Legacy:Mine Hole

Available metals are: Gold, Silver, Iron, Copper and Tin.

How to Acquire

A mine hole must be built on a paved 3x3 area.

A mine hole may be built anywhere. In order to place a mine hole near available ore, one should prospect the area first, however, it is not necessary. Prospecting requires Rustroot Extract to determine the location of an ore vein. If you don't have access to rustroot, building a mine may just take more underground labour before it digs up any ore.

Note

Since the 1/11/2011 restart, Mine Holes will now lead you to the second layer of the world, wich can also be acessed by cave entrances.

Mines can now be built everywhere, but it`s not guaranteed there will be ore. Thus, Prospecting does not lose it`s worth. The mineholes are way more expensive - you need Hardened Leather to build them. Lastly, Mine support are required as the mine may collapse if you do not build them.

A mine hole built inside your compound should be walled off with a Palisade or Brickwall as it is possible for raiders to tunnel into a mined area from elsewhere and gain entrance to a village or compound through an unsecured mine.
