Gold Mine

The Gold mine is your primary source of one of the key Resources - Gold. Nothing is free and no one can sit and work for free just because you have no money to pay. That is why it is so important - here you obtain the needed Gold. You send a couple of hundreds of your subjects to the mine to work and hire a few more to look over the others (otherwise it’s very possible that your miners don’t find any gold at all). And there you have it – a secure source of Gold, which means a stable economy. The upgrades on the mine are practically new tunnels in which new miners work. The new tunnels, though, go deeper and deeper so you need more Resources to strengthen the walls. After all, you wouldn’t like it if you’ve just dug a new tunnel and it falls apart burying your miners along with it. Of course, it will all pay back in time, no matter how much you’ve invested in the mine, as long as you are alive to see it.

You can increase the Mine's productivity by allocating free Population to it. This is done by opening the Building's info screen and using the slider (you have to click "Save changes" for the changes to apply). A Mine produces the maximum amount of Gold with the maximum amount of workers. If you have Free Population, but are unable to increase the amount of workers in the Mine, this means that the Mine has to be upgraded to a higher level to be able to take more workers.

Maximum level: 30

Required Buildings: None

Required resources / Time:

Note: The mentioned information refers to worlds with normal (x1) speed. In worlds with higher speed the price of the resources on each level does not change. Only the time necessary for building the level changes.

Example:

If you play in a world with a 10x speed this means that the time you need to finish this building will be 10 times less than the time stated in the table. The resources you need will be the same but the income will be 10 times higher than the one shown here.
