Fast money, fast mining !!!

[novato83]

Could someone pass on any tips on how to get money quickly, or how the leaderbords people can do 56K, 11K, 10K in just 6 days (alias 56K, it's really impressive), I am mining for hours and I can't even get to the first 10 , and that playing about 3 to 4 hours a day, someone could help and pass on some tips !!!

Any tip is welcome: D

Thank you !!!

Maybe they take a huge loan and go t3 right off the bat?
By day 6 that would be very hard to do I think. You would have to dig in hog pan area for a day at least i would think. I went fast but not that fast.

[novato83]

Thanks for replying !!!

In the case I'm with T3, and Tonnel from T4, I took the same one on the 3rd day, borrowed it and rented the machinery, I already got 1600 OZ, but even so it's difficult to keep up with the people from above, they evolve too fast, it is difficult to follow them !!!

For the money... Cheat Engine. About the leaderboards the people who make more than 6k in the Leaderboards are cheaters who use exploits.

[novato83]

It is unfortunately there may be people who use cheats, I don't like cheating, I'm playing in the hard mode, now if the people at the top of the table are using cheats, the company that manages the game, should keep an eye on them, and go banning anyone who does this !!!

I mean, in a perfect world you would have 0 dollars at the end of each day and that money would be going 100% into growing your yards per day until you have a full t3. At that point you would want to be renting night hawk, upgrading workers, buying nigh hawk, then buying t5 and everything else to increase yards per day....
This is why I don't do leader board. I like to take some risk but not be on the raged edge and sometimes I just wanna chill and dig.

[novato83]

Thanks for the answer.

I was having the same idea, but isn't the 45% much?
I'm currently mining as much as I can until the season ends, I wanted to buy a field, so I don't have to pay the percentage, and get more money, but I don't know how far this can be so effective.

But not in long term. T3 gets 3 times of gold out of the same dirt and it's only set up once and don't need to be repositioned like the T2.

[M.Stranger]

Besides that the mobile wash plant, T2, only yields 7% of the gold your running thru it, not good too lose 83% of your pay dirt. The design of the game is to upgrade your wash plant.

Notes from earlier discussions:

Bottom line is that the returns are:
T1: 96% (Highly efficient but VERY slow)
T2: 7%
T3: 20%
T4: 27%
T5: 33%

Whilst the % difference might not seem big, the returns you're getting are massive (Tier 5 over 50% more gold than Tier 3).

Remember also, that these tests are WITHOUT workers, so they'll also add to the bottom line and will add a greater % to Tier 5 than they will to Tier 3, pushing the 33% much higher (though I don't know to how much).

Credit to "Storm" who did the Testing.

In previous Lb many of the top 10 have been streamers who plough hundreds of hours in (I haven`t looked at Lb9 tbh)

I`ve started 4 or 5 of them but can never keep pace. In Lb8 I was in full T3 setup by the end of day 2. In the first 4 real time days I played about 30 hours. By the end of the first season I was ready to set up T4 at the next claim. I was about 16th when I stopped, but the top 10 already had treble/quadruple my gold.

I`m not convinced they cheat, I just think they play it relentlessly & exploit the game mechanics, like advancing through several seasons at the hotel in order to get workers quicker or resetting the dumper truck closer to the wash plant when loading at the back of the claim etc.

I`m currently on my fourth season on hard mode, and every oz of gold matters, less about volume more about decision making. After 4 seasons digging out OA, I`m only just ready to move to River Town with a T3/T4 set up.

100%. If you are a leader board player (competitively) you are not playing the game in the off season; you are testing everything you can think of to perfect a series of exploits to achieve maximum efficiency in progression. Then you are using what you found to gain popularity and get paid to play. You're not just digging as fast as you can, you’re following a schedule of events.

BUT really?
4 seasons??? I have not played hard mode but it must be way harder then normal.

[Goñzo-OG]

hard more is brutal stuff breaks down, and I mean everything.

[Schumi]

Like Gonzo says hard mode is more brutal (but satisfying). Without the initial nuggets & higher gold prices, it is a lot tougher.

It took me 3 seasons to fully own a T3 set up, so i was renting at about 21k a day, and then giving up 30% of the gold on top. Factor in more frequent breakdowns, some in game days you don`t make much £ progress. There were plenty of days where I was racing against the clock to smelt gold before midnight in order to stay solvent.

Makes it more enjoyable when you start to turn a corner & become a little more self sustaining. being able to rent RT, whilst slowly upgrading to T4 and owning a claim is progress.

If you have already played normal mode, I would recommend it.

[Noxtreme]

I have had this experience on normal so I would probably die on hard. I can't say I enjoyed the game when I came within a few hundred of being broke. Especially because this was also the point I realized you should ALWAYS make a save point before taking on huge risk with the goal of progression. I came within 200 of being broke with no restore point so the only choice was dig and dig and dig and dig as fast as possible while trying to reduce expenses. The magnetite was key as all the gold was going to workers, rent, and breakage.

this morning i made this video explaining how i make my funds in game and explain how i did my tier 3 setup. ive added some tips for drilling machine to use and some other bits as well i hope the info helps.

like i explain in the video i would of written it all out but with my very poor grammer and spelling i would of no doubt upset the whole of the steam community
