Talk:Mine

No mining?
I have a second dungeon and three resources. I have mine tiles around all the resources and several goblins, but my resource page shows I'm mining... nothing. It lists the resources, but shows my rate at "None". What do I have to do to get the goblins to start mining? Do I have to upgrade the mines to level 2 before they'll start mining? — Frεcklεfσσt | Talk 20:12, February 10, 2011 (EST)


 * Might help if we have a screenshot. You may need to research something to mine it as well. Also, make sure that there is a yellow ring around it (that the mine is activated) KTCAOP 20:16, February 10, 2011 (EST)

There isn't a ring around it. How do I active a mine? &mdash; Fr&epsilon;ckl&epsilon;fσσt | Talk 20:23, February 10, 2011 (EST)

Nevermind, got it. I just left-clicked on the resource, and the pop-up menu appeared. I had no idea I had to do that! Thanks! &mdash; Fr&epsilon;ckl&epsilon;fσσt | Talk 20:25, February 10, 2011 (EST)

Stacking Range
What is the stacking range? If I build mining tiles around resources I am mining, How far out will my goblins stack the resources? I am trying to build an efficient layout in my expansion dungeon.


 * They will drop resources up to 3 squares away from the mines. It makes a 7 by 7 square of possibilities with the mine in the middle. Cosumel 09:54, February 18, 2012 (EST)

Multiple mines
Is there a benefit to having multiple mines of the same type in an expansion dungeon? There is a dungeon in my mountain that has 1 crystal, 1 iron, 4 gold, 2 primordial earth, and a primordial water. Do I get extra for the multiple gold, or is it still based on the number of goblins digging?

It is still based on the number of goblins digging. The benefit is (lets say you have 8 goblins in that dungeon) that you can activate 2 primordial earth mines, you can have 8 goblins digging for it instead of 4, basically doubling your mining rate. The minus is that it's at the cost of being able to mine another of the nodes. If you have the 2 primordial earth mines activated and 1 gold, it will split your 8 goblins between the 3 nodes. Meaning 2.66 goblins will be mining gold and 5.33 will be mining primordial earth. &mdash; NecroDee 15:12, February 20, 2011 (EST)
