Greyed out characters for land mining

Read this

You need 3 maps to send 1 character to get 1 deed. The 1/3 means you have 1 of 3 maps needed. Maps take 8 hours to generate at the shack.

Ok, so that makes sense. But what just happened, was it said all my characters were available to prospect (they showed 3/3). I sent one character, and the rest of them grayed out immediately.

Sorry, this seems to be going way over my head. If the shack takes 8 hours to generate a map, then how do you get all of the characters to prospect together?…wait days and days?

Prospector shack gives out 1 map every 8 hrs. So it needs 24 hrs to issue 3 maps for a prospecting character to use. Prospecting takes 8 hours to earn 1 deed. So all in all you need 32 hours back to back just to earn a deed.

So if the land cost 7 deeds you would need 224 hours just to get that plot, around 9.33 days back to back.

I think this is how it works?

When you first repair the bridge, you start out with 10 maps, enough to send 3 characters and have 1 map left over.

@168sean168 that is how it works!

So basically this is the opposite of SH currency. You can send ALL characters to gain SH currency. But here you have to wait a few days to do it (sending all)?

Ya, they sure put in a lot of effort to slow down users from accessing the land

Trying to coerce that cash purchase of 900 donuts! It's a clever move though. Even I'm considering it. If they had raised the limit more than a measly 1000, i would have already bought it. But I'm going to max out before i can restore my monorail so I'm not sure if I'll buy yet

How does the item limit work with the decorations on the new land tiles? Does storing the trees, rocks and buffalo make a difference I wonder…

yes they're still decos

I've spent the whole day buying plots with 15 donuts each instead of waiting for the stupid land deed process to drag out. More than a few of the mines pay out 10+ donuts so it's not all that expensive to just buy them and start building, provided you have the sprinkles on hand. I've also moved a bunch of buildings from Springfield into the heights to lay out a fairly nifty western township. Oh, and yes, you have to buy TWO of the special monorail bridges if you want to send your monorail into the "new" territory and bring it back across - that's 40 donuts for the pair. But, it's kinda cool to be buying and building again. I guess it's worth it.
