Creator Response Ore & Geodes available & Staircase / Map question

[HarvestFarmer]

When you are mining and you get an ore or geode. Do you get to choose which type you get out of any of the available ones listed on the mine level card?

When you build staircases, if you build 2 or more at once, do you flip over multiple map cards or just 1? It seems like it doesnt matter either way but still.

Yes, when you get a geode in the Mine you can choose any type from what is listed as available on the Mine Level card.

When building staircases, if you make multiple you ideally should flip over as many map cards as levels you descend. But it would basically be the same thing if you only flip one: the main point is to randomize that grid. As long as you're consistent with how you play it and the mine is randomized, you're good!

Speaking of the map cards, how often do you flip to a new one? I assume after you make a successful roll, but what about if you fail a roll?

You should only change the map card when you change the mine level card.

Oh. So I definitely misunderstood that. So I just use the same map card until I make it to the next level of the mines?

Yes, unless you happen to play some ability that lets you flip to another map card (the Oil of Garlic item for example).

Hiya, following on from this, we have a question about the ore :)
When you collect ore from the mines, are you supposed to just make a note of the ore you collected?
Are we supposed to use a card for it?
Any help greatly appreciated, we’re having a lot of fun! :)

The different ores should be on the backsides of the different Geode tiles, so they are collected like most resources in the game.
