Equipment

Equipment can be mined from the Equipment mine in Harmond. Equipment is used to improve your BPH (buckets per hour). BPH is the rate that you mine at. If you have a BPH of 40, you will dig out 40 buckets of dirt an hour. For approximately every 200 buckets mined, you will make a finding. Each bucket of dirt has a chance of containing an item, so the higher your BPH the more items you will get. Equipment is available in 6 colors and comes in seven different types (Drill, Pickaxe, Light, Cart, Boots, Toolbelt and Hardhat) ranging from:


 * Flimsy (+1)
 * Standard (+2)
 * Hardy (+3)
 * Crafted (+4)
 * Fabled (+5)
 * Legendary (+7)

Each bot (1 bot per mine) uses different equipment. Your top priority mine will be mined with the best equipment available in that city, the second mine with the second best etc. Each bot can only use 1 of each type of equipment, and extra equipment does not benefit you after all your bots are equipped. You have 3 bots total.

If you want a major boost to your mining speed, purchasing an extra mine (via gold or credits) is a good idea. A mine can be very expensive, but purchasing a second Starter mine is the equivalent of having SIX "Fabled" level equipments.
