Iron mine- missed opportunity? or future expansion?

Post by Crashmac »

So, I've spent a few hours on Silverrun now and visually it's quite a nice map, "most" sell points are nicely detailed and realistic including a great iron ore mine compete with abandoned rail line. Seems to me that using lumber and Iron to build railway ties and rails and re-open the rail line and allow you to ship iron ore by train would have been a nice logical feature.

I agree I was hoping that the old "ore" mine would have been a construction feature like the boat year and rollercoaster were. But I guess Giant's figured that by giving us the new ore facility for free it wasn't needed. I would have loved to see the old ore carts in action and slowly dropping off ore at a certain point.
Have been playing FS since FS 2011 came out and still going strong. *thumbsup*

Hi crash. Is there a tunnel in to the mine or is it blocked off like most mine maps?

It´s blocked. The SilverRun is very nice map in my opinion too, but economy might be too easy even in hard settings for me. I think it´s very weird that mine gives iron ore for free.

There is a tunnel, you can go in a short way but its blocked not far in.

And why this map is called SILVERrun is totally beyond me. IRONrun? WOODrun? FORESTrun? COASTERrun? RIVERrun?

silver can be a metaphor for the river streams, additionally forest management is called silviculture.

Agreed on the idea of a further production and it being too easy to make money on Silverun. I was actually dissapointed at how easy it was to build the roller coaster and that it really didn't take too many trees (I think I only bought 3 or 4 plots of land?)
Proudly playing since FS13
