Mining & Forge in Forest Market

Mining and the forge are mid-game side engines in Forest Market (Pasar Hutan), Project Dukun’s Roblox farm-to-shop tycoon. Released 21 June 2026 and formerly known as Pasar Setan / Devil’s Market, the experience still revolves around crops, cooking, and shelves on servers with up to 12 players. Ore work sits beside that loop — not above it.

If you are still drying plots or staring at empty displays, finish Getting Started and lock the farming loop first. This guide assumes your pasar already sells something every water cycle.

Why mining and forge matter mid-game

Early coins should buy seeds, kitchen access, and shelf capacity. Once those print reliably, mining and forge fill three gaps:

1. Burst cash when crop timers leave you idle
2. Upgrade fuel for facilities that raw staples alone climb slowly
3. Co-op filler so a runner stays busy while the farmer and chef own the core loop

They do not replace cooked meals on shelves. Treat ore as a second wallet that tops up the first. Players who abandon restocks for caves return to a silent shop and wonder why upgrades stalled — that failure mode is covered again under stocking the shop and the broader money methods guide.

Tools: buy, maintain, repair

Before you swing at nodes, confirm you own a working mining tool from the in-game vendor or unlock path Project Dukun exposes after early progression. Practical habits:

• Buy the cheapest functional tool that can clear starter nodes — do not skip tiers into vanity picks while shelves starve
• Watch durability / condition indicators after each route; broken tools waste travel time
• Repair on a schedule that matches your farm cadence (for example after every second harvest pass) so you never walk to a node empty-handed
• Budget repair costs like seed restocks: if repairs bankrupt you, you unlocked mining too early

Tool upgrades matter when clear time, not motivation, is the bottleneck. A flashy pick that leaves crops thirsty is a net loss.

The ore and node loop

A clean mining session looks like this:

1. Confirm shelves are stocked and plots are watered
2. Equip a repaired tool
3. Hit known ore nodes on a short circuit near your base when possible
4. Fill inventory with ores without overpacking past what the forge can digest
5. Return before the next water alarm
6. Feed the forge (next section) or bank surplus for a later claim

Node locations and ore names can shift after patches — always re-scout after reading Updates. On crowded public servers, call your route in chat so friends do not collide on the same rock, and never assume shared nodes respect private ownership without testing.

Foraging sometimes sits on the same exploration path. If a bush or wild pickup is on the walk between farm and mine, grab it, but do not turn a five-minute ore run into a thirty-minute sightseeing tour.

Forge: queue, wait, claim

The forge converts raw ores into higher-value outputs or facility-facing materials. Exact recipes change with balance patches, but the workflow stays stable:

1. Open the forge station with ores in inventory
2. Choose a recipe you can actually afford in materials and time
3. Queue the job and note the finish window
4. Leave — water crops, cook, or restock while it works
5. Claim finished goods before the next long AFK so storage does not soft-cap
6. Decide: sell / use for upgrades / feed further crafts

Never stand idle staring at a progress bar while shelves empty. The forge’s power is parallelism: it works while you run the farm. If claim spam becomes chores, shrink batch size until the cadence matches your water cycle.

Mid-article video content often shows Auto Mine toggles and collect helpers. Watch it to learn where nodes sit and how inventory fills, then prefer manual control until the loop is muscle memory. Community automation is mapped under Auto Farm with ban and malware risks — this wiki does not treat scripts as required progression.

How forge output feeds shop versus farm

Output use	When it wins	When it fails
Direct coin from forged goods	You need a quick upgrade fund	Shelves already empty — you should have restocked first
Facility / tool upgrades	Clear time or capacity is the bottleneck	You buy cosmetics while seeds run out
Indirect shop support	Better tools free minutes for cooking	You mine so long that no meals reach customers
Farm synergy	Ore cash buys A/S seeds (tier lists)	You plant F-tier junk with forge money

Ideal split for most mid-game players: keep the shop as primary income, use forge surplus for upgrades and emergency bridges, and keep the farm fed so cooking never starves. If forge coins outpace meal sales for a whole evening, double-check whether customers still find stock — passive ore wealth with a dead pasar is a false win.

Risk of neglecting shelves

Mining feels productive because nodes break and bars fill. Shelves feel quiet until you notice zero sales. Classic failure sequence:

1. Unlock mining excitement
2. Skip one restock “just for a quick cave”
3. Stay for “one more node”
4. Return to dried crops and empty wood
5. Spend forge coins on repairs instead of seeds

Hard rule: no mine run starts on empty shelves. Soft rule: end every ore session with a restock glance. Co-op teams should assign a shopkeep who never leaves the counter during cave hours (Players Hub etiquette applies).

Scheduling around events and codes

Guild Hall and other live windows still want a funded shop. Mine between objectives, not instead of them. As of November 2026 there are no confirmed active promo codes for Forest Market — see the Codes Hub. Fake redeem sites will not repair your pickaxe.

Co-op mining roles

• Runner owns mine + forge claim + forage pickups
• Farmer never leaves water duty for ore
• Chef / shopkeep stay on meals and shelves
• Share repair costs so one friend is not the unpaid bank

Private friend servers make node etiquette easier than chaotic public lobbies.

Progression checkpoints

You “get” mining and forge when you can:

• Finish a node circuit and still water on time
• Queue a forge job, restock shelves, and claim without panic
• Explain why a meal SKU still outranks raw ore for daily income
• Repair tools without skipping seed purchases

When those feel easy, fold ore into your standard money methods rotation and keep watching Updates for node or recipe shifts.

Troubleshooting

Issue	Likely cause	Fix
Tool does nothing	Too early / wrong tool / broken	Unlock path; repair; buy next tier
Inventory full mid-route	Oversized haul	Smaller loops; claim forge sooner
Forge idle forever	Forgot to claim / wrong recipe	Clear queue; re-read UI after patch
No coins despite mining	Empty shelves; selling nothing cooked	Restock meals; rebalance time
Script Auto Mine stuck	Patch break / bad toggle	Stop executor; mine manually (auto-farm)
