Mine Information

The mine can be restored with 3,000 coins at level 21. It takes 1 day and 6 hours to build. You will get 128 xp after completion.

When finished it can be moved. In the mine you will see dirt, stone and rocks together with pickaxes, dynamite and the TNTs which you have got from your trains, zoo decks, or cash purchases.

Every artifact excavated in the mine brings you closer to completing a collection at the museum. You can only find 3 of any artifact and when you have 1 of every artifact you'll be rewarded with Tcash.

• 1 of all artifacts in the collection = 4 Tcash
• 2 of all artifacts in the collection = 7 Tcash
• 3 of all artifacts in the collection = 10 Tcash (Complete Collection)

Warehouse

Inside the mine you will see a blue box called "Warehouse". Your ores will be stored in the warehouse where you can see how many ores you have of each. You can sell your ores as well, but that's not a good idea. Your warehouse has unlimited storage.

Ores are taken from the warehouse when smelting ingots in the Foundry. You need 5 ores to make an ingot.

Mine Tile Types

Picture	Tile Type	Description
	Clay	Mining this gives you clay which is used to produce items in the Plastics Factory, Doll Factory, Perfume Factory and Kitchenware Factory. Note: Only use pickaxes to mine it because dynamite, TNT and explosive boxes will destroy it. Starts appearing at level 58.
	Clay (Hidden)	The clay will be lit up if you clear a tile near it. Be careful not to destroy it.
	Dirt	Takes 1 hit to remove. Save Dynamite and TNT for stone. Sometimes dirt and stone contain ores, gems, dynamite, pickaxes, etc.
	Stone	Takes 2 hits from pickaxes or dynamite to remove it. However TNT can remove stones in 1 hit.
	Stone (Hidden)	It's best to use TNT to clear areas with many stone tiles.
	Rock	Can't be removed. Usually valuable goods can be found in areas with many rocks. Look for patterns and mine carefully to avoid wasting tools.
	Explosive Box	It explodes if hit with any mining tool. It removes a big area of tiles around it, and can set off a chain reactions with other explosive boxes nearby.

Explosive Box

Tips for Explosive Boxes	Explosive Box Range
Explosives Boxes remove 8 tiles around and 4 tiles outward. 1 hit from any mining tool will detonate it. Some areas are loaded with explosive boxes and valuable goods. Only hit single explosive boxes to destroy stone or multiple dirt tiles containing ores, etc.

Mining Strategy

The ideal way would be to remove all tiles on your way down, so you don't miss any hidden treasures. However, tools are limited so you have to use tools effectively while mining. Also there are hidden holes which often hide mine goods. Another thing to note is anything that reaches the top of the mining screen that you've extracted will automatically be collected, so you don't have to worry about losing them.

Note: There's a new booster for the mine called 'See the Light' which makes ore and artifacts from the darkened areas in the mine visible. Save a lot of mining tools, so you can make the most of the booster.

Mining Efficiently

Tips for using Pickaxes	Pickaxe Preview
Pickaxes remove 1 tile at a time. Use pickaxes to dig deeper into the mine or remove tiles with mine goods. It takes 2 hits to remove stone, so it's better to use TNT in some cases. Save at least 50-100 pickaxes for Regatta mining tasks.	File:Example Pickaxe.png

Tips for using Dynamite
Dynamite removes 1 row of tiles at a time. It's best used in the middle where there's a row above and below it with hidden tiles. If there's 1 stone block you can use 1 pickaxe then dynamite to clear the row (See example below). Save at least 20-50 dynamite for Regatta mining tasks.

Tips for using TNT	Example using TNT
TNT removes a square of 3x3 tiles (8 tiles around it). TNT works best when there are many stone bricks or mine goods surrounding the area. (See example on right). Usually areas with lots of stone contain mine goods, though in some cases you can remove dirt and avoid the area. Save at least 20-50 TNT for Regatta mining tasks.

Hiring Dealer for Ores

A great way to get ores is from hiring the dealer while he's on sale (72 Tcash for 10 Days).

• You can buy 13 bronze/silver ores or 9 gold/platinum ores every hour from the dealer.
• Search back and forth between 2 types of ore until you get either 9 or 13 of the ore you need.
• Using the dealer you might not even have to mine at all, unless you want artifacts or demand is of Mining Task in Regatta.

Treasure Rooms

Hidden Treasure Room
Treasure Rooms are rarely found in the mine containing coins, treasure and cash chests. They have unique backgrounds and are surrounded in rock (Example below). Entrances are typically blocked by stone tiles, and in some cases a side can be blocked with rock.

Revealed Treasure Room
After removing the tiles blocking the entrance the Treasure Room will light up and reveal it's rewards. Treasure rooms contain at least 1 cash or treasure chest (2 treasure chests max). The coin piles give about 700-1100+ coins each.

Obtaining Mining Tools

• Some trains return with a box containing a bunch of mining tools.
• Tools are found buried in the mine itself (in chests, bottles, and tiles).
• Special green box deals on tools and materials at the City Market.
• Winning tools by playing games using clovers at the House of Luck.
• Cash chests found in friends' towns, or treasure chests brought back by ships.
• You can always use Township Cash to buy tools in the mine.
• You can win mining tools at events.
