Access

Miner on Jobs

Miner appears on, Jobs, after you research Pickaxe on Technologies.

• You can hire Miners, after you research Pickaxe.
• Pickaxe has a requirement to access and research.

Technology required:
Technology	Requirement	Research cost
Pickaxe	build 1 Library	Wood	100
		Copper	3

You can hire Miners, after you research the required technology.

• You need 1 free Population, 50 Food and a copper Pickaxe, to hire a Miner.

Resources required:
Resource	Amount
Food	50
Pickaxe	1
Population	1

You can fire one Miner at a time, with the 'Fire 1' button. Population remains allocated, until you fire the Woodcutter.

Consumption

• A Miner consumes 0.1 Food per second.

Miners stop production, if you do not have resources to maintain them.

Resources consumed:
Consumes	Rate
Food	0.10 per second

Production

• A Miner produces Mineral and, after you research Multitasking, also produces Clay.

• Miners stop production, if you do not have resources to maintain them.

Resources produced:
Produces	Rate
Mineral	1.00 per second
Clay	0.05 per second

• Other factors increment Mineral production and increment Clay production.

Miners seem to work harder than those in other jobs. They dig underground for mineral and in open mines for clay. They like to use copper pickaxes and have a steadfast and brave disposition (unlike their distant cousins who prefer diamond picks and are worried by spiders and skeletons).
