Granite salt and titanium mines

[Pinkleet]

As far on test the cost to build those are:

Granite mine (500 units) -1500 each of Mahogany (the new exotic wood), tools and marble
Salt mine (500) - 2k each granite, tools and exo planks
Titanium mine(500) - 2k each of granite, tools, and exo planks

3x buffed gives you 1500 salt/titanium for the price of 2k granite and exo planks (tools are just fluff). It just doesn't make much sense to me. Unless you get to buff it 4x (stadium snacks) and upgrade it to run it within the buff duration (which mean even more resources).

The granite mine seems to be only reasonable to build since you can cut mahogany from extension island depos.

The other two - complete duds. Your guys thoughts on that?

the only Mine I'm interested in is the Salt mines. Then I can run my cannon forge more often +

I will probably treat the saltpeter and titanium like I do my arctic iron mine. Throw the deposits I get from adventures into it and leave it sleeping most of the time. But the chance I will run an Ali Baba adventure is about zero, so um, yeah.

Also we cannot cut mahogany, just exotic wood. But once you build the granite mason you are golden.

Last I saw, you won't even get those mines until lvl 60-62. By that level, wouldn't the titanium mine be largely useless? I mean at that point you will literally only be playing Ali Baba with the new troops in order to level up at a remotely reasonable time. How much titanium ore could you possibly got through then?

That sounds just about right.

It's going to depend on how many granite quarries there are and how fast the granite mason is. If granite becomes almost as easily available as marble is now, it won't be anywhere near as valuable as we're all used to. Same with exo planks. If we can have exo wood cutters and a couple of sawmills, it'll also be more common, less valuable. Granted 2K of each is a lot for a mine, but it remains to be seen where the price of granite and exotic wood ends up. At least we're finally getting access to salt mines!!

10min cycle on granite mason
dont worry, it will still be very valuable
remember lots of people took 1-2 years to reach level 50, will take them a very long time to hit level 60
also these new chains and level 6 buildings take a TON of granite to upgrade

but we could reduce the time needed to lvl only if a certain person resumed his guide making practice.
