Hogpan Mats?

[HammerHead316]

So, is the ability to put extra mats in the holders a thing yet, or are the rings just in early? I haven't been following this game too closely the last few months, and I'm just wondering. Or, am I just having a glitch were I can't put them in yet? (I am not in the beta)

If you have a hogpan worker, he puts the full mats in the side holders. So you can keep washing dirt though for 3 sets of mats before stopping to do a clean up.

Yeah, hire worker and assign him to hog pan sluice. And then upgrade him to level 3, it will put full 8 holders.

I can't put clean mats in the holders. I have one worker assigned to each hog pan and they don't do anything. Where do I put the clean mats?

Once you have a worker assigned to the Hog Pan, you should be able to add 4 additional matts to the loops on the side of the Hog Pan. Make sure that the workers are indeed assigned to the correct Hog Pan.

I can't add those mats in the holders either. I have upgraded the workers to 3 level and they are assinged in the correct Hog Pans too. Only thing the workers "say" is that they are only more effective.

I can't add miners moss in the bigger sluicebox holders either. I have only one worker for the first sluicebox which only allows me to add three buckets.

Just double-checking, is the workers assigned to the actual Hog Pan, & not the part where you dump the ore into?? And you don't have them assigned to a Hog Pan in another mine?? And finally, just to verify, you are using the correct mats for the system?

*facepalm. That was exactly the problem. I have all my hogpan workers working only with that machine where you put the ore and not the "base" or whatever it is called. Same thing with the sluice box. No wonder I couldn't add the mats to the holders.

I then tried ot use a 1.2 million dollars trying to "teach" three workers, and could only "teach" two to work for sluice box (the box with the mats) but still no one to work for the actual hogpan bases and I would have two of them in each claim availabe. The randomized "teaching" is extremely unfair and even unrealistic.

I would like if it would be changed to, 50 000 dollars and you could pick to what the person would be specialized.

Yes the re-training option I think should be modified as such:

• First seperate it from the requirement to upgrade the worker.
  
• Second, I agree that it should not be as randomized.
  Possible solution:
  • List each job skill & maybe a price for training each.
