How to revive mines?

[PGei]

I mean, when a copper mine runs out of copper have I to dismantle it or can I revive it in any way?

thx

As near as I can tell, you have to get your geologist to search for another deposit and then build a new mine. They can't be revived but there are items you can buy that will restock mines before they run out.

You must destroy, and then send a geologist.

[sparkz]

you need to send a geologist but no need to destroy.

[PGei]

thx all... sparkz I'll try: if isn't like that I can't see why raise their level up

[sparkz]

Nope.

Collapsed mine does not need to be destroyed in order to find a new deposit. That is a fact. Upgrades however dont stay after mine runs out of resources and newly built mine needs to be upgraded again.

Why upgrade? Because its cheaper at higher levels, also there is a limited number of deposits on map, and in order to mass produce swords/ tools and whatever you will very soon have to upgrade the mines.

Spark, i thought the same, but few times, i dont know why, even 4 geologistic misions in row, didnt find my mines. I deleted old one, and they found with first attempt. Mostly it works like you said, however sometimes ...

i think you have to destroy the old mine... i'm pretty sure you won't find a deposit otherwise.

Im pretty sure I didnt destroy any mines or depleted stone deposits in months.

I wont bet though, that if there is a couple of them in your sectors, the depleted one that was not demolished wont be found last (since im using 6 geos and I really dont pay attention to what order they are found in).

If it does not work on this server, perhaps its a bug that you could report.

You dont have to remove depleted mines or stone deposits before you can find a new one at the same spot.

just sent my geo out to find more iron as my last mine had run out, he found more at the same spot but the exhausted mine disappeared.
Never had any problem with quarries though

Hi there,one thing you can do to save some of your resources,when the mine has just about expired tear it down and you get some of your resources back saves you a little instead of losing everything.

We shouldn't have to build mines over and over again, the resources are hard enough to come by as it is, I find it a real struggle to make ends meet so to speak, Another thing....why can't we have a dropdown menu to say how many mines of each type we have instead of having to scan the map all the time, just saying is all...:(
Something to think about when the game finally comes out of beta.
