On the second mission, after the prospectors discover more mines, I placed a new mine on a gold ore deposit and it keeps self destructing. Why?

Hi, yes the same thing happened to me. I do not know why or how it should be avoided. There is a bug in the game and something we have to live with I suppose.

if you follow the story, it generally will say something like, rebels are talking about blowing something up, or there is a bomb, or someone is planning something destructive.

there are scripted destructions through out the single player campaign that don't need a rebel attack.

I built it five different times and it always self-destructed within seconds of being built. I don't think it is rebels.

I ment it's scripted rebels, Or what ever faction/person. It's not a rebel attack.



I think i know why.. Isn't that the mission that the miners get trapped cause the mine collapes and you eventually have to make choices how to get them out..

Basically, the story says the mine collapes from something, and that site becomes un-usable as it is a collaped mine. with the way the engine works, they can't just stop you from building there, so To work around this, the only thing they can do is destory any new mine built there.

Perhaps they should of just removed the ablity to place a mine in general, cause it is confusing.. Basically its a design choice and part of the story..

SO in other words, don't build a mine at that spot and you will be fine..
