Lucky Find, Iron Mining Surplus and Two Iron in One skills are mutually exclusive.

After few weeks trying on marble deposits my geologist with "lucky find" skill, I did find extra marble deposits. 3 times actually in 2 different spots in sector 9 and sector 4. So skill works on marble deposits without many issues. I still am unlucky finding extra iron deposit.

So I was wondering what differs my marble deposits from iron deposits. There were 2 factors. 1st was the arctic mine with 8k iron ore, so I depleted it and let it collapse. 2nd is me having 4 more iron deposits on additional small islands. I have no way to abandon those small island sectors. The mechanic of the game is not allowing demolishing the last storage in sector.

I think this is bug. Serious bug, which was introduced with new island map updated with the small islands. So why devs can't fix it on my island?

It is like 4th month I am sending my geologist with "lucky find" skill and not discovering any extra iron deposit at all.

Five months is a little on the long side when it comes to RNG. I've forwarded your findings about this issue to the devs - thank you for your continued feedback.

Hi!

I skilled about half year ago one of my jolly geologists with "Lucky Find" skill. From this time I am using it exclusively in my daily searches for new iron deposits. However I never found the extra iron deposit that suppose to be located in sector 8. For period of 2 weeks I used the same "Lucky" geologist to search for marble, because I was under impression the skill does not work at all, but it did. It found me 3 extra marble deposits in 2 extra locations. The support, which I contacted told me the "barren" periods of searches with "Lucky" skill can be max 2-3 weeks, but in my case it is more like months then weeks. Recently I checked on few players, who can constantly find the extra iron deposit in sector 8. They either did not conquer the small islands or did not buy all small island sectors so...

Can anyone, who bought with beans and gems all small island sectors like I did, confirm, that the extra iron deposit in sector 8 is still possible to discover with "Lucky Find" skill?

Merged.

I've talked with people on my server, who can't find extra iron deposit. Like me they have bought the sectors on small islands for gems. They have noticed that not only extra iron deposit is failing to show up. There is also another discrepancy. On small islands there is one sector (it is bought with beans) with 3 iron deposit slots in which 2 iron deposits interchangeably appear. After purchasing the 3 extra small island sectors for gems, the 2 iron deposits are showing up constantly in only 2 out of those 3 iron deposit places. It is like 1 of those deposit places was disabled for iron deposit to show up in. On my island I never found iron deposits in all 3 of those iron deposit places. Only in 2, but then my first sectors on small island I bought mostly with gems.
