Mines

[zeinul]

Can somebody look at them? Right now mines are better than shaft or modern mines.

Looking at the XML that is not the case. Modern Mines are better than Shaft Mines are better than Mines. Shaft Mines start out with +1 more that mines with all their "upgrades" due to technologies. Same goes for Modern Mines over Shaft Mines.

Is it still possible that mines can upgrade from stone gathering huts and beyond (where the huts can be placed on a forest) but if you build a mine, Shaft Mine or Modern Mine, you will destroy the forest?

Is it possible that a tech adjustment to Mines is not also adding to Shaft and Modern mines?

Yes forest is destroyed.

When I checked I counted in all the tech improvements and compared the maximum of one against the minimum of the upgrade.

I don't think forests should be destroyed from mines - only strip mines ever ruined forest terrain and we don't have those in the game (yet). Where I used to live was one of the most mined, yet still well forested regions in the country.

I agree. Strip mines are fantastic for pulling out everything from the sight relatively quickly. However, it leaves a gigantic useless mess that is ecologically harmful behind.
