I'd hypothesize right now that it wouldn't be worth it to re-assign already mining workers


I was playing with it last night and it's very worthwhile to re-assign workers, that's where you end up spending most of your attention.

The only thing you have to do is not just grab a worker randomly, you grab them in between trips and line them up with close patches that are soon to be available.

and one enemy worker can block the close patches to destroy your worker organisation.
doesn't seem something for me to waste too much thought into.

yeah, beyond splitting and rallying your early workers to close patches, i don't think i'm going to worry too much about it.

refreshing to have one of these simplistic threads with general and strongly proven facts revolving around the game itself, instead of theorcrafting

should be common knowledge, but 99% of people dont really know the exact numbers, very cool ^^
We require more MINERAWLZZzz.

I've learnt to accept the fact that nothing should ever be truly deemed "common knowledge" in today's world.

I'll likely be testing the effects of disrupting your enemy's mining this evening...but if anyone has specific questions they want answered, let me know and I'll do my best!
