Ore Mines

[Tynendir]

Hey,

I'm kinda confused with the new update; in order to get ore you can't build an ore mine anymore? I'm confused because I can't find any ore mine in my building list and thus despite having unlocked a few techs (I've finished most lvl 2 researches and on my way to build a lvl 3 bench - dot plates are expensive).

Are you talkin about copper, iron and carbon?

If so they dont require a structure- they simply list their overall quality and production per instance and you mine directly from it

I think this is because troughout the landscape there are scattered ore reposits and remains of pre-apocalyptic buildings which you can mine.

So no more iron mines buildings like we had or like we still have with stone? How does automated ore mines work then?

There are Automated ore mines but they are pretty far down the tech tree. I think they are bugged atm as i have to rebuild it every time i reload a save or they dont work

They seem to run out of ore in my experience after fiddling with them. Despite building them on a nice 98 ore on the building screen, after actually building them it displays 0 and won't produce any ore.

Ore mines are good for one play only atm. If you load a savegame you have to destry and rebuild

In my game 0.90.9 that I started in I think 0.90.2/3, I have teched up to Tech Level 3 and have studied/bought books for all techs accept for "Tech Level Four" and "Automated Ore Mines". Now, "Tech Level Four" is ready to go. I have the books and researchers standing by. But, I just don't like to advance tech levels until I've researched everything in the previous level. Progression and all that.

"Automated Ore Mines" is redded out and when I hover over it, it says it requires "Automated Mining Tech" as a requirement.

Now, I was beginning to think that "Automated Mining Tech" is a blueprint we have to hunt down. Is this the case?

I am not an expert but it would seem as though you will have to "Tech Up" to that point, hence my question.

Stone still works the same way. Just make sure the ground you plan to build on has stone. Use the prospect button if you are unsure.

I am up to Tech level 3 and I can tell you there are no "Ore Mines" available early on. Iron nodes exist in the world and you will need them if you wish to build machinery. There are also copper nodes. Copper is required for various electronics. Farming has also changed. There are various Crops that grow in certain Biomes. Also, you might starve to death. Kenshi has come a long, long way. It is a difficult adjustment, but one worth making. Most resources/components are sold in shops. Everything is out to destroy you. Have fun.

Automated mining tech requires the ancient books and is the next tech lvl up if i remember correctly

Hmmmm... Strange though, I have 2 Ancient books in one of my Research Benches. I have 2 Research Benches though. Could that be causing it to "red out"?

All my iron nodes around me run dry relatively quickly.
