One of the extra options you get is not worth the extra cost IMO, and the main appeal of these types of games for me is unlocking better options to use, and those options have to actually be better in a use case I can imagine using. The mine requires more resources to make, and doesn't perform better than basic workers which only cost 5 coins to make.Īnd for basically the cost of a mine, and using more commonly used iron products than pickaxes, you can make harvester drills, which, while they cost 2 pop, have an inventory of 12, which means that they are 6 times as fast as 2 workers, and 12 times as fast as 2 pop in a mine. (i'm thinking 20 planks and 20 stone bricks)Īnd the forester is way better than the mine. You literally pay over a minutes worth of resources to make a building that literally makes your population less efficient at extracting resources for wood, at about half the rate.

Thought 1: this makes a whole lot of comparing across resources easier, as until you run into resource depletion, a raw resource is a raw resource.Ģ: this shows how bad buildings are without synergies. To be precise, they all cost 4 work units (4 seconds of 1 pop working with no benefits) and a bit more than 2 seconds of worker time (but with some walking there) (this is because it takes 1 second for workers to load and unload their inventory)

Hey, with the removal of coins as a requirement for making stuff in buildings, all raw resources used for building cost the same per item.
