Miners pack

Postby HolyLight » Mon Feb 23, 2015 10:32 pm

I am considering buying this pack, however the item "Miner's Support Beam --Larger Cave In Prevention Radius-- " raises a question for me.

Is this a one use item?.

Thanks

Seems alot less useful than other main items from cash shop packs then.

Guess if you was able to remove then re-use it, it would have some use, as a single use item and the new system would be pointless.

Will have to wait i guess untill something else crops up.

Thanks alloin.

The radius is pretty big. But then again so is the amount of boulders people are digging. It might be the weaker of the items but I do like to think the real reason to buy those packs is to guarantee the tool you want. And the other stuff is the bonus.

I will say that my friend adores his prospector pan - he wont even look at the normal ones since he got this one.

Why this is very true, i do personally feel the miners support beams needs a small adjustment (every other cash shop packs 1st item is much much more versitile), even as i said being able to move it around, you would need to place another support beam in its place when you move it, but it is for more larger digging radius on the move.

Im not currently sifting rubble to want the pan atm. Maybe a few more weeks when i have dug deeper i would have a use for it, i was more interested in the beam at this moment in time.

Thanks for the reply

Well, there is also the added bonus that when mining you could always carry the beam with you, so that if you get some last minute 'cave in' that you were not expecting, that you are able to right click and instantly place it.

And again, the range is quite nice. But sure, I did consider it the weakest terrain object that we have implemented yet for the store. Just not so weak that it wasn't 'worth it'.

Unless the radius is 50 tile or something, i would personally keep it as a novelty rather than use it..

Or try to at least get 2 to make some kind of mine shrine entrance using them.
