Mobile Wash Plant

[stuartwillis247]

Has the percentage of gold you get from the mobile washplant dropped or is this a bug.I have drilled all of the Old Arnold claim and found where the best gold is, the current square that i am digging had just over 300oz. Now everytime i have emptied the bucket into the magnitite seperator, then into the wave table i am getting around 4oz of gold, but before the recent updates i was getting around 9oz i have started a new game and still only getting 4oz.

What set up have you got?

[stuartwillis247]

I have the small excavator, mobile wash plant small power generator, small water pump magnatite seperator wave table all of the hoses to connect every thing

When I drive into the city the ad is always gone then has to reload and then every time I drive and that is not meaningful and zweg

i started a new game i havent played since jan and was maxed out on nighthawk so i am noticing improvement and other things that arent, as op says i def notice a huge dissappointing decrease in mobile washplant, i am getting more from gold nuggets than a whole bucket through the wavetable, whereas a whole bucket panned from 4 mats from hogpan produces about the same or more. doesnt make sense that im moving way more yardage with excavator and mobile washplant yet net the same Oz per bucket, now can i do more buckets per day yes obv but the point remains i have a better machine to process the dirt yet net the same amount. i dont do magenite so im not calculating that.

I think the idea with how little you get is due to how inefficient it is using the mobile wash plant which in turn means losing gold. So in other words save up money to get the full wash plant setup fully and then you´ll start seeing a massive increase in how much gold you get compared to the wash plant.

Same here. On a 300oz square i get 1 - 4oz per bucket.

Here exactly the same. I have drilled the square and it says that i should harvest 8kg of gold. I dug out the entire square and i got only 2kg gold and i dug until i have reached the bottom.

a few things here, a drill just gives you an estimation, you can get a more accurate result by drilling multiple holes in the same square. (zoom in more on the gold map to see the individual holes)

then if you have a accurate result , thats just the amount of gold there is in the ground. now you need to get it out. if your setup is the mobile washplant you will lose a lot of it. tier 5 with everything on it and upgrades... will give you close to 100% of the gold.

But i get only 30oz from a square. The gold map tells me 300oz.....
I think multiple holes will not make it much better.

what washplant are you using? and like i said the multiple holes can lower that number, or make it higher. it will result in a more acurate result.

I have the same setup like Stuartwillis247. The small excavator and the mobile wash plant

then there is nothing wrong. the mobile washplant is the worste of all the plants. if you want more gold out of the ground you need to upgrade.

Which has more efficiency, the hogpan (long with 4 mats) or the T2 mobile plant?
If hogpan, then I think it would possible to use the places at the T3 ground and dig with the shovel on the big dig site (eventually make a ramp to a richer spot with the excavator) into buckets and then run them through magsep and hogpan. If time doesn't matter, of course. Or am I wrong?

tbh i dont know witch is more effecient, but you can dig so much faster with the mobile washplant then you can with your shovel and hogpan that it would't be more efficient time whise

T2 quite obviously. The fact it takes more soil and has a better cleaning system compared to T1.
