Private mines. I bought one, and this is what I found...

(1/3) > >>

codave:
I was interested in buying a private mine, but didn't find really any information on the Wiki except for where to buy and how much they cost. So, I got some caps together and purchased one from the Junktown mine overseer. All the information The wiki on private mines is here -> http://fo2238.fodev.net/wiki/Mines#Private_Mines

So, for 75k here is what I got:

Outside


Inside


Even though I bought it near Junktown, the private mine is located in the Redding area. Inside the shack there is a table with "Stuff" on it, that I can store items in. There is also a waterpipe outside, though I don't know if the waterpipe depletes or not since I haven't used it yet.

Of course, knowing that the resources would deplete I mined the thing until it was completely depleted, and saved all my gathered materials. The final count was 148 minerals, and 109 iron ore. This is NOT a HQ mine, just standard ore and minerals.

Other things to note are that it is indeed private. I had two friends tagged on me, and right next to the mine overseer when I bought the thing. They also traveled to the mine for the first time with me, and they do not have access to it unless I take them there. There is no way to give them access.

So, basically I have a really nice private area that cost me 75,000 caps. For mining, it isn't worth it for the price. Stick to the unlimited public mines. If you want an extra private area to store items or park cars, well, then the value is subjective and you can make that determination yourself.

Whether or not the location or number of resources available is typical, I don't know. This is just my experience, and I thought I would post it since there isn't much info on the Wiki about it.

Lizard:
Ah, and you can get your slaves to mine the mats. Due to a bug, they mine unlimited materials.
Just don't touch the mine with your own hammer and they will dig minerals OR ore forever, depends what they get first. And don't be in a faction with Bunker, or the bug won't occur.

Ah, devs, before you get to 'fix' this, why is the total cost of gathered materials lower than total cost of the mine?

falloutdude:
private mine is allways  near redding this is not new. in total you should be getting 1000 normal ores in all if you mine yourself.

you get a private place to leave loot near redding this to me is way worth 75k even without the ore's. its kinda a private base for loners. mine will never disapear like tent either.

I got nothing close to 1000 anything.

It is worth the cost just for the extra place to store things, especially near Redding.  But, if it's bought only for mining... not worth the cost, is all I was saying. Also, I found no information stating that the location was always near Redding, so I was unaware of this.

Rascal:
if u need space to store items/cars u make tent for bramin hides - not spending 75k for ridculous pritave mine....
