Mine

Special buildings Horse ranch

The mine is a reliable passive source of gold and of materials for horse equipment as long as you have enough mining permits, and higher levels only multiply that benefit.

What it's for

By using the mine for production you can earn farm dollars and even gold. You can obtain the licenses required for mining either through production in the mill or from special Prime Days. You can also use the mine to produce tin and copper ore to improve your horse equipment (available from player level 60).

Produces

Clay

Rocks

White sand

The mine is a special building on the horse ranch where you convert the mining permits you earn at the mill or during the Prime Day event into farm dollars or straight into gold. On top of that you mine clay, nuggets and white sand there, and from level 60 also copper and tin ore for upgrading horse equipment. You don't buy it in the shop, you get it automatically as part of the horse ranch at level 7. It's a bonus income stream, not a pillar of your farm economy.

When to build it

Since you can't buy it in the shop, the first step is simply to wait for level 7, when you get level 1 for free. Level 2 costs 10000 dollars and 20 minutes of construction, so it's worth putting up as soon as you hit level 11, it's cheap and quick.

Is it worth upgrading

Levels 3 to 5 cost progressively more gold, from 19500 up to 49500, and construction stretches from 8 hours 20 minutes to just under two days, but they're worth it, because at the top level you convert permits into gold or dollars in a single day instead of two days and two hours, and clay, nugget and white sand production speeds up noticeably too.

Tip from a veteran player Stockpile mining permits in advance from production at the mill and from Prime Day events, because without them even an upgraded mine sits there doing nothing for you.

Most common mistake Players put off upgrading the mine because they treat it as a side building, and in doing so they keep gold and dollars locked up in slow production far longer than they need to.
