Create a New Obsidian Mine

24-KL0V3R (US1)

Most of us are hardworking dedicated Big Farm players and many now own the Obsidian Farm. But I like many are always in need of obsidian.  It would be exciting to build a way to the lower levels of the Obsidan Farm to mine for Obsidian.  It could go like this:
1. Workers notice that there is a lower level to thier farm
2. They explore and see an entrance cave with loads of obsidian but they have no tools.
3., Either one of the current OF farm buildings or a new building (yes that we have to research, etc. before actually using) could be adapted to produce equipment for mining. Possibly the Smelter on the Horse Ranch could also be adapted to produce picks and shovels, etc. using the tin ore and the copper ore).  
4. Level 1 mine would need 10 workers (producing 100 obsidian in 50 hrs.), Level 2 needs 15 workers and would produce 200 obsidian in 48 hrs), Level 3 needs 20 workers and would produce 300 obsidian in 36 hrs, Level 4 needs 25 workers and would produce 400 obsidian in 24hrs..
5. Each upgrade would use either diamonds or gold and would involve research at each stage, just like the other buildings, etc. on the Obsidian Farm.
6. Once the Mine is operational, then a boat could transport the obsidian to our main inventories.

This is where I would picture the Obsidian Mine to be:

@FarmerCli (US1) Wow! You've really put a lot of thought into this. Don't get me wrong, I love the idea of having an obsidian mine on the obsidian farm. It's just that it needs to be less complicated. As a coop leader, it gets to be difficult to explain how everything works to your members.

Yes I agree that it seems a bit complicated, but then so is everything else on the Obsidian Farm.  I thought that maybe if it could be developed similar to what the other stuff on the Obsidian Farm is, then maybe, just maybe the Team will accept my suggestion.
