Magnetite
I have a suggestion for the programers. If hematite can be gathered by drills and pickaxe, why can't magnetite and taconite be gathered with similar tools and machines too? I think it's quite unfair. I think it should be fixed up soon.
Do other Cantr-maniaks (like me ) agree with me? What do you think of it?

I always hoped that magnetite and taconite would become alternative iron ores of different efficiency.
Maybe the lack of drill represent that difference?
Of course, I would probably feel differently if I sat on magnetite or taconite. Or actually thought it worthwhile to build drills.

I just looked at the wiki and I think there is a difference (there is a list of numbers but it doesn't explicitly map them onto the resources). Each one produces a different amount of iron ore.

Yeey! Accepted! Hope you will implement it fast
Hmmm... I think that there shouldn't be any difference. But... what about difference in number of gathering? Hematite can be gathered 750g/day (iron ore would be 525 g = 70% * 700g), Magnetite could be gathered for ex. 875g/day (iron ore 525g = 60% * 875g) and tactonite 1050g/day (iron ore 525g = 50% * 1050g)
But as I said at the beginning I think it isn't a good idea with making these minerals different.

That is effectivly the same difference that we have now. They all are gathered at 750g/d but give different amounts of iron ore. So effectively you are harvesting amounts of 'iron ore potential' per day for each resource.
Personally I think the type of difference is fine. It allows for some placed to be more iron rich then others. Perhaps it could be a little more exaggerated, or perhaps not.

We could exaggerate the differences, but then we would just be "punishing the players" who happen to be located around taconite and magnetite locations. And haven't we been doing enough of that lately?

Aha, but you would miss the point there. I originally hoped that these resources would be in addition to the spread of hematite, so that these harder variants would be a bonus where there before had been nothing, not replacing hematite.wichita wrote:We could exaggerate the differences, but then we would just be "punishing the players" who happen to be located around taconite and magnetite locations.

Anyway, that was just what I hoped. Doesn't really matter now.
