I traveled so much.

I traveled north as far as I can go and I am still going. I haven't seen a tree chopped down for a good supergrid. I have about 9 more uses of rustroot extract unless I can find more water. STILL no mines.

I could start walking west to reach the end of the world, because I pretty far west from Constantinople. But I have a nice little deal going on where i'm at and I don't want to lose the half a supergrid I have totally to myself.

[TheRussianB]

Down to my last one. Here goes nothing.

[theTrav]

try caves, try inside the super grids rather than on the borders, try spaces away from rivers.

Hit the edge then prospect along it is probably the first thing people think of when they want to find a mine.

[keyn_thror]

When you prospect, you search for metal raw deposits.
Mines, if they are built, are not detected by prospecting.

Trust me, there ARE metals in new supergrids.
Just some pioneers who found them first, have already built mines over deposits, so nobody else could find them, except for being so lucky to find them by direct visual contact
