I don't see any thread on this here so i though i'd make one! this is really new so i don't expect many people will have heard of it. Mine things is a really low commitment but fun game.
The theme is people in the future are returning to Earth from Mars after Earth has finally recovered from Yellowstone erupting. Upon arriving they setup mines to start digging up artifacts from the past.
It's fairly simple. The basic idea is you have one or more mines (you can buy or rent more as you get more money, max three active) that pull either gold or items from the ground. You then can use the items you to create melds (usually require more then 1 item and act as a kind of score and battery bosoter), sell them, or if they're from certain mines, then they may have special purposes for use (gadgets, vehicles, weapons, explosives, equipment, bait etc... but they keep adding more). Mining is automatic as long as you have enough battery time left and charging the batteries is as easy as visiting the findings page (16 hour max charge with 0 melds +1 hour per additional melds).
After you have 10 melds you can choose to become a trader, pirate or a hunter as often as you want. Traders carry stuff between cities, pirates, well pirate, and hunters go after pirates. After 15 you can use gadgets to give yourself extra advantages for a time.
There's also (fairly recent) a second island and city that requires a ship to reach and 3 new sea only professions (trader, pirate and hunter). Furthermore the new city currently has the new ship mine and will have a cannon mine in the near future to equip said ships (third mine likely, but unknown). However, if a ship is carrying weapons then the crew will use the bests ones if they are boarded. Finally a ship is avaible for 1 gold from the starter mine, the raft, but you need 20 melds to use it and it's slooow (it's a 2+ day journey).
Anyway, if anyone wants to try it out, its really easy, you only have to log on like twice a day to recharge the batteries and check your sales/bids. Though if you're a trader you might be logging on more often to travel etc...
