Title: Sharing Location of Private Mines
Post by: Badger on March 30, 2010, 08:17:50 pm
How do you share the location of personal mines? We've tried taking people there, nothing.

Hello, first post here and as I see there's allready a thread up about the subject so here we go..

Been trying the game out with some new found friends for the last couple of weeks and we now after  the restart-wipe got our selves a gang, a base and finaly now even a mine, except it looks like the mine is sadly not that usefull, as I've gathred so far..

- first, its personal, not tied to the gang but to a single individual, the one that payed the cash, which is a huge let down (though some thing we did expect it might turn out to be, but we had to try as we dident find any information on it).

- second, its quite far away from where we are operating and where expecting it would be, mostly on the grounds that the bases you buy actually appear around where the vendor for them are, not the case of mines appearently.

- last, it has nothing of high quality, just the regular ore and minerals, and are as such not that usefull at all, specially as it's so far away, and I cant really gather why some one really would want one if that is indeed the case that it only contains normal ore and minerals (except for slave mining).

Aside from that I like the progress of the game, you're doing a great job and the current changes from pre-wipe is slowly making quite a lot of sense as we sort them out. Now I just hope that some one can bring some clarity on the topic of bought mines and if all that I've gathred so far is true will there be any changes to them (placement, high quality content and making them gang specific)?



Thanks.

Where to buy this kind of mine?

At the NCR mining station, west of NCR. Talk to the guy in the shed and I think it is 75 000 caps.

In every guarded mine is a foreman, who sells mining positions.

Is there any difference in quality or ores/minerals, location and so on depending on from which foreman you buy your mine from, or is it all just more or less random?

The mines are fine, except two important things:

-- it would nice to see them faction-based, not personal;

-- It's fine with them that there are no HQ resources, but throw in respawning basic resources and a workbench with a couple of lockers for tools -- and they'll be worth their price.

Don't know exactly, but is not so much...
The mine of my friend ran out of resources after a week of use, I guess.

Dam how much did he mine it?
IF he constantly went at it or ????
because its should be well worth over 75k,
because you still got to mine it like regular one only advantage is its private
