Efficient Mine
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.
