Mining Simulator: Like My Timber Pets?

How the original Mining Simulator compares for players who enjoy the earn-and-upgrade loop in My Timber Pets.

Verified September 9, 2026

Quick answer

Mining Simulator is the earlier Roblox mining sim that pairs digging ores with pet eggs, sharing the earn-upgrade beat and pet rolls of My Timber Pets with a mining theme.

The overlap

Both games reward an earn-and-upgrade beat: gather a resource, sell it, then spend on better gear and pets. Mining Simulator uses ores; My Timber Pets uses timber.

What is different

  • Mining Simulator leads with digging and selling ores rather than chopping wood.
  • It also opens pet eggs, so the pet layer is present.
  • My Timber Pets keeps a tighter timber tycoon and idle cash focus.

Who should try it

If the upgrade loop is what you like but you want a mining theme, the original Mining Simulator is where the format started. Search 'Mining Simulator' on Roblox to open the official experience.

Source standard

Official Roblox metadata and creator-owned descriptions take priority. Exact values remain marked unverified until they can be reproduced in the current public build.
