How to unlock the Mine
You can build the Mine when your RV reaches level 3. It costs 320 Home Coins. The highest level is 6, which needs RV level 18. All the upgrades together cost 1,428,520 Home Coins.
From RV level 12, you can switch it to electric mode. Then it works on its own, with no Aniimo, as long as it is close to your power. A batch of Rock takes 15 minutes that way.

The game's description
Every Mine recipe
As soon as you build it, the Mine can make Rock. Each upgrade adds new recipes. The last one is Gem, at level 6.
Rock is the fastest job here. Gem is the slowest, so give it to your best worker.

Time is how long a crop takes to grow, or how much work a recipe needs. Better workers finish the work faster. Sells for is what the Co-op Store pays for one batch. Every recipe in the Homeland
Best Aniimo for the Mine
The Mine needs an Earth Aniimo, and some are better at it than others. The best ones are Bailite, Bouldus, Grizbo, Minespine, Shrubclaw and Waleetle. They work at level 3. If you have one of their Prismana forms, even better: they work at level 4.
Here's a tip: a Playful Aniimo works 20% faster here. Playful is the P in an Aniimo's four-letter personality. If yours doesn't have it, a Psyche Fruit can change the letters.
Is it worth upgrading the Mine?
The most expensive upgrade is level 6. It costs 910,000 Home Coins and needs RV level 18. That is more than all the other upgrades put together. It adds Gem.
Each upgrade also lets it hold more finished items before a hauler takes them away: 120 at level 1, and 200 at level 6.
| Level | Needs | Cost of the step | Holds | New recipes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | RV level 3 | 320 Home Coins | 120 | Rock |
| 2 | RV level 6 | 4,200 Home Coins | 200 | Clay |
| 3 | RV level 9 | 31,000 Home Coins | 200 | Shell |
| 4 | RV level 12 | 143,000 Home Coins | 200 | Copper Ore |
| 5 | RV level 15 | 340,000 Home Coins | 200 | Quartz Ore |
| 6 | RV level 18 | 910,000 Home Coins | 200 | Gem |
Each cost is for that one upgrade.
