Evaluation
Coal Mining Simulator: Prologue is a free standalone prologue demo released on April 21, 2022, designed to give players a taste of the full Coal Mining Simulator game. The launch post from that date was the developer's release announcement, encouraging players to download the prologue, leave feedback, and wishlist the main game. By its nature, a prologue is a self-contained promotional experience — it is not a game with an ongoing content cycle. There has been no post-launch developer communication, no DLC, and no indication of planned updates to the prologue itself. The prologue's purpose was fulfilled on its release date, and the developer's attention was directed toward the main game (Steam App 1118110). This prologue launched complete and has remained unchanged since April 21, 2022.

About this game
Welcome to the world of Coal Mining!
Start with almost nothing and get to the top - develop your mine, sell coal, buy new machines and avoid dangers in this sandbox simulator.
Coal Mining Simulator is a sandbox experience in which it's up to you to create new tunnels and pathways. Make your mine truly yours, as you go deeper and deeper in order to mine more coal.
Take control of numerous mining machines. Destroy, mine, drill, transport and blow things up - just remember to follow safety protocols and regularly maintain your equipment. Nothing works forever - if something gets broken, it's up to you to repair it.
There is no end goal in Coal Mining Simulator - you can take contracts and complete special assignments to get unique rewards or just follow your own path. The choice is yours!
Mining is a dangerous job. Avoid earthquakes or gas explosions and be prepared for anything - whatever you buy, you can very easily lose if you are not careful!
You think it's enough? Wrong! Because you can also:
-Exchange resources
-Manage your heavy equipment and expand your kingdom for more resources
-Be a master of micro and macro management in your coal kingdom
-Be the biggest and fastest coal supplier in you region
And many more!
