Does the second deposit found gets affected by Geologist skills?

The different skills will combine (if that's what you're asking). I have given my first geo the skills to find bigger copper deposits and faster copper mines and I have copper mines that are bigger and faster.
I mean specifically the 'Two X in One skills'. On the test server, it did not work:
http://forum.tsotesting.com/threads/...understand-%21
"Name : Two Marble ion one
* 8% chance per level to find two marbles at once (8%, 16% and 24%)
* The deposit is discovered without Geologist bonuses "
Bump.... can anyone confirm that when this skill works the 2nd deposit does NOT have any Geologist bonuses?..........
Second deposit does NOT have the bonuses. My geo finds 24% bigger marble deposits and sometimes finds two, but the extra deposit does NOT have the extra 24%.
It seems some skills stack, but that one does not. I don't know about other 2-for-1 searches yet, but I'd guess they are the same.
Thanks Bob. Yes the others should work the same.
Oh well I guess I will have 0 in most 2 in 1 then.
The bigger deposits simply work 100% of the time and thus last longer = more time before sending out Geologists.
The only close call is the Iron 2 in 1 in my opinion; since there is no specific skill to increase Iron deposits, the only thing that works is the last Codex skill Natural born Digger +8% deposit. So deposits go from 550 to 594. And with 16 iron deposits might be worth it to find 2 instead of 1 sometimes.
Agreed, the only tempting one is iron because there are so many deposits to go after, but even then I think I'll go for other skills instead.
Hi there,
wonder if this is by design. I have the find 24% bigger marble deposits specialization together with the "two marble in one". However if I find a second mine, it is normal size and not 24% bigger as the first one is. Is it by design?

i think the 2 in one means it finds 2 at the same time like you can with iron mines not sure though
Still don't get how it should work. Two marble deposits found: 360 marble and 352 marble. That's less than 8% extra.
And why is only the bigger one marked with the stupid moving thing above it, while the other one is the free one and therefore the real bonus?
It's not that it doesn't work. It could be that you already maxed out on how many you can find.
You have to get the other talent that lets you get an additional deposit than the max.

If you send it while you have only one marble spot left, then it might happen that you trigger to find a spot rightaway. A real good skill would save you geologist to go on a further useless trip...but no...your geologist is gone for 30 minutes just to discovered that "you already have too many marble locations found".
Not much of a bonus skill. It's to be translated in "24% chance of sending out your geologist on a purposeless trip".
Still not sure. Bug or feature?

Also, if you have only 1 deposit left to find on the map, 2 for 1 gives a 24% chance of finding no deposits at all. ~ Really useful skill there BB.
I wanted a geo who was a total specialist in marble, it turns out that for a geo to be usefully skilled in marble he absolutely cannot have the 2 for 1 'skill'.
I'm assuming the same is true for other 2 for 1 geo abilities.
I can't believe this was intentional by BB, but is in fact an oversight.
Meanwhile, do I reset my geologist's skill tree to get rid of the 2 for 1 debacle, or do I assume BB will eventually fix an obviously retarded mistake?
Be very careful how you skill your geos, or you'll end up with guys who hit themselves in the head with their own rock hammers.
::settler::"I like rocks!!" "Yes, that's fascinating, now shut up & return to the tavern you moron"
Yihaa...and one more dumb thing with this skill.
Useless when finding mines, empty mine spots are preferred over spots with a depleted mine. This gives you the possibility to keep a depleted mine on spots you don't want to be found by your geologist.
But hey...of course: the additional marble spot is ignoring this preferrence and simply finding a spot with a depleted mine. Great....can't use that either anymore.
This most be the most rubbish addition to the game ever.
The second marble deposit is not showing up until AFTER another geo `fails to find it', which is wasting a whole geo search and makes this `skill' pointless. Its happened every time I've found two in one, and I therefore consider it to be bugged. ( Its especially annoying as I have four jollies and two tavern geos and the two in one finds tend to be on the second jollies searches ( 2x4 ) and I send the two taverns to find the last 2 of the 10 deposits....which have already been found but not showing up, thus costing me two half hour searches!!)
Just add it to the list: http://forum.thesettlersonline.com/t...ghlight=marble

so 2 marble in one is it no longer bugged?
do you get 2 marbles with the +% increase ?
Two days running it appears not, for me at least :) Not sure if your talking about the `increase' in resources as that's the next tier for me ( only just moved one geo onto this) and if so I can't comment. If your talking about the % chance of a geo finding a second deposit, then like everything in this game its virtually impossible to prove as each geo search will start with the same % chance, so some days none of the ten searches will get a second find, on others if your lucky five will all get one, and of course everything in between. ( Yesterday I had two, today I had one) Obviously you never know if the last geo search ever finds one;)Quote:

16/08 update: Today the second find appeared straight after sending the geo's out. Now if this was to continue this would be perfect, as even if you had sent a geo out for that second deposit at least your marble mason would be working it in the meantime. Only one second find today so can't say if this is consistent yet, or what tomorrow will bring.
I checked out 2 for 1 marble again yesterday. (I really didn't want to.) It's still dumb.
