| An ancient mine that's been lost of hundreds of years. Drops ore that doubles in size after 20 seconds, quadrupling the ore's value, no matter what it is at. |
Overview[]
The 'Ol Faithful is a Vintage-tier mine. It is the first Vintage item available publicly and can only be obtained from Mystery Boxes.
After 20 seconds, ores from the 'Ol Faithful will grow to 1.5 times its size, and quadruple their ore value. This effect occurs every 20 seconds, up to 5 or 6 times.
The now larger ores are heavier, making them safer to use with Ore Cannons and Ore Colliders, and more resistant to being launched by explosions such as from blasters, but are more prone to being stuck in small gaps.
Ores will not grow if they are copied by an Ore Replicator or if the parent mine is disabled or removed from the base. It may be recommended to use an upgrader to reduce its size, such as the Hydraulic Presser or L.I.M.E.
Trivia[]
