Limitations
A private mine is not really private since it is a dot on everyone's map. They do run dry, at which point they can be abandoned and you can go set up the next one nearby for another 40k payment.

Buying
You can buy them for 40k Caps from a Foreman in any of the guarded mines:
- Near Junktown here
- Near Shady Sands here
- Near Klamath here
- Near San Francisco here
- At the mine in Redding
Setup Tips
- You can command your mining slaves to drop all or take ores from them by trade in order to dig more.
- You no longer need to provide food or drugs to your slaves - they work without these.
- When they get stuck mining just use command "stop all action". They will go back to starting position and after a while they will start mining again without giving them new commands.
- Never use "regroup" command because it will reset all commands and they will stop digging.
- Slaves shouldn't stand near veins; minimum 3-hex distance to minimize pathing errors.
- Try to place them in the widest places in mine. This will reduce pathing errors also.
- Place them 1 by 1 as far as possible from each other.
Yields
- You can dig normal quality materials in an Old Bunker Base and you can give commands to slaves there.
- Private mines spawn in the north near Redding and Klamath.
- It is recommended to avoid bringing other players to your private mine because those characters will see the mine forever.
- It is best to manage a private mine with only the character who purchased it.
- You can expect up to 25k ores from any well-run private mine, if it has no pathing errors.
