Crystal Mining


Now the Lego town has a Reason to exist (because by town standards it would be more like an outpost)! The Reason is that it is a mining operation for a special kind of crystal that absorbs power like a battery. The crystals grow on rocks in the mine (which is why the miners are constantly working). The operation has employed about 8 workers total.

  1. The miners (dwarves) mine the gems and load them into mine carts.
  2. The carts drive to the unloading station where their contents are loaded into a larger train car.
  3. The train car drives to the processing facility and more workers unload it into the processing bins.
  4. After the crystals are processed, they are stored in a storage yard until shipped.
