Titanium Mines

Titanium mine costs silver and coal to produce sphene. Completing Contracts to transport sphene may also produce Sphene Mines Managers and Engineers. First titanium mine is available at Level 16 after opening Craftville city.

There are titanium mines on land as well as titanium mines by water. A unit of sphene is worth 4 reputation point in the city. If the warehouse is full, the surplus iron ore can be sold for 39 silver each. After the mine is exhausted, it can be either restored for 10% using an Engineer or sold. A level 1 mine has approximately 576 sphene in it.

Titanium can be used on:

• Producing Titanium in smelters.
• Exchanging for crystals via airships

Some titanium mines even serve two city at once. Here's a list of them.

Contracts

The Costs and Revenue for each Contract is dependent upon the Locomotive & Boxcars used to complete the Contract. I.e., Locomotive Costs + Costs for each Carriage attached determine Total Cost with respective, cumulative Revenues.

Experience earned is based strictly upon the Level of Contract and is unaffected by any other variables.

The Time required to complete each Contract is dependent on the Locomotive's Speed & Level of Route taken to Transport Sphene to the City.

While a Locomotive's Efficiency may affect the Default Locomotive Costs below, Carriage Costs are consistent and remain set, regardless.
