Metal Mine

Metal is a crucial component for the advancement and growth of your empire. A well-developed Metal Mine is key to ensuring a consistent supply of this vital resource.

Production Rate

Metal per hour = 30 * level * 1.1 ^ level

Both Uni 2 and Uni 3 feature 2x resource production, meaning the metal production rate is twice that of Uni 1. This means that without a Metal Mine, you'll automatically produce 40 metal units per hour.

Metal Mine Cost

The mines require exponentially more resources to upgrade them to the next level, according to the fromula:

Metal cost = 40 * 1.5 ^ level

Crystal cost = 10 *1.5 ^ level
