Mega Miners

Mega Miners is a cooperative vehicle-based mining simulation by Tokaisho, originally created in October 2009 and still actively developed as of April 2026 - making it one of the oldest continuously maintained games on Roblox. With over 109 million visits and 17+ years of development, it is a beloved classic where players drive heavy equipment through procedurally carved caverns to collect gems and minerals.

The core loop is hands-on and vehicle-driven: choose a machine, descend into the mine, dig through terrain to collect resources, and bring them to the surface or to the rock grinder for refining and sale. What makes Mega Miners distinct is the breadth of its vehicle roster and the environmental events that break up the mining rhythm:

• 🚗 Drive dump trucks, excavators, drillers, trains, and loaders - each suited to different mining tasks
• 💎 Deeper caverns contain rarer, more valuable minerals worth significantly more per haul
• ⚔️ Earthquakes trigger lava flows that force immediate evacuation - a tension mechanic in an otherwise meditative game
• 🗺️ Dinosaur bones and hidden treasures are scattered through caverns for exploration rewards
• 💼 A search-and-rescue mode lets players collect stranded workers before lava or flooding claims them
• 💰 Joining the Pinewood Builders group unlocks bonus gem earnings and access to the large excavator

Resources transported via haul trucks and trains to the giant rock grinder on the surface are crushed and refined for maximum sale value. Cash earned at the store funds vehicle upgrades and access to premium machines like the Killer Excavator - a fast, powerful excavator with combat-capable mining arms.

Mega Miners sits in rare company as a Roblox game that has maintained an active playerbase across nearly two decades. If you enjoy vehicle-based sandbox experiences with depth and longevity, it is one of the genre's defining titles.
