Clan Mining Event

Clan Mining, unlocked at level 450, is a new type of Event, and it is a second Event, which is directly linked to Clans and only available if the player is within a Clan.

### **Short Story about the Event**

   *-- Long long time ago an UFO crashed onto the Earth. It has been hidden underground for millennia, but only recently **Clara (Sexy Archaeologist)** found the first pieces of it burrowing out from the underground.*

*-- For years **Jessica (Hottest Scientist)** was working of UFO crash sites without any clues, but this time, after scanning the area of debris, she found that the UFO Battery cores are still active somewhere around the area.*

*-- After a thorough research with her long-time colleague **Piper (Much Sexier Analyst)** and both of them came into conclusion that these Batteries may still hold high amounts of energy and could still be useful…*

*-- On the other side of the world, **Robin (Sexy Evil General)** has started to conduct an experiment to track down the long-lost UFOs’. If she succeeds then these unearthed Batteries could be used for evil to weaponize continents in minutes!*

*-- Due to the quarantine, Nerds worked from home, but still helped scientists with the UFO findings. Being the nerdiest of them all, **Jenna (The Sexiest Nerd)** has found another way to localize the harvesting sites for the UFO crash. She needs **someone** to move into the crash field and get their hands on more of those Batteryfragments...*

*-- Get Ready! Soon you will be landing near the next harvesting site. Be first harvesting Clan to find the first 4 Batteries to help out the scientists!*

### **Clan Mining Terms**

#### **Digging Area**

The main Digging Area consists of squares of dirt, which may be different in hardness. If the dirt squares are darker or have more stone inside of them, players may need to be cautious, as corresponding squares may need additional digging actions as well as Energy to dig out that square of dirt. If the player's Harvest Power (depends on Player Level, Direction of the Movement, Clan Harvest and Construction Site bonus) is high enough, even the harder dirt squares can be cleared easier.

*Keep in mind that the **harvesting speed reduced by 85% (for materials)** if the players' storage (cart) is full.*

Players may also use 3 Bombs with every dig which will yield 20% extra materials. This may be a wise option iif the players want to receive materials quicker, upgrade the Construction Site faster or have high amounts of bombs at their disposal.

Players must find all hidden Batteries somewhere within the Digging Site.

#### **Energy**

Energy is primarily used in order to perform digging actions within the Digging Site (up/down/left/right). While the Energy usage may slightly depend on the selected player class, the base Energy needed to dig is 30, which may be reduced with the upgrades from the Construction Site.

There are 3 main ways how the players may gain Energy:

* 1st Selection - Every 6 hours, players may claim some Energy (this value may be boosted with the upgrades from the Construction Site)
* 2nd selection - Players may exchange 50 Fuel + 50 Uranium for 50 Energy
* 3rd Selection - Players may exchange 75 Uranium for 100 Energy (this action may be only used once per Daily Reward)

Additional way how the players may gain Energy is by finding the Energy bonuses on the grounded squares and digging them out.

#### **Grounded Materials**

While digging, it may also be possible to gain extra materials and bonuses, which can be claimed only when the player digs out that corresponding square of ground.

These bonuses may be:

* 3 - 5 Bronze Keys
* 2 - 3 Silver Keys
* Gold (depends on the player level)
* 25 - 75 Fuel
* Platinum (depends on the player level)
* Rubies (depends on the player level)
* 25 - 75 Skulls
* 50 - 100 Energy

The remaining grounded materials may be ***metal scrap*** which shows that the Batteries are somewhere nearby and the Batteries themselves.

#### **Mining Shaft**

It is also possible to build **an additional Unloading Shaft** within the Digging Area by ranks from Major and up, which will allow to deposit the players' cart without returning back to the surface, only to the Unload Shaft.

Every Shaft level will cost **additional 20 000 kg** of materials from the Mining Storage. Keep in mind that it is not possible to build this shaft if there is any blockage under it.

Players are also able to move up & down on the Mining Shaft for only 1 Energy per movement action.

#### **Barriers**

##### Green Barrier

Green Barrier may be visible as a green hue line across the bottom of the Digging Area under a specific depth. This barrier will not allow any players to pass further down, **unless the players find the first Battery**. This will remove the green barrier and allow the players to dig downward.

##### Blue Barrier

Blue Barrier may be visible as a blue hue line across the bottom of the Digging Area under a specific depth. This barrier will not allow any players to pass further down, unless the players find the 4 separate blocks of dirt **with blue dots on them**. This will remove the blue barrier and allow the players to dig downward.

#### **Batteries**

Batteries are the goal of this type of Event. There are a total of 4 Batteries, which need to be found in order to win the Clan Mining Event. While these Batteries may require more than a few players to dig up, focusing on communication and planning on how to dig may be the key to success within the Event.

#### **Construction Site**

Construction Site is the main focus of the whole Clan, as it may greatly boost the rewards from the Digging Site.

All of the upgrades may be purchased from the "**?**" icon and only after the players deposit their mined materials with the "**Unload**" button near the Crane. Once that is done, the mined materials are transferred to the Clan Storage.

### **Benefits of Classes**

##### **Attacker**

Each level of an Attacker increases Materials gained (kg) for digging **Up & Down by 5% to a maximum of 20% increase.**

##### **Defender**

Each level of a Defender increases Materials gained (kg) for digging **Left & Right by 7% to a maximum of 28% increase.**

##### **Builder**

Each level of a Builder increases the personal **Storage (Cart) by 25% to a maximum of 100% increase.**

##### **Specialist**

Each level of a Specialist reduces the Energy usage by 1 for harvesting to a **minimum of -4 Energy per harvesting action.**

### **Benefits of Clan Ranks**

All Clan ranks from Major and up also have an ability to purchase additional Energy for all of the Clan members within the Clan Mining Event. Materials mined be used to purchase Energy are as of follows:

* +30 Energy for 15 000 kg Materials (1 Energy per 500 kg Materials)
* +70 Energy for 30 000 kg Materials (1 Energy per 428,57 kg Materials)
* +120 Energy for 45 000 kg Materials (1 Energy per 375 kg Materials)

*With additional Energy, more actions could be performed by all of the participants of the Clan allowing quicker progression and possibly faster win,*

### **Rewards**

As the purpose of this Event is to find the 3 alien Batteries, any of the participating Clans may find the Batteries. First place to find all Batteries wins reward all the players pf that Clan 500 Skulls, 2nd - 375 Skulls, 3rd - 250 Skulls

If any Clan finds all batteries, the event is extended for 1 more day (max 5 days), for other Clans to be able to claim the remaining underground Materials

*Keep in mind that it is possible to see the collected Battery amounts of other Clans during this Event on the bottom of the Mining Area once they have collected at least one battery.*

## Trivia

* Clara, the Sexy Archaeologist in the story comic, is based on Lara Croft from the Tomb Raider games in name, design as well as occupation.
