Nah, you can build the mine on an empty deposit and it will be full. I'm not sure what happens when you exhaust the mine, though, it may replenish over time or it might just be one and done - haven't played far enough to know.

I'm pretty sure it's more than just one guy. Conifer Games is a company and I don't think Shafer's the only one working there.
I read a few reviews of At the Gates, remember being quite excited when I first saw it a few years ago, but all the reviews say it's got some interesting ideas but is in an unfinished state. I am not planning to buy it any time soon, maybe I will try it if it goes on sale but for now I'll wait for more development.
Do you know for a fact that they are still working on it?
Companies can only have one person, I think. He probably does have some other people, maybe a lawyer or website manager, but he seems to be doing all the outreach and community interaction himself. Also, this post gives the strong impression that the actual game development was just him.
He's been pretty explicit on the matter.

Ahh, it's good to know they are working on it. In that case I may indeed pick up the game at some point in the future.
From the second link:
The phrase "small team" from that post shoots a giant hole in that theory. If it were just him, I would really think he'd have said 'team of one' or something like that instead of 'small team.' It's fair for him to indulge himself and speak in the first-person in an article like that. I think that's often the case with people who are the creative force behind a project: even though they had a team working on the thing, they came up with the idea and they talk about it as though they singularly "made" the thing, even though they really didn't.

At any rate thanks for the links, I intend to give the development story one a read later.

Being upset with Rome 2's and Warhammer's performance issues, I decided to play Empire again. I was worried I'd have to deal with the crashing bug when embarking armies again but it mysteriously hasn't happened at all this go around. I'm finally playing through the War for Independence campaign.
I'm also playing Binding of Isaac once more. After ~450 hours and only having ~150 achievements out of 400, I decided I'd do a bit of achievement hunting. Horrible decision. I've gotten so many achievements in a couple days and I'm still at less than 170 achievements.

You need to get yourselves some Frogatto.

I still haven't picked up an Esper. In the part of the game where it splits into separate character arcs, I have completed two of the arcs.Where are you by now, anyway?
Oh. Ok.
Don't worry too much about the esper bonuses on lvl ups once you get access to them.
Like, just using the early game espers bonuses is fine enough, they're just smaller.
You don't have to purposefully [not level] or anything.

Got in a bit more Dawn of Man last night. Finished all the techs in the Bronze Age so now just waiting for the relatively large amount of knowledge required to unlock iron.
I am building stone walls around my town to replace the wooden palisade. And starting to upgrade my mud/thatch buildings to stone/mud/thatch buildings. I also unlocked swords, so will be even more efficient at killing raiders. Also fnally phased out the Crafter entirely in favor of the later Workshop. And expanded across both legs of the river I started next to.
