 Efficient Mine is a  Iron Teeth exclusive building that allows for harvesting of infinite  Scrap Metal. For  Folktails equivalent see  Mine.

Construction

The mine is  Iron Teeth exclusive, and needs to be built on top of  Underground Ruins. To build the mine you will need 300  Logs, 300  Treated Planks, and 450  Gears; logs are harvested by the  Lumberjack Flag, treated planks are made in the  Wood Workshop, and gears are made in the  Gear Workshop. It costs 4000  Science points to unlock the efficient mine.

Usage

The efficient mine has 2 recipes. The first recipe produces 3 scrap metal per 1 gear and 1 treated plank. The second recipe also takes in 1 gear and 1 treated plank but in addition also takes in 1  Explosive. This recipe produces 6 scrap metal. This means that, in comparison to the first recipe, adding 1 explosive to the mix effectively doubles to production of scrap metal from the efficient mine.

It takes 18 hours per  beaver to harvest  Scrap Metal. The UI will change to show the production time the more beavers you have employed. With full 10 beavers working on the mine it takes 1.8 hours to produce 3 or 6 scrap metal depending on the selected recipe. Scrap metal can be turned into metal blocks using the  Smelter.
