Motherlode Mine - Generator?

[mighty solstice]

The only thing that winds me up about MLM is the fact that the wheels stop and unless I want to be in a busy world I have to stop my mining, climb down the ladder, run around to fix them before carrying on mining.

What are peoples thoughts of having some sort of generator in MLM? It would mean losing a % of coal, or maybe needs topped up with coal now and then like for every pay-dirt deposit it uses 5 coal or something like that to keep going?

Can always be a big purchase with golden nuggets in the first instance to get it.

Something akin to the blast furnace worlds?

Yeah something like that! I mean, blast furnace costs an additional 72k an hour on those worlds. Costing for something similar in MLM would have to be reduced or you would be wiping any sort of money away from mining there lol. Not like there's much money to be made anyway but

[fallen tusk]

well your coal idea could solve that right, instead of gp, just that it isnt something given in every world, only in some

Coal just seems to make sense as something to fuel a generator lol, and since you're mining coal from MLM anyway you're essentially just losing some of the ore you're mining to make your life that little bit easier at times.
