4 Gold Mines. 4 Coking Plants or 2 Coal Mines. 2 Gold Smelters and 1 Coinage.

You only need 1 smelter per coinage, because it will always run buffed.

Buffed -- smelter produces 2 bars every 12 min
Coinage requires 4 bars every 24 min

He didn't asked anything about it being buff. if he wants it buffed 24/7 he only need 1 of each... So chillax >.>

There is no "if" in this scenario.
If u have a gold chain running, it is buffed, period.

Some people don't care about buffs and they just let it run.

if u let a gold line run unbuffed dont bother building it up too high, and dont bother buying parrots/gold depos, as u will not be producing enough gc to make a profit doing so. lamosos has it correct, there is no 'if' in buffing a gold line if you want to move beyond 1 mine, 1 smelter and 1 coinage. unbuffed, u will never make a profit

You guys are simply not getting it... He asked the Basic RAITO... NOTHING MORE... Im sure he isn't that dumb anyways.

I'm still new, but right now based on the numbers in these gold chain threads it makes no sense to mine gold.

First gold deposit I found was 300. But it costs 1400 hw and 1400 mbl to rebuild the mine after it runs out. On Ares that much marble and hardwood is worth about 224 gc. So that's a net of 76 gc not even counting the cost of all the coal and buffs etc. needed to run it.

But also the up front cost of building the smallest gold chain (one building each with buffs) is about 944 gc in hardwood and marble. (Much more if not buffed!)

So you're operating at a loss until the 13th time you rebuild a gold mine.

Meanwhile, even when you start profiting, you have to make up for what you could have been earning cranking out marble and hardwood during that whole time with almost no up front costs? Heck, just mass producing brew and converting the excess to coins seems to be more economical than raw gold production, though I haven't run the numbers.

Maybe at higher levels the economics work out differently?

in a more advanced economy like we have on zeus server its a lot more worth it. the marble and hwp isnt worth anywhere near tht amount on zeus...actually jus calced it out, lvl1 gold mine is bout 120gc worth of materials here on zeus
