View Full Version : Quality Copper Mineshafts
yesterday i put 1 manuscript in the skill 'quality copper mineshafts' of my jolly geologist, which means 15% chance of finding copper deposits that can be mined faster (twice as fast). since then all copper deposits he found (6 so far) are with this feature.
am I that lucky or is it a bug ? can someone confirm ? because I remember from test server, I was not so lucky there.
when my copper mines deplete and geologist finds new ones I'll post more info.
Same for me on the "hidden stone stash", should have a 10% chance of finding treasure on stone deposit search (as long as there are still deposits to be found) and I got treasure on all 6 searches...
Don't knock a lucky streak, you could have had 6 searches that were unlucky....
i also get quality copper mineshafts on all my searches :)
I also had my geologist find FOUR Quality Copper Shafts with only a 15% chance.
And I got treasure from finding Stone Deposits 100% of the time so far (over 5 searches forgot to count exactly)
Will keep checking it. What are other people's experiences, Is it bugged or not?
Wow, your either extremely lucky or it must be a bug! Can anyone report if they have searched for said deposits and not got these bonus's yet? Was gonna totally bypass the chance upgrades as usually chance for me means a slim chance!
I'm 100% on quality copper as well. If its a bug it must be a simple coding value, which also makes me think its not a bug but a deliberate `error' to warm the players to the new science system. But if they can manipulate it here then what else is being controlled from afar ? resource drops ? adventure finds? Server favouritism? Are the % values shown to us the players only a guise? Mawahaha :p
I've also seen 100% from the stone searched treasure from 4 goes so far
I did another 9 searches for copper (with 15% chance of quality mineshafts) and all were successful.
I also put 1 Manuscript in Two Marble in One (8% chance of finding two marble deposits at once) and two searches were both successful.
And the Hidden Stone Stash is also 100% successful (2 searches with 20% chance).
It is 100%. I am way past 10 Stone Deposits searches. It ALWAYS gives some treasure.
Copper Quality Mineshafts ALWAYS works. I am well past 12 searches and ALL of them were quality shafts.
What's the official feedback from BB on this????????????????????????????????????
Same here stone and copper quality always 100% also copper mining surplus is 100% which means I can make lots of copper ore simply by demolishing my mines and discovering them again them .... 50 100 or 250 copper ore everytime with a 3 minute turnaround !!! has to be a bug certainly easier than buffing them
I can't give the official line but I presume there is a percent chance across the server, not individual players, so just lucky I guess.
As we have seen with the coins from medium treasure search and granite from adventure during the 1st crisis quest, some players hit paydirt all the time while others end up having no luck at all.

It is NOT luck. It is working 100% of the time. I am past 20 copper mine searches and it did not fail a single time. that is like 0,000000003486784401% likely to happen. Same with Stone deposits, past 20 now.
Could do with some confirmation here, Is it 100% chance now but will go on the actual percentages in a couple of weeks time?
Lol, don't give me lucky either, no ones that lucky over 20 searches. It must be set at the moment and I assume will change soon, bit like the packed wheatfield bug ( god I wish everyone kept their mouth shut about that ).
By announcing it here don't expect it to last too long. Enjoy it while its still available :)
It's not luck, it's definitely a bug.
6 for 6 quality copper mineshafts (probability = .15 ^ 6 = 0.00001) and every stone search finds treasure (lost count of how many success I've had).

I have made one of my jollys ready to find copper before maintenance but the skill has gone this morning. i already lost one manuscript because i forgot to click the greeen tick and now i lost the copper hunting Jolly Geo

Yup chances are astronomical, chances for my copper mines were at 0,000000003486784401 when I stopped counting...
But seems like Fight Club is going on.... lol
Yep, something went wrong when they added the % to each skill....for now it looks that on every skill for which you would have 5%, 8%, 10% etc chance it is always 100%. Am finding mined copper ore every time I search for a copper deposit. It would be great for the balance of the game if they implemented the correct % during next maintenence!
What seems to be also strange: If I upgrade the mine with Production time 1m 30s from Quality Copper Mineshafts to level 2, it will still have Production time 1m 30s.
Well...Let me clarify...you are COMPLAINING about increased chance of getting extra resources????
You REALLY want to fix this bug???
If it is a bug, should be solved with really low priority, as FYI, there are many REAL bugs to be fixed in the game....
Hello everyone,
Just wanted to add that I too keep getting the faster copper mines every single time.
But, what I have also noticed (in my case at least) is that these faster copper mines (at level 2, buffed) run out way faster than they should - something like 3 or 4h instead of the expected 10.
Anyone else experiencing this?
Thanks!
nim.

LOL I totally second this... bug? what bug... moving along swiftly...

??? That's what's supposed to happen!

Well, it does make a difference. I chose to upgrade my "quality" skill to 45% on the assumption that the current bug that it's always 100% will be fixed.
I hear this will be fixed very shortly! Thanks for the information guys, was easily able to track down this issue because of all your feedback.
One more thing: the production time appears to be 3 minutes the first few minutes it's built
After a few minutes, it changes to 1 min 30 seconds
This has now been fixed to the original percentage but don't fret as there is still light to be had :)
If u can get your jolly/geo up to 45% chance of finding "faster copper mines" u can still get this quite quickly. I had to do 8 searches (20 mins) to find the 3 faster deposits. Once the search is over hovver over the newly found deposit and it will tell u there if u have found the faster deposit (mine only displayed the bigger copper deposit so I knew I had not found it that time). If u have not found it build copper mine and destroy b4 your settler starts building it (at worst u lose cost of building a copper mine) then start search over again till u have both copper bonus's displayed.
I plan to upgrade my 3 jollys and only to the 3rd tier atm as at level 41 theres not much better on offer.
With the books applied to bigger copper deposits and faster copper deposits your 6 copper mines at lev 2 (12 hrs till they run out) are manageable for most players to keep tabs on without having to login constantly. Of course u need the books to upgrade but only 8 manu's per geologist so not too bad.
