Mining licences

One of my coop members spends a lot of time not having mining licences, I always have a couple in store but this player goes weeks without them.  you can see the player works on the farm constantly and there seems to be no reason not to have them drop from the mill but they don't.  Why does this happen?

    The current available ways to earn/get a Gold Mining License are very few.

     For most players the "Mystery Boxes" or "Treasure Chests" give one the best chance of getting 1.
     I have found the average for the regular MB/TC under the current set up is 1 GML per 100 opened regular MB/TC. Have only ever got 1 from the Silver ones, none so far through the others.

     Depending on your DFS area & your fleet of ships. One can earn a GML through the FHW event.

    Once in a while if you have enough tokens & get a lucky Jack Pot spin. One can get some through the regular Wheel Of Fortune.

    You get the regular ones that are worth $2,000 Farm Cash from the windmill; you can't get the Gold ones from there.

    The regular ones aren't worth anything (just $2,000 Farm Cash, as I said), they're there simply so that you can work on your "Miner" achievement when you don't have any GMLs.

    I get the Regular Mining Licenses from making Cow Feed from wheat.  That is the usual place I get them from.  I haven't really noticed them coming from anything else so far.  Could be, but I don't seem to ever be without one.

    I am talking about mining licenses, not Gold mining licenses.  I have always had them available, never gone without them, which is why I can't understand someone not getting any for weeks at a time

    I haven't had any pop out of anything for a very long time. The ones I have have come from mystery boxes. As I seldom use them any more, I haven't been too bothered about it.

    @GoldenrodFarm (US1) They usually pop out of the mill if you produce a full load of feed, so your coop member may be starting the mill with less than the maximum possible.

    Thanks WascallyWabbit, I will let them know, not sure why I can get members here, to ask questions but until then I will be the go between.
    It is usually the smaller players that will do the mining and $2000 is $2000 if you don;t have much, sure beats clicking on all those trees for only $200

    Seriously? My ability to get a mining license depends on other players making less than a full load of feed. Oh, I don't think so.

    No, WW is saying that the license pops out of the mill if the player starts a maximum production -- presuming his/her mill's maximum production, whatever that may be at their mill's level.
  • Well I guess that is not always the case, because the member assures me that maximum production has occurred several times a day for the last two weeks and no mining licences appeared.

    Yep, that's how it is for me, too. No MLs popping out of anywhere, mill included. The only ones I have gotten in months have been from mystery boxes.

    I believe the storage capacity on regular Mining licenses is 2.  If you don't use the reg mining licenses you can't get more from farming, can only can get them as prizes, I think.

    Oh duh!  Should have thought about that first.  That would explain it. I'm up to my eyeballs in them.

    Well that won't fly - I have 42 of the useless things in my inventory at present.  I seem to recall them being one of the hard work awards in the new and improved prize lineup also.
  • I always have mining licenses, but this member doesn't get them, I  imagine it is more useful to the small players like this one, but it is weird that there are no licenses.

    Are they using cow feed to the max? That will or should get the player a Regular Mining License.
