good game but has some flaws.
- not totally idle
---wish it was that way if i left the page and came back i would still earn gold wile i was away
- upgrading is a bit sketch
-there should be more choices
otherwise its a pretty good game hope a second one comes out with new stuff and fixes the not so good stuff

could you add indications of the average in/out-flow of the various components? I'd like to be able to identify the bottlenecks.

Equi4: Actually thats an awful math, to begin with the ratio to keep between the workforce and the sluice box throughput rate is approx 5.4, that means every 5.4 workforce you need to upgrade the sluice box by 1. Your scenario is true if the worker teleported with the bucket of dirt from the digging site to the Temporal Storage, you need to add the time one takes to fetch from site to site. That meaning is not the same to have 2 workers with the output of 10 than 1 of 20, but if you keep a good balance between price/benefit from employment+worker and worker capacity then the ratio should be roughly 5.4. Also I am taking into account that the "digger" delivers the necessary amount of dirt to the sluice box that should be 1/3rd of the throughput rate by the animation span.

It would be nice 2 see some small starting upgrades like a new showel or/and bucket or shoes for speed... Each 20-40$ to get some small acceleration for your character st start....

Good game, but you can easily make many important changes like e.g:
Give the houses signs; put the staff and management together; Make more design changes as you progress; More upgrades like ropebelt conveyors; Salary is better than slavery; balancing (sluice box); story; Did I forget something? Go for an awesome game instead of a good one.

I have to agree re: the sluice box being a bit out of scale for upgrade costs, but overall this is great for idle gaming.

I don't have to pai my workers?...Ok I usually hate slavery but in this case...
and why aren't there Upgrades fr shovels or for the walking speed or something to bring the soil faster to the temporary storage than walking men...please give us more upgrades

You start the game with 0 money so the first 5 minutes you can only watch your miner walk back and fourth until you have enough to do something.... boring!

I don't know what it is, but sifting for gold is really attractive to me. Were this anything else, I might not even care. I don't even like gold.

Another bad thing about this game there is not option to be able to say stop some workers. Meaning you have 60 workers and the work load is abit much for the sluice box to keep up with the amount thats coming in, you can't pull say 10 workers off for abit to give the sluice box a chance to catch up

There are alot of scaling issues with this game. 1: the Sluice box upgrading it is fine and dandy but it should also increase the amount found. Granted it does this but at such a small scale you have really be bored to sit here and wait. (( yes I fall into that category of boredom. 2: 30+ workers with a max cap of 2.9 to carry not to bad considering they carry a pale and shovel. But the Amount carried should also add a Slight increase in gains adding with the sluice box. 3:Prices....well as you can see from other comments they get astronomical for what little gain the current upgrades give almost to a point where it is like set the game to run walk away and wait until tomorrow and if your lucky you have enough for a upgrade saved. 4: There needs to be better equipment in game to increase gold finding aka amounts gained from Sluice box clean out. Better gear for digging with etc etc.

Sluice Box seriously needs to be fixed. Ruins the game VERY quickly. Could have been a really good game with a little tinkering. 2/5 as is :(

I've watched my little guy walk between the brown lake thing to the smaller brown lake thing a few times. The other guy moves his shovel occasionally. But nothings happening.

Couple things I'd like to see worked on. First of all there should be an option to select lower quality or something, you are supposed to get a clean out and price change ever 30 seconds but for me it's more like a minute to a minute and a half because I can't set the quality to low. Secondly the sluice box needs reworked because as you go higher up for worker upgrades you actually get more for the money you spend but the sluice box is a linear upgrade of 1 each time, that causes it to become more unbalanced as you continue to play. Lastly I'd like to see the chance to buy other claims and maybe go to slightly different maps with more gold content in them or something like that.

I just sold 83 ingots at $1753 per ounce and was only able to upgrade my throughput rate from 97 to 108. At this rate it'd be more efficient for me to just never upgrade stuff again and just gradually get more ingots.

For all of the retards that say "Oh I tabbed out, and I can't keep the game running, 0 stars." Open a new window, not a new tab.
