Little gold from mobile washplant

[Dolphin]

Hi,

I just got a mobile washplant. I ran it until the bucket was full and then panned out the bucket.... I only got an ounce maybe. Am I doing something wrong? I don't understand what's wrong here.

What do you guys think?

MWP have only 7% cleaning rate. Example: if you have 300 oz in area - MWP gave you only 21 oz of gold. You need to upgrade to t3/4/5

[Dolphin]

So I need a higher tier washplant? I don't even understand why the mobile washplant is in the game. I think I'm losing money with it.... The gas for my loader is costing more than the gold I'm getting.

How is it that I was making so much more at my hog sluice?

What exactly do I need to get to tier 3?

This seems like a design flaw. I got a wave table too and was hoping I would get more gold but it doesn't seem to work.

I'm getting like 1/4 the gold as I was getting just shoveling dirt.... Why did I spend like 40k to make less money?

[Dolphin]

Ugh, I can't play this game anymore. I feel like I wasted so much ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ time at this point to go backwards. I feel like I should be getting at least 3x more than the sluice at the river. Now I'm running a generator, water pump, and tons of fuel in my excavator and getting maybe half the gold per minute.

Is it supposed to be this bad? I'd switch back to shoveling dirt for gold but I'm almost out of dirt at this point. I'm not really sure how I'm supposed to move to the next level now. Seems broken.

I am returned to hog pan area, when my money for fueling excavator has been depleted :) After clean up - 4 oz per bucket. It`s unplayable with MWP right now

[Weird-Marksman]

Got the same problem(playing on hard). T2 gives me almost no profit because fuel and repairs eats all my money. I have no idea how i should ever upgrade to T3 or even buying the big excavator. Actually i dont even know how to survive the winter when there will be lots of repairs after...

[Secret]

its sad that you work on T1 to get the money for T2 and the money you get there barely covers expenses, god forbit getting a loan to just to mostly T3 stuff, i doubt ill be able to make the money back to pay off any sized loan, and since im playing on normal the $1 for all option is perma disabled so i cant just buy rest of T3 and enjoy the game i payed for.. till things are fixed iv just been stacking my 30 full buckets by my 2 MWP and wait for patchnotes to show a change and make my digging with my time

The wave table does not produce more gold for you it is just a faster way of cleaning.

You need to plan and think about what you want and need and more so if playing on hard.

The hog pan area will always have a "fair" amount of gold in there, it's not bad and its not great but its enough to get you on your way to T2 or T3 it just depends how YOU plan and plan.

Many people tend to sit on the hog pan for a while and get a nice pot of gold stored up ready for the costly things to come.

Some key things that i try to buy first are the Drill and large excavator. The Drill comes in handy early as you can then decide where you want to invest your time digging.

On a nice patch with T2 you can pull so much more out of a bucket than just an ounce, chances are the ground you are getting an ounce out of is very low so a design flaw? no, bad player judgement? indeed.

Anyone that is playing hard mode and finding it really difficult to manage should drop back down to normal and play some more on that level.

Many have been in this sistuation, some have made it past here and some have not.

IS ANYONE MAKING MONEY OR GETTING AHEAD ON HARDMODE?

i saved up all my gold from hog pan area and bought Excavator and MWP. with the cost of fuel and breakdowns i was able to manage by end of season 90k. i skipped till 1day to perma for cheaper cost and got second MWP and FEL. stocked up on repairs wile prices cheaper in shop and still cant make enough with FEL AND 2 MWP... I JUST got on last clean up 4oz from 948qm its truly crazy to get ahead.

if anyone can tell me were i went wrong please do?

[banished]

i think the problem is with the mobile washplant every 10% fill gives 1% paydirt in pail

same ratio as tier 3 which is 4 hogpan mats 12 miners moss 4 buckets 4 miners grille

That one bucket in mwp takes aprox same amount of dirt as 1 cleanup tier 3 not confirmed exactly tested by digging 2 holes looked the same size will do on seperate days for exact numbers later

[ArmChairGamingUK]

Thanks, just really hope this get fixed. not even fun anymore when can bearly cover breakdowns and fuel. :(

[Waterjoe]

what is absolutly clear that the mwp didn´t makes the same as T3. You have more cost for buying and you have more mats and so on.

[codehorizon_mod_Egoon]

thats the point insn't it? the full t3 (4 and 5) give more % of the gold for the same amount of dirt. if you run the whole claim though the mwp you wont get anywhere the same amount of gold as you would form t3. and if you have t4 and 5 you will get even more

[codehorizon_mod_Egoon]

about the 2 MWP idea, its cool if you want to do that. but thats in no way efficient. you just have a lot of gold lost in tailings because the mwp isnt made for being efficient. its a cheap way of prossesing dirt. its way WAY better to upgrade to t3.

if you want to prosses a lot of dirt, yea you will get more form dubbeling up on the mwp. but if you want a lot of gold. you need to go to t3.

running more yards does NOT equal getting more gold.
running your yards more efficient does!

No one is saying otherwise. ofc the higher tech gets more gold thats a given. what im saying is with cost of fuel and repairs i can bearly cover them. never mind getting the money for the better tech. Devs can you tell me were i went wrong
