Who Knew Drilling was so Profitable? Not Me! | Ep. 6 | Gold Mining Simulator

[@Tom-f5q8e]

You can zoom in gold map to see closer, theres like 16 holes/square. Once you drilled every square, you go back to drill most of square to maybe collect nuggets. i Got 20K gr. of gold for the old rented parcel. Also, you need to keep drill close to digging spot so you can see what youre digging and avoid bad spots. Great vid.

[@pricelessmakoa4482]

I also found out that once you find out what the best spots of gold are, you can go to the gold map and click the square to highlight it, then hit the “toggle square” button and the gold square will now be highlighted during gameplay (so you can see where the good gold spots are without having to check the map) It’s useful for when you stop drilling and it’s just time to dig

[@QuadThumbs]

Oh thats really helpful! Wont have to keep switching back and forth with the map 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼 Thanks!

[@Nedreck11]

Drill the square up to 3 times when you find your first nugget

[@VeliusCoba]

@12:30 you got plenty of nice spots you should be digging and running. toss the drill for now.

U can upgrade the smelting building smelting will be cheaper and u can make bigger gods bars instead of 20 ounces

[@pricelessmakoa4482]

Also, for your next set of equipment just go to your book and find the page where it shows you how to hog pan. In the bottom right corner you can flip the page to “tier 3” That’s the set of equipment you need “tier 3” It’ll tell you everything you need to buy Also, 100% get the big excavator and the bigger mobile wash plant. Run that until you can afford to go tier 3 (cuz 100k won’t do it)

[@QuadThumbs]

Thanks! Yeah it didnt seem 100k was going to cut it haha! And I forgot about the journal. 👊🏼

[@Dutch_Extreme]

Looking at your gold map where there is gold near the front I suggest to go for a open pit so you will need the frontloader and the dumptruck and the complete tier 3 setup and your golden

[@timothysmith1951]

So what you see in the drill log is what the total amount in the square. Now depending on the equipment you are using is what you will get out of that square. Now the only one you get 100% if you mine the (right way) is the tier 6 (orange beast). What you have currently you lose a massive amount of gold if as long as you mine properly. I'm glad to see you grabbed the normal drill.

[@KozlowskiW1984]

Nope. How can you use OB outside off the Waterfall?

[@timothysmith1951]

@@KozlowskiW1984 you can't it's locked to only waterfall

[@KozlowskiW1984]

@timothysmith1951 I know that. So you can't tell that amount of gold in the reports on first 5 parcell's are achievable only for tier 6 when you can't use tier 6

[@timothysmith1951]

@KozlowskiW1984 my bad I forgot to mention that. But i don't think he's going to make it to ob in this play through considering that he's playing in LB mode also the price to to get to wf and ob.

[@samr8833]

Get the big excavator and the big mobile wash plant they work well together don’t bother with the small excavator.

[@Strykehammer]

If you keep some unprocessed gold, you can pay your rent from it. Saves you some processing costs.

[@timothysmith1951]

If you want advice for the tier 3 wash plant I'll list it below if not don't worry about; Send everything you have to storage (it not everything will brake). Then sleep 😴 until permafrost, you will know when this is because it won't let you sleep anymore. Then you can go rent and buy the equipment you need for next year. Some things you buy outright; 2 T-DJ sluicebox 1 S-Rocks sluicebox 1 S-T sluicebox Rent these; 1 of each Trommel (nothing else unless you want to upgrade) Shaker (unless you want to upgrade) Big excavator (huge one is better but might be out of your price range you will want to buy this eventually) Rent 2 duplex jigs (unless you want to upgrade if you do skip the planter (worthless) and go to the gravel pumps) If you have enough money buy but if you don't rent these 1 each you will need to buy outright eventually so keep track of what you buy and rent they don't tell you; Big fuel tank Big power generator conveyor belt Conveyor belt's hopper At the other store you will need a bunch of cables but you will need a water pump get the big diesel water pump. It brakes down less often. Ok now after buying the water pump go back to the other store and transfer to old Arnold and then transfer to storage or drive it to old Arnold and to back to the store and transfer it to storage. If not everything will break on it. Ok from here to go the bank grab the largest loan possible and spread it out with the longest payment length you can so it doesn't hurt went the payments start coming out as you set up the plant and start mining the 1st couple of in game days. Good luck 👍 Mine away pay off the loan but before you make any extra payments be mindful of the claim rent of all gold (except nuggets) is 30%for old Arnold.

[@OMG2020]

with the drilling the big one as you found out gets the nuggets and drills deeper. The small one drills faster and is cheaper. each square has 16 drill spots so technically you could get 16 nuggets per square but rng plays a big roll in that. so you can drill multiple time in each square but you need to move for it to give you a chance at a nugget. from all the testing people have done there seems to be no limit to the amount of nuggets you can get. that said I believe you can get all the parts of the tier 3 wash plant for about 400K. you need 1 trommel, 2 jigs, the shaker, 1 rock sluice, 1 st sluice and 2 tj sluice boxes the ones with the little wings. Then you also need the power generator and the excavator and dump truck. if you want to really have it all working then also get the hopper and conveyor as well. last but not least you need 12 miner moss, 6 moss grates, 4 of the other grates, 1 blue hose, at least 1 but 2 red hoses, a huge splitter, small water splitter, small power splitter at least 5 big power cables and 2 small power cables. very lastly you need a water pump which will take at least another blue hose. dont forget you need a bunch of buckets.

[@QuadThumbs]

Super helpful, thanks!

[@dewaldswanepoel2577]

I'm wondering if I should get the mini mining dlc

[@timothysmith1951]

Also nuggets don't count towards LB gold #

[@Dutch_Extreme]

We all did mate 😂 that’s why we told you!❤

[@haeywoo]

"im filling myself" hahahahaha

[@timothysmith1951]

Also the mini only goes down 5m where the regular will go down 30m. This is important because waterfall is 80m deep (lol 😅). But this is sad and I'm so sorry 😞 I sorry I didn't mention this to you about the mini and nuggets.

[@QuadThumbs]

😂 no worries. But thats quite a difference, and wow. 80m ddep is wild 😅 i dont think ive actually dug outside Old Arnolds

[@timothysmith1951]

Oh no. You dont get nuggets with the mini drill. I should have told you that. 😢

[@QuadThumbs]

😂 no worries. It was fun checking out that little thing anyway!

[@Nedreck11]

dont get the truck yet. You are thinking too big right now. Portable washplant and excavator. Work your way up to the big stuff. Leaderboard does not payout that great in gold nuggets. Take what everyone tells you with a pinch of salt.

[@johnnyadcock5962]

Don't know the difference between the 2 drills? You versus the friend she says you don't have to worry about.

[@QuadThumbs]

🤣💀

[@paulharsh78]

Magnetite being broken is unfortunate, no upgrades.

[@QuadThumbs]

Oh is it currently broken in the game?

[@timothysmith1951]

@paulharsh78 what are you talking about magnetite is not broken at all. Works just fine.

[@pricelessmakoa4482]

@@QuadThumbs it’s not broken. He probably thinks the fact that it doesn’t go up on the side of the screen means it’s not collecting, but it is. He’s got to dump his magnetite buckets into a magnetite trailer then take it to the factory in order to see how much he has total and purchase upgrades with it

[@dewaldswanepoel2577]

God bless everyone, and have a wonderful day

[@QuadThumbs]

Yes absolutely dewaldswanepoel, you have a wonderful day as well 👊🏼
