==Buying==
You can buy them for 40k caps from a Foreman in any of the guarded mines:
* Near [[Junktown]] [[Mining Site|here]]
* Near [[Shady Sands]] [[Mining Site|here]]
* Near [[Klamath]] [[Mining Site|here]]
* Near [[San Francisco]] [[Mining Site|here]]
* At the mine in [[Redding]]

==Setup Tips==
* You can command them to drop all or take ores from them by trade in order to dig more.
* You no longer need to provide food or drugs to your slaves - they work without these.
* When they get stuck mining just use command "stop all action". They will go back to starting position and after a while they will start mining again without giving them new commands.
* Never use "regroup" command because it will reset all commands and they will stop digging.
* Slaves shouldn't stand near veins; minimum 3-hex distance to minimize pathing errors.
* Try to place them in the widest places in mine. This will reduce pathing errors also.
* Place them 1 by 1 as far as possible from each other.

==Yields==
* You can dig normal quality materials in a Bunker Base but you cant give commands for slaves there.
* Private mines spawn in the north near [[Redding]] and [[Klamath]].
* It is recommended to avoid bringing other players to your private mine because those characters will see the mine forever.
* It is best to manage a private mine with only the character who purchased it.
* You can expect up to 25k ores from any well-run private mine, if it has no pathing errors.
