Dont see the point in finding mines that can be mined faster either. my mines deplete faster than i can rebuild them as it is and i dont even upgrade or buff my mines. i wake up after 4 hrs sleep andfind all my iron mines have depleted. by the time ive found them again and rebuilt them the 1st 1 is depleted again. So having mines that mine in half the time means ill run out of marble and tools a lot faster and geo,s will be out searching for iron deposties a lot more meaning gold coal and copper mines will have to wait to be found again as the goe,s will be permantly looking for iron.
Lower the dose of the sleeping pills because an unupgraded iron mine lasts about 50 hours. Certainly not 4.Quote:

What was needed is a iron specialist that actually worked for the need of the heavy requirement of the iron chain. Finding larger deposits being a priority, A fast searcher and with a guaranteed extra iron ore surplus find with every search, wouldn't need to be large as long as it is in addition too the skilled tree ( as many will have skilled their geo's for the iron chain already ). That IMO is what they should have produced to make it a `must' have and by that I mean would it pass the `buy for gems' test if it was in merchant up against a jolly or a gen.
Anyway its all pretty mute for me as if they haven't fixed the freezing issue by then, the game is going back to being a screen saver...losing a month and a half of adventuring means I've virtually left anyway...
For an average player who logs in 1-2 times a day the new geo (as it is) is worth 1-2 faster deposits a day. Thats like 2-4% production increase? Almost no difference.
Only thing that makes a difference is if you earn enough iron refills to keep a lvl 7 mine going nonstop you can replace the normal deposit for a faster one. A one time thing.
Geologists are not Generals, so if they say general skills follow a certain rule, doesn't mean geologists will follow the same rule, too :)Quote:

Having to find the deposits, building the mines then upgrading the mines takes up most of the day :( And having to do that every day is just so not worth it.Quote:

IMO the new geo is not worth getting, just like the last new geo that finds an extra deposit but takes twice as long as a jolly geo. So its just like sending out a jolly geo twice except in the same time the jolly has a chance of bringing back 4 iron deposits instead of 3. (using skills) Make sense to anyone??? lol
Its good that they are trying to bring out new things but for heavens sake make them useful.
Slow geos make sense for searches that are really long and can be performed at the right time BEFORE the deposit depletes.Quote:

Of course an argument can be made on whether or not it makes sense to mine those after a certain point but still the fact that geos are slow doesnt make them useless.
The inherent problem with trade is that in order for you to buy stuff, someone else has to produce it and want to sell it to you. So at the end of the day there always has to be someone using the geos and building the mines.Quote:
