Are they cheating?

[Lacan77]

Hey,

Maybe I'm out of line here, but i've seen some things that are really bugging me. E.g. how is it possible that I've only got 6 copper ore after a full afternoon mining (4 mines) with the copper smelters off? Are there other facilities using copper ore?
Same with iron ore. Am I missing something?

Grtz

bronze smelters use copper, tools use bronze :) best to check your economy tabs

Hey,

that is just my point. I had 4 copper mines and 4 copper smelters. The smelters were inactive so normally they don't make bronze. The mines were fully active and still after 7 hours I just had 6 copper ore in my warehouse

Hopefully that will allow you to answer your question.
