What the Mining Cart Does
The Mining Cart is a passive efficiency structure: while one is placed in your base, all mining work at that base is faster. It doesn't need power, doesn't need a pal assigned to it, and doesn't need to sit next to your ore nodes — simply having it anywhere in the base radius applies the bonus.
How to Use It
- Build exactly one per base. As the in-game description says, placing more than one has no additional effect.
- It must be placed within your base's radius to count.
- Prioritize it at dedicated mining outposts — bases parked on ore, coal, or sulfur clusters get the most value from it.
Tips
The Mining Cart is one of a family of one-per-base efficiency boosters, each covering a different work type. If your base focuses on other production, look at the Stump and Axe for logging, the Large Toolbox for handiwork, the Flower Bed for gathering, or the Water Fountain for watering. A well-developed base usually wants the booster matching its primary output.
