A Few Tips On GOLD PRODUCTION Part 2

Hi!

So we saw on the previous post that having LEVEL 2 FAST gold mines is really the way to go. If you can't do it now - you should aim for it in the near future IF you want to go down the gold production route.

So now we have level 2 FAST gold mines.

But what should we do? Buff with BADGES? Or BASKETS?

Well, since both yield more or less the same thing we can have 2 deciding factors:
1 - we do not want to spend masses of hwp, marble and gold ore to make Badges.
2 - we want to save as many licenses as possible...

My personal choice is the second one. I have built my hwp and marble prod as much as I reasonably can. I feel I can do more with the extra license that following the Badge strategy will give me.

Let us examine this strategy more closely (in 3 steps):

Step 1
A Badge is a triple buff, right? So that means that TWO gold mines TRIPLE buffed give out the SAME ORE amount than THREE gold mines DOUBLE buffed (minus the gold ore you will use to make the badges themselves...)

So it's mines to build overal. You're saving not only in the resources to build them - but also on licenses. ;)

So that's step 1. Two gold mines BADGE buffed produce the same as 3 gold mines BASKET buffed (give or take).


Step 2
So what about Gold Smelters?!
Funny thing isn't it? The same thing applies... 2 gold smelters triple buffed produced as many gold bars as 3 gold smelters double buffed...
With two great advantages: you save an extra license (if you were to have 3 gold smelters instead of two) - and all those costly upgrades... BUT you also save LOADS of COAL (and buffs...). As you probably know Gold Smelters soak up coal like nobody's business...

What does this mean?!
This means that with just 2 gold smelters triple buffed (placed in good positions) you can actually keep THREE (yes, that's right, 3!) COINAGES going...

That's Step 2. You BADGE Gold Smelters and you can have more COINAGES running!

Step 3
Step 3, of course, is simply: BADGE COINAGES AS WELL!


This is the second part of gold production. If you get to fast gold mines and you have the resources to back them up, you will be able to have a lot more gold ore, gold bars and coins being produced!

To run 3 coinages, 2 gold smelters and 2 FAST gold mines (all you need to keep the 3 coinages running!) you will need PER DAY:

TWO level 2 gold mines
2x 1400 hwp = 2.8k hwp
2x 1400 marble = 2.8k marble
2x 1500 tools + 2x 500 tools = 4k tools

To buff everything: 2x 7 BADGES = 14 Badges
14x 300 hwp = 4.2k hwp
14x 300 marble = 4.2k marble
14x 50 gold ore = 700 gold ore

The Badges will also take some 7h to produce in the Rarity Provision House.

In TOTAL you will need to be producing:
7k hwp
7k marble
4k tools
700 gold ore

EVERYDAY too keep these going smoothly. So, if you're going down this route, make sure you level up buildings, keep them buffed and boost up your various productions accordingly.

NOTE:
Only run gold production when BUFFED! When buffs run out - PAUSE IT! Then re-buff and restart ;)

Hope this helps!
