Changes to the Gem Mine and Gold Pit may be coming

[Strider]

It has come to my attention that the Gem Mine and the Gold Pit may receive a change in upgrade caps.

Instead of unlimited Gem Mine and 255 Gold Pit, both may be changed to 100.

I cannot fully translate or understand the text in German, but I will place it here for translation.

In späteren Ausbaustufen der Mine hätte (und wird) man für einen(!) weiteren Attributspunkt Bonus auf einen Stein 2-3 Ausbaustufen der Mine haben müssen.

Ob man einführt, dass man die Gebäude gleichzeitig aus- und abbauen lassen kann (ab Ausbaustufe x), wird noch diskutiert.

Here is the broken translation

So, after a conversation with your colleagues, there will be a cap on the Gold Mine and the Gemstone Mine at level 100.

From that to the calculations: The bonus height on the stones was (and will continue to be) never equal to each level upgraded.
In later expansion stages of the mine would have (and will) for a (!) Additional attribute point bonus on a stone 2-3 upgrades of the mine must have (and will).

Whether one introduces that one can let the buildings at the same time and dismantle (from expansion stage x), is still discussed.

From what I am understanding, both may be capped at 100. Both already have diminishing returns as their level reaches higher, and both may or may not allow for development and collection of gold (gold pit) and gems (gem mine) during construction.

Furthermore concerning the calculations: the gem bonus per level is not (and will not be) proportional. In later levels of the gem mine you would have (and will) get only one more point on your gems for 2-3 levels of the mine.

The question wheter to make gems and gold mineable during buildingtime is topic of ongoing discussions.

I'm currious how the gem value continues after a few levels. Did you register a sudden drop in effectivness of one minelevel Guiness?

Yes, both the gold pit and gem mine will be capped at level 100 in the next update.

It is a gradual drop

Thank you Leander, is there an expected date? Or just sometime in the Spring?

No date given, sorry. It should be easy to implement though so it might be changed in the next patch.

Still waiting for Gold Mine to be able to collect

So we are taking mines that were lvl 20, past level 25, and now to lvl 100??
and 2 weeks to build each level??

for non-shroomers yes ... for low levels gold mine will take much longer
