Mobile Washplant

[Schumi]

Can you now re-attach the mobile washplant to your pick up & move to another section of your claim? I thought it had been fixed, but I still cant personally

[ZaRaK]

did you remove the hose, cable and bucket?

[Pegleg1972]

I had same problem had to reset washplant in order to be able to move

[One Of Five]

I had to give mine a bump on the backside with the pickup truck to pop it up on the front end

Cheers, removed all connections, I`ll give the reset a go. That will be days sluicing gone :-)

conveyor belts would be nice.. so that you dont need to replace it...
just build some conveyors belt and put the dirt on it xD
would be awesome...

Not sure if it's a mobile wash plant question, or if it's an excavator one, but I'll pose it here:

I managed to save enough money with the mobile washplant to buy the Large Excavtor. Granted, the bucket is so large that I now have to slowly empty the bucket everytime, but it has really sped up the process.

However, I went for averaging between 1.1 and 1.5 oz of gold per wash bucket with the small excavator to between 0.5 and 0.7 oz per bucket with the large excavator. I'm still digging the same general location (at Rivertown) as I was with the small excavator. In other words, I'm digging the same hole I was previously (just moving out a bit).

Is this just the randomness of gold ore placement, or is this in fact why one shouldn't use the big excavator with the mobile wash plant?

Colour me discouraged.

it think its just bugged, or not well coded...
like with the T3 stuff...
if you just take a look at the invested time.. a T2 washplant will get you much more profit than the T3 equipment....

= 30 mins > small excavator + mobile washplant = more profit
= 30 mins > large excavator + T3 equipment = less profit

most profit = rent all claims, set up T2 stuff, hire workers, use T2 equipment, sell magnetite (gold is just a bonus)

Egoon, my original query was resolved. Thanks

this might be random that you where having a beter spot before....

but the game gets tweaked constantly so it might change in the future.
