Mines Auction #

Gemstone mine auctions add an element of competition and strategy to the gameplay. Participating in auctions and mining gems requires good preparation, planning and strategic thinking to maximize your profit. You can learn more about the types of mines, the regulations for their development, the resources mined at the mines and their use in the relevant section.

Gemstone mining process #

The process of mining gems in the game includes several stages:

Geological research #

State geologists conduct research to determine the location of gemstone mines. When such deposits are discovered, the mines go up for auction.

Putting up for auction #

Mines discovered by geologists are put up for auction by the state. At auction, mines can be purchased by clones who have a geologist’s education. Auction participants place bids on mines, and after the auction ends, the highest bidder wins the right to extract gems from that mine.

Extraction and processing #

After winning the auction, the player can begin mining for gems. To do this, he will need a geologist’s education. Collected gems may be sold on the exchange or used to create various items in the game.

Rules for bidding at the Mine Auction #

• Clones of the social status of “artisan” and above, who have a geologist’s education, can participate in the auction.
• The trading period is determined in hours and minutes and can be a maximum of 48 hours.
• If a bid is placed in the last minute of the bidding period, the bidding period is extended by 1 minute.
• Depending on the type of mine, bets can be made not only with gold coins, but also with various resources.
• The bet amount in gold coins is calculated based on the nominal value of the resources in which it is made.
• The subsequent bid increases the current price of the lot by the specified step.
• Raising bids without restrictions is permitted.
• The bid amount is reserved and written off after the lot is purchased.
• If the bid is outbid, it is returned.
• Once a mine has been purchased, the deal cannot be cancelled.
• The purchased mine will appear in the buyer’s possession within 5-10 minutes after the end of the auction.

These rules provide a structured and fair process for buying mines at auction, where participants can bid and purchase mines in accordance with established rules and restrictions.

The difference between the sale price of the mine at auction and its nominal value in gold coins is transferred to the state budget in the form of income. This gold is then used by the government to fill various game funds, which support the economic and social aspects of the Golden Clone game.
