A Mine Pinata Vision card

The Mine is a building that can be purchased from Willy Builder. It becomes available to buy at Level 5 and costs 5,000 chocolate coins.


Using the Mine

To begin using the mine, the player must direct a Profitamole to the mine, or place a Gas Mask accessory on a Candary and direct it to the mine.


A Profitamole will return only chocolate coins, but the Candary has a chance of finding a Dragonache egg.


A Lantern O' Loot, bought from Ivor Bargain, increases the value of chocolate coins found in the mine by nearly five times.


Commonly asked questions
What are these giant seeds that are dug up from the mine?

Items from the mine might be giant (or tiny), but the giant seeds aren't that different from normal-sized seeds. They don't grow giant trees, or sell for more. If you crate them, or a pinata or Diggerling walks over them, they usually turn normal-sized. View thread


How long (game days) does it take for your mine to start producing?

It's a bit random, although if you make your Diggerlings happy (by paying them), send Candaries (wearing gas masks) into the mine, and place a Lantern O' Loot near your mine, this should help production. View thread


Are the gold and gems valuable?

See answer.
