    Iron Ore mines won't deplete or be found

    I have two ore mines that report "Exhausted" AND have 550 Iron Ore in them. lol. The explorer can't find a new vein AND the mines don't give resources. Anyone else have this? Both of mine are in sector 8.

    Usual refresh does not work.

    Mine problems.

    Yeah, same stuff. Note that it is not limited to s8. My snapshot is in s3:

    Mine issues.

    Also, it turns out that you can go ahead and place a mine over it and the trash goes away.

    Oh, and for the benefit of any BB folk who might be interested, I have noted that is only seems to happen to one of the mines discovered by geologists who are using (and activate) the skill, "Two Iron in One." The second mine, also in the same sector, is appropriately identified in the screenshot. To assure these were the mated mines, I verified my other 14 mines did NOT have that skill activated on them.

    I had some in sector 6. They were also the 2 iron in 1 discoveries. I just forgot to save my screen-shot!

    The fix I used was to tear down the abandoned mine and then rebuild on top. That seems to work. It wouldn't let me rebuild directly on the abandoned mine (even though it showed a new vein).

    Found same thing: Verify that the mine has been rediscovered by hovering the mouse over the mine to see that there is ore in the deposit, and you may build on top. More of a nuisance than anything.

    ok im taking it back... the one at the top north of sec 8 will not allow me to build after its refound. last night it was refound, no new 'icon' but the 550 overtop of the exhausted mine icon (didn't they fix this in the last maintenance i thought?) -- it will not allow me to build on that mine till i refresh - which is really inconvenient. there is another mine in s6 and another in s3 that also fail to load th correct graphics after being found - but they do allow me to build over the bad graphics.

    Hi everyone,

    Our programmers are working on it, I will post something in the forums as soon as we are ready to implement improvements.
