel like you've hit the end. But did you?

_________________________________________________________________________________ Hellstone (Lv.666):

The Hellstone is getting darker and darker, harder and harder to break; an end seems to be near. Suddenly, the cave ends. The ground is filled with even more demonic Hellstone. They are nearly pitch black and seem unbreakable. You need a very good Pickaxe now.

'Unbreakable? I doubt that!'

Let's get a good Pickaxe, mine this and find out more! Maybe we did it?

_________________________________________________________________________________ Reach Infinitum to reach Chapter 4.

Chapter 4: It's NOT over
Infinitum:

'To Infinity. And beyond!'

After breaking the last hellstone, a small hole opens up below it. You didn't reach the end of the wave. There was just a wall of Hellstone...

By now you have probably accepted that this cave is endless and will never end, which in return means that you will become so rich that nobody can believe it.

_________________________________________________________________________________  THE GEMS: 

' It's not just a Gem! '

It is really crazy down here. Those minerals don't event fit into the real world anymore. This just feels like another realm. You notice that progressing seems to get harder and harder...

Suddenly you see light at the end of the Tunnel. A really huge Gem. Breaking it would give you insights you couldn't think of before. Something to speed of progress a lot.

_________________________________________________________________________________

After break THE GEM.

_________________________________________________________________________________ You instantly feel a wave of wisdom streaming into your body...

That's it! Why should only money be invested into Upgrades? Why don't we do that with gems?

 You are of much use now 

With gems, you can now improve your blacksmith, the Auto-Mining-Device, and find even more gems! Infinite Growth awaits!

_________________________________________________________________________________  Fractalium: 

You are in another realm. High amounts of energy and light, inverted minerals and holograms. The values of these objects are tremendous. Even one of them means infinite wealth. Now, you make an even crazier discovery.

 $$z_{n+1}=z_n^2+c$$ 

A fractal. Infinite amount of complexity, yet so simple to describe. 150 No $ are enough to buy a white dwarf, an Earth-sized ball of compressed carbon (a diamond!).

_________________________________________________________________________________

Reach THE PORTAL to reach Chapter 5.

Chapter 5: New Dimensions
 THE PORTAL 

It all shrinks down to just a small portal, about 2 Meters in diameter, glowing in a mysterious reddish pink. Breaking it would reveal more....

 T̵̥͌o̴̖͌̂ ̶̤̝̑̓O̵̰̳͗t̶͙́h̸͍̀e̶̡̹͆ṙ̷͚ ̴̭̀d̷̰̝̎i̵͙̲͒̐m̶̜̈́̾e̶̞̋͘n̷̪̰͋͑s̴͈̅͂i̶̪̇o̷̤͊n̶̙͍̽s̶̞̊͒ ̷͉̞͊̚a̸̡̭͛n̸̘̯̊d̵͈̉̉ ̷̼̓̋R̵̭̺̃͝e̵͎̔͛a̸͓̍l̸̮̯͋m̴͚̬̽̾ś̸̜͎͒!̶̗̾̀ 

It is very tough to break, nearly invincible. You need a very strong pickaxe. Now, upgrade your Blacksmith, invest money and gems, and make a very powerful pickaxe to break through!

_________________________________________________________________________________

After break through THE PORTAL

_________________________________________________________________________________

The Portal slows drags you in. The air seems to become colder. Everything around you seems to dim, until you just seem to be surrounded by darkness. You stay calm. You are prepared and think you know what will happen next. Suddenly, you hear something, very far in the background.

 ,,I waited for you" 

Were you chosen to be a miner? Does that explain why you had a blacksmith and leftover gems at home? You are starting to understand. You were allowed to find out about the infinite riches of the underground.

_________________________________________________________________________________  Ubxelyamium Orb: 

It's been a while, you still dig down (and the numbers grow, just as expected). There is no end in sight, but that is actually good. Those mineral names are weird, they make no sense. No wonder why this is the "procedural realm" but is it infinite?

 Just procedural, like all the ohter stuff 

_________________________________________________________________________________ PORTAL TO SPACE:

Aren't procedural realms infinite? Well, this one isn't. It closes down yet again. This portal is blueish, and when you look through it, you just see stars and galaxies.

SPAAAAACE!

It's a portal to space. There's a little spaceship standing besides the portal, it must have the mining god you heard lately (he waited for you, after all). This portal is tough yet again, but not so resistant. Make a pickaxe and open this thing!

_________________________________________________________________________________

Open the space portal or break through the space portal to reach Chapter 6.

Chapter 6: Gone to Space
Tiny Asteroid:

You enter the spaceship, and fly straight through the portal. In the far distance you can see the sun, and you see many asteroids flying around you. You are actually in the asteroid belt, that's not so far away (astronomically speaking). Well, it's time to mine asteroids.

Welcome to the Asteroid belt!

_________________________________________________________________________________ Mine a planet coin:

As this object breaks, something pops out of it... what is this? It is a new type of resource, a planet coin.

New Opportunities to Upgrade!

Check out the new Upgrades, it will surely be worth it!

_________________________________________________________________________________ (After mine a Pluto)

Pluto:

You did it! You mined a planet! Mph, it's just a dwarf planet, but it was a real planet until 2006.

Almost a planet

Why do objects keep reappearing here after you mined them? It seems like to universe of Idle Mine: Remix says no to several laws of physics.

_________________________________________________________________________________ (After mine the moon)

The moon:

You just mined the Moon! luckily it is reappearing every time you mine it... Our moon is one of the biggest moons in the solar system, you've gotten pretty far.

Man in the Moon

_________________________________________________________________________________ Mars:

Mars is one of our nearest planets that may be colonized in the nearer future. If Mars is close to the Earth you can see it as a bright reddish dot in the sky.

Is there life on Mars?

_________________________________________________________________________________ Venus:

Venus is the planet that can get the closest to Earth, although it is in front of the Sun at that point. Venus gets so big on the sky that you can almost see its phase with the naked eye. Also, with a maximum apparent magnitude of about -4.6, it really stands out in the sky and might even be visible during the day with a great eyesight!

The evening star

_________________________________________________________________________________ Saturn:

Saturn is the secong biggest planet in the solar system.

Largest Ring System

It also has the biggest ring system that can easily be seen through the telescope. Sadly, it is going to disappear over the next hundreds of million years.

_________________________________________________________________________________ Jupiter:

Finally, Jupiter is the largest planet in the solar system. You already mined the moons before, but now you get to the real planet.

Largest Planet of the Solar System

Jupiter has over 70 known moons, having diameters ranging from just a few kilometers to over 5000 kilometers (Ganymede). Now, it is time to exit our solar system. Time to mine exoplanets!

_________________________________________________________________________________ WASP-79 b:

WASP-79 b is one of the largest exoplanets ever discovered. It is about twice as big as Jupiter, which translates to a diameter of over 250,000 kilometers.

Largest Planet

In the universe, planets cannot become much larger than that because the immense mass and pressure in the core would start a nuclear fusion, which means that it would become a star. But in this game physics are... different. We can go further.

There's an infinite amount of exoplanets to discover!

_________________________________________________________________________________

Reach Hyper-Saturn to reach Chapter 7.

Chapter 7: Hyperplanets
Hyper-Saturn

Ever seen a saturn-like planet with a diameter of million of kilometers? Well, it's impossible in our universe, but here it isn't... If you replaced Saturn with this, you would probably clearly see the glowing rings in a clear night with your naked eye.

 Saturn, but around 100X larger 

_________________________________________________________________________________ This planet, similar to earth, has a diameter of about 120,000,000 kilometers. That means that, if replaced with the sun, would sterch out to around mercuries orbit.

 Much space for humans 

Superearth would be big enough to house trillions of people. Game Servers can't be worldwide because off extreme lag :(( no information can travel faster than the speed of light). Also, imagine a YouTuber with over 100 billion subscribers :D

_________________________________________________________________________________ You feel like you're getting to very huge planets now. They are just immense... Now lookat these diameters:

 400,000,000 km 

Colossia: If you replaced Saturn with this planet, it would appear much larger than our moon on the sky. It would break our solar system due to its extreme gravitational force.

_________________________________________________________________________________  2,400,000,000 km 

Giagantia: Replaced with our sun, this planet would stretch out to Saturn's orbit. It is also nearly as big as the largest known star: UY Scuti.

_________________________________________________________________________________  20,000,000,000 km 

Garagantula: Replaced with our sun, this planet would stretch out well beyond Pluto's orbit.

_________________________________________________________________________________  150,000,000,000 km 

Giagarantula Omega: It's diameter is about 100th of a light uear. That means any signal would need over 10 days to get redirected to the other side of planet.

_________________________________________________________________________________

After break through Giagarantula Omega.

_________________________________________________________________________________

Phew, that was a big one. A million times bigger than Jupiter. Theoretically, a planet this big would have collapsed into a extremely massive black hole. But, in the end, you did it. ' The biggest Planet(?) broken! '

Wait! This is not the end. Let's explore the infiniteness of the Universe. There are many more planets to mine...

...in this Universe. And it seems to get boring. Those planets are just getting better and with arbitrary names. Why are we not just mining Stars? Are they too hot? Possibly. Get stronger and stronger, and soon Stars should be no problem anymore.

Chapter 8: The Wisdon Era
Wait, what is this!? While chilling and moving through the vacuum, you see a rock flying by, a few meters in size. What were the chances? It is very blue (blue-er than blue!) and the closer you get, the smarter you feel.

' You have to mine it. '

Who knows what will happen when you mine? Remember what happened when you broke THE GEM? You will probably get even stronger after mining this stone.

_________________________________________________________________________________

After break through ESSENCE OF WIDSOM.

_________________________________________________________________________________

Wisdom streams out of the stone. You cannot see it, but you feel getting smarter every second.

You got an idea: if you get smarter, you cant find out how to do more damage. With more damage you can get smarter faster. Time to synergize!

You found how to mine stars, let's go!

_________________________________________________________________________________ Congratulations, you mined your first star! Even though they're not solid, it was really challenging. The extreme heat made mining it vert tough.

' Basically just a Ball'o Hydrogen. '

What's next? Of course, mining bigger Stars!

_________________________________________________________________________________Upgrade a first Wisdom Upgrade.

Finally, the wisdom is put to good use. Becoming smarter and doing more damage with every click, how awesome is thar?

' Smarter -> Stronger -> Smarter -> ... '

There are even more upgrades regarding wisdom. Numbers will only grow faster now!

_________________________________________________________________________________ You mined our sun... well, since were in the Idle Mine: Remix realm. the Sun reappeared the moment you mined it, so no worries!

 Giver of Life 

_________________________________________________________________________________ Polaris was and is used to orient in the Night Sky. It always points toward north. Also, i is one of the brightest stars in the Night Sky.

 50x bigger than our Sun 

_________________________________________________________________________________ Betelgeuse is around 500x as large as our Sun, and it is over 600 light years away. Early this year it has gained attention because it quickly lost luminosity, which possibly meant that Betelgeuse wold go supernova, creating a Nebula as bright as the full moon, lasting for several months.

 SPOILER: It didn't explode 

_________________________________________________________________________________

After mine a UY Scuti UY Scuti is the largest Star discovered in the Universe, even larger the VY Canis Majoris.

(Insert UY Scuti)  <-The Largest 

Chapter 9: Cosmic Superstructures
Now we're talking! Since you mined the biggest star, the next option is to mine several stars at once! Let's go mine even more stars, at once, and let's see how far it can go!

_________________________________________________________________________________ An entire galaxy. Over 20,000 y in diameter and billions of stars. You just mined that. You are now stronger than the most massive black hole.

' More Stars than you can count! '

_________________________________________________________________________________ You mined our Galaxy. Don't worry our Milky Way also reappears the moment you mine it. The Milky way has a diameter of about 100,000 Ly and has over 100 billion stars. Our Sun is just one of them.

 Our true home 

_________________________________________________________________________________ After mining several Galaxies, you're doing the next step like you did before. Now you mine several Galxies at once. First up: The Local Group.

' It contains the Milky Way and the Andromeda. '

At that point, one must think how it even is possible to mine something that is over 10 Million Light years large. It seems like your Pickaxe acts like a black hole now, just... a bit different.

_________________________________________________________________________________ What comes after Galaxy Groups? Correct: Galaxy Clusters. They contain even more Galaxies, but they don't pose a problem to you.

 Like a Galaxy Group Group 

_________________________________________________________________________________ What comes after Galaxy Clusters? Correct: Galaxy Superclusters. (does that sentence seem familiar?)

 Like a Galaxy Group Group Group 

_________________________________________________________________________________ Filaments are huge structures, around a Billion Light Years large, containing millions of galaxies (if not even billion!). Are we gonna mine the entire Universe soon?

' Almost there! '

_________________________________________________________________________________ You are mining Filaments with ease now, and it becomes clear what is next: mining the ENTIRE Universe. It has really come this far... Increase your damage with wisdom, buy some Gem Upgrades, and finish if off! Don't worry, our Universe will reappear after mining it.

 Everything we know, everything we have. 

_________________________________________________________________________________ You mine the very fabric that our Universe has. You eat it yp from the inside. You mine trillions of planets and billions of Galaxies at once, every second. The Universe shrinks, the heat this generates makes it glow. Suddenly, it's gone. For a short moment, youu see colorful dots around you.

 Our Universe is not the only one... 

The Universe pops back up as nothing has happened. You are now beyond anything humanity can describe. You just mined that entire Universe as if it was nothing.

_________________________________________________________________________________

 Conclusion 

Thanks for playing my game! This marks the end of the story. Your task now is to further explore the Multiverse, filled with an infinite amount of new Universe to mine.

I wonder how far the numbers can go! Through the Gem Upgrades, progress should always be possible, and a progress wall should be very far away. Can you reach 180 UCe $? Nah, your wisdom should make it even faster... can you reach 1 DcQe $? That's 4 Infinities!

This doesn't mean it's the end forever. I could add new content in the future to extend the story. Anyways, I hope you had fun playing :)
