Something peculiar about the ore mine is that it's needed to get ores, then to get metal, but the auxiliary components ''require'' metal. This means that if you start with no metal, you will have to subsist on the ore mine providing ore at a slow rate, because the auxiliaries aren't there to provide the much-needed efficiency.

Ore Mines are extraction type buildings that allow the extraction of sithilon ore from sithilon ore deposits. Like most other buildings, the mine needs employees to function. Sithilon mines must be built over tiles containing sithilon ore deposits and tiles without said deposits.

Building the mine itself costs no resources, only adding the required storage and optional auxiliary does.

The process of citizens mining the ore is very slow, but making larger mines (while covering more deposits) and hiring more employees to mine can help combat this. If there's no sithilon ore deposits near your settlement, this building has no purpose, and trading may be the player's only method of obtaining ore.

Sithilon ore has no practical uses, and cannot be smelted into anything like standard ore, but has the highest value in the game (alongside jewelry) which provides a massive advantage in trading, which is the only true use for sithilon ore. Many other resources in the game can be obtained through trading, by giving sithilon ore at a trade depot and accumulating high value, which can be used to get other resources.

Sithilon ore mines general a lot of noise, so it's best to build them far away from public places if possible.

In-game description

"Mines extract minerals from the ground. Its efficiency is determined by the density of the minerals along with the auxiliary items you place."
