Village
Rebuild and grow the Village as you purify the Hole. Village upgrades, buildings and rewards in the incremental adventure Hole Is Mine.
Introduction
The Village is the community at the heart of Hole Is Mine — the home base above the Hole that you rebuild as you purify the divine hole below. Your Mini'Ohs form a thriving little society that grows with your progress: every secret you uncover and every milestone you pass brings the Village one step closer to being fully restored. Investing resources into Village upgrades and buildings unlocks rewards that support your run, making the Village both a cozy backdrop and a meaningful system. This hub covers how Village growth works, what the community bonuses do and how to get the most out of rebuilding your home above the Hole.

Core Mechanics
The Village is tied directly to your overall progression. As you purify the Hole and uncover secrets, the Village above it rebuilds and grows — your Mini'Ohs form a community that expands with every milestone. Resources you extract from the Hole can be invested into Village upgrades and buildings, which unlock permanent bonuses and rewards. The system is gentle: you are not managing a complex city-builder, but rather watching a cozy community develop as a reward for your mining. Still, where you choose to invest matters, because Village bonuses support the mining loop in different ways — some improve production, others open up new options, and a few are tied to the game's hidden content.
Advantages
The Village gives Hole Is Mine its heart. Watching your Mini'Oh community grow as you purify the Hole is deeply satisfying, and it turns every milestone into a visible change in the world above, which makes long sessions feel rewarding. Mechanically, Village upgrades give your resources a second home: once your mining is fast, investing in the Village is one of the best ways to keep growing, and the permanent bonuses support your run for the rest of the playthrough. The Village also anchors the game's secrets — The Great Oh is rumored to hide beneath it — so rebuilding it is not just for comfort but part of the path to the deepest mysteries the game has to offer.
Challenges
The Village's weakness is that its exact systems are lightly documented at launch. We know the Village rebuilds as you progress and that upgrades unlock rewards, but the full list of buildings, the precise effect of each upgrade and the Village's maximum level are not officially published anywhere yet. The game is new enough that the community is still mapping out what each Village investment actually does, which means some of the information here is based on reports rather than confirmed mechanics. If you are the kind of player who wants to plan Village spending precisely, you may need to wait for community spreadsheets to catch up, or test each upgrade yourself.

Quick Tips
Do not pour early impurities into the Village. Mining speed compounds faster in the opening hours and unlocks more income to invest later, so hold off until your extraction rate is comfortable. Once mining feels easy, the Village becomes one of the best places to keep growing. The early impurities are better spent where they compound, so be patient with the Village at first.
Treat Village investment as a habit rather than a lump sum. A steady share of your income going into Village upgrades through the mid-game beats a big late-game dump, because the permanent bonuses compound over the rest of your run. Small consistent investments add up quickly. Even a small weekly share keeps the bonuses growing while you still invest plenty in mining and the trees.
Keep the Village in mind when you hunt secrets. The game's biggest mystery, The Great Oh, is rumored to hide somewhere beneath the Village, and a fully rebuilt community may be a prerequisite for unlocking something special. Restoring everything is worthwhile beyond the bonuses. Exploring with the Village fully rebuilt is also simply more pleasant, since the community feels alive.
