Stone Quarry

Stone Quarry

Overview[]

The Stone Quarry generates stone at a certain rate per hour.  It is used to buy certain traps and upgrade certain rooms.

If the Stone Quarry reaches storage capacity, it will not generate any more stone until it is collected.

A Stone Quarry costs 150 gold to claim.

Notes[]

  • Generates Stone
  • Entry point for invaders
  • Uncollected Stone is more vulnerable to theft, be sure to collect it often!
  • Bolstering increases Stone production
  • Upgrading Stone Quarries may be required to upgrade certain buildings. This can be avoided with the Room Sale, though this is rare and only occurs 3-4 times per year
  • If a Gem Vein next to a mine has been dug out, it can no longer be shut sealed shut again. A path must always run to it even if it is unclaimed
  • It is recommended for new players to avoid claiming all 4 stone quarries, leave one unclaimed to help protect your dungeon such as the centre left one
  • With room sales, it is possible to reach max level buildings with only 3 stone quarries

1 Break Even Days is how long, from the time you start the upgrade, until you have the same amount of stone as if you didn't do the upgrade.  Simply put, how long until you are making more than you would have by not upgrading.

Note - Max level is 35
