Mining Hut Radius

[Calimar_T]

Hi,
is there any Indicator of how far the Mining Hut Radius (i.e. the Radius where People start mining and bringing the Materials to it) is? There are 2 Copper Fields just a bit Right of Haerdaen (?) and i'm wondering if i can place it just in the middle of it...

I wanted to know the radius of all working camps. It is a good, legitimate question you asked so it is sad no one, including devs, will answer.

Mining camps are quite cheap. Just place one down and see if it works. If not, then just delete it and move it. You're probably better off building two mining camps with one near each rock, and then putting a central stockpile/storage between them anyway. The way the AI works is they mine a rock and bring it back to the CAMP. Then they (or someone else) will bring it to the stockpile FROM the camp.

So in short, get a 4 man team together, two camps, two haulers, if you want to get resources faster. If you don't need it fast, then still make the two camps, but use one guy as a miner and the other as a hauler. Your miner will still use both mining camps if they are in the same outpost. Without the hauler though, he will be wasting time moving things around, or worse, he will keep mining and never move them from the camp to the stockpile. If resources aren't in the stockpile, they can't be delivered.

Edit: Forgot to make it clear that with a centralized CAMP, then he will mine, walk ALLLLL the way to the camp, drop off, then walk ALLLL the way back to the rock and repeat.
