1.8 kind of ruined this for me for a little while. So much opportunity was presented but with the market stabilizing and my projects coming done I will be back. RL will be getting in the way a little bit but I won't abandon this absolutely awesome project. I love these mines. They make me grin from ear to ear. You are awesome azoundria. Lets get this going again.

This mining operation is for making rupees. You don't keep the resources. however! you will make enough rupees to buy those resources really fast.
Oh the nostalgia I am getting from this thread being bumped <3 And to clarify, I have done some mining for Azoundria and while I was doing that the policy was that you turn everything in via minecart and he pays you for the reports that you fill out specifying what you mined. When I was working for him he usually was good about paying people relatively close to the point when they mined. Overall a very satisfying and organized job.

I use the Eastern Time zone. How often do you expect to be mining each week? (For planning purposes, there's no required level of activity.) As many times as I can :/ My schedule irl is packed. Do you any specific financial goal? Yes, to make a million rupees! Is there anything you hope to get out of using the mine specifically? A sense of community and fun. And also money XD As a side note, my computer cannot run the AutoSwitch mod. I am looking into it, but unfortunately, at least for the time being, it looks like I will not be able to use the mod. I hope I can join anyway.
I thought the auto switch mod wasn't updated to 1.8? maybe it was. I never used the mod. It's just convenient. If you have been playing on emc for 500 days you are more than capable of using your hotbar ;-)
I'm sure azoundria will get with everyone that has posted. this is the most activity this thread has seen since probably before I even signed up lol. I don't run anything I'm just nosey lol.
Yes it is by item so it will vary how much you actually make. It will depend mostly on how fast you get through a run and then most heavily depend on how LUCKY you are. Of course, finding more diamonds means more money! Also if you do like someone else did and use an iron pick, that will hurt your earning SUBSTANTIALLY. From just looking at the "score" page it is most likely that you will make 5-6k until you get he hang of it. I am still more than willing to tutor people when I have time on how I was averaging well over 8k/hr. Penni had a different approach but was making about the same amount I was. Key word: AVERAGE. Some hours you will make more some hours you will make less and you don't have to stay a whole hour. One run will probably take you 20-30 minutes the first few times and getting that down to 15-20 minutes is only a matter of getting comfortable. Edit: also I'm pretty sure the payouts have increased so you could possibly make more... don't quote me though lol
I'd love to do this! The only thing is... I don't bother with mods. Sign me up! (I have lots of free time! I usually come on EMC for 3-4 hrs a day)
We are still mining don't worry iCrazyEvestar, this is where you hand in your application. Read posts before this.
Thanks all for the applications! I will be processing them shortly and hopefully catch you online for training. The AutoSwitch has been updated a while ago. It was quite delayed, and this caused annoyance to most of the mining crew. I'm still getting used to the new config file. Mods are not required. They just help, a lot. I mean, using the wrong pickaxe on a diamond ore is like losing a whole diamond and switching tools takes a fair amount of time. Plus, you could be killed by a mob when trying to attack it with a torch. The mines are still operational. I've had to fix the track start when I got back. But otherwise, I am quite pleased to see nobody destroyed or took anything.
