mining & smelting speed

Hi,

with the change to shipments now favouring mining and smelting, are you happy with the current throughput they receive?

I spent 2 hours farming some ore's today, and it estimates all work will be completed in 22 days, 9 hours and 55 minutes.

That's pretty slow progress for 2 hours farming..
Seems a long time to wait for any rewards.

Can we increase the speed these guys mine & smelt bars?

You should make right atlas tree mark bismuth abd Verisium there. After you need 12 lvl 5 miners - 2 at each besides Bism and Veri where you should have 3 miners. When achieved- you’ll start sending 50 million shipments and get mirror shards. GL
I made a post about this earlier..........

We went from previous leagues where we didnt have enough gold to sustain the kingsmarch mechanic, to a point now where we have too much gold to sustain the mechanic and the workers are too slow.

I have over 30 million gold and stopped interacting with the kingsmarch mechanic outside mappers because it will take too long to sustain ore.

This really shows that GGG doesnt play or really play much of the league in the grand scheme, yeah they might test a thing or two, but these sorta issues come from genuinely blasting and the fact it hasnt changed and only gotten worse in some cases is wild to me.

If you play or blast kingsmarch these problems have been evident since day 1 of settlers league.

Yes and no,

Eventually you reach a bottleneck like I did where you make too much gold, too fast for the kingsmarch as a whole to keep up.

I can do a map and make nearly a million gold per map, and nothing in kingsmarch can keep up and its really annoying. Youll just stack gold and its a afk waiting game for all the workers, even at max rank and min-maxed for wage.

Even with the refinement scarab, that scarab really helps but its not enough, I think there should be a atlas passive kingsmarch wheel for just job speed in general sorta like the heist job speed equipment but I dont want kingsmarch to turn into another heist shitshow

there is literally a scarab to resolve this problem already.
