Balancing Miners

[BuncyTheFrog]

Are there any good ways to balance miners between gems and trees beyond eyeballing it or being really good about keeping them in groups?
A stat pointing out how many are in each half of the map even would be great.

At the moment, just put as many Mooses as you can on each side and keep rails as close as you can to them.

That's unfortunate. Knowing the miners on either side or the amount of materials queued at either side would both be great bits of info to have

There seems to be no way to tell how many are on one side versus the other, which makes it really hard to get ratios proper.

It's pretty straightforward.

Pick a place where you want to set up your mining operation.
Mark it out with storage barriers a little ways out from each side so that nothing overflows too far in any direction.
Create two groups of moosen of equal size, one on each side.
Assign a flag to each one covering only the area you selected.
Make sure your meese have more or less equal upgrades as you don't want any one side to be significantly faster than the other.

Now just extend the rails from time to time and you should be balanced. If things get out of balance you can upgrade the moosi on one side a little bit more to even it out.

Upgrading moose works on both, generally, unless you're really specific about 1x upgrades on the lower-stat moose. Most of the time people are upgrading them though, it will affect both sides and both sides will have the same stats.
