Where can you get Research Points in Idle Miner Tycoon?

The game may have hinted that you have this sort of skill tree that can lend you some really neat passive bonuses while you’re playing through the tutorial phase -- but as you play through the game and put hours on it, you might notice that not a single free research point came across you through all that leveling and unlocking of continents and mines.

You might be thinking that this feature is exclusively available for those that are willing to pay and buy them from the offered packages in the game shop. Well, this isn’t the case at all. There is a way to earn them for free in the game, although it takes a lot of elbow grease and time to collect them to even be useful and unlock a passive skill in your skill tree -- nonetheless, it is free!

To get them, you’ll have to participate in the event mines. When you enter an event, you’ll see tiers of objectives that can reward you with a collection of items -- including research points. What you’ll have to do basically is to make sure you meet the requirements of the objectives, and complete as much tier as you can, and after the event concludes, you’ll be given the rewards the next time you visit the event mine and will be stored automatically on your inventory.
