People on the dev team are hardly ever wrong when they explain changes to the game :) Comes from being... I don't know, on the dev team.

I meant I'm finding iron is easier to mine regardless of what's happening with the gold.

Each mineral deposit in-game has a core where the vein is the richest, and a radius around it for which the richness of the strike decreases gradually.  Two identically equipped and skilled players will *not* have the same results mining 2m apart.  Also, in case you're wondering, to my knowledge, nothing in the mechanics of mining has changed in a long time.

Glad to hear I'm not crazy.

When I have told people that there are certain areas where there appears to be a vein they tell me it's impossible. Just for that I won't tell them where the veins are.

That's odd, because I've been going to the same spot, doing the same thing for ages, but recently I've been getting Iron about 5 times faster...

I could post some screenshots if ya'll would like...

Here's my view on that:

You suddenly became more lucky due to a shift on your fortune and thus the Random Number Generator is now at your side.

Enjoy while you can!
