Earthquakes occur randomly and unpredictably—preferably in very built and in “geologically exploited” zones.
Earthquakes cause direct damage to all mines within the area of influence, as well as malus for the mining rate, which regenerates over time.
The stronger the earthquake and the closer the mine is to the epicentre, the more severe are the negative consequences.
The special building “Seismology Centre” reduces the negative consequences of an earthquake.
Excellent working climate and a completely established personnel department could be rewarded in the future.
Fire can break out in factories and destroy a part of the production and paralyse the factory for a certain period of time.
It’s worth it to extend the special “Fire Station” building in order to keep the unproductive time down as low as possible.
Due to your excellent preventive measures, you get a premium payment from the health authorities, .
The more you spend on your hospital, the higher the chance is to get a premium payment.
An accident happened at one of your mines. The mine took heavy damage, and people came to harm.
The affected personnel submits a damage claim. If you have good lawyers (see special building "Law firm"), these claims will do little to impress you.
The more mines you have and the lower the average quality thereof is, the higher the chances that an accident will happen.
The Hospital reduces the risk of an accident.
An aggressive and highly contagious virus has spread across some of your mines. Part of the personnel affected by the virus will never be able to work in the industry again. That influences the performance, condition and defenses of the affected mine negatively.
Pay attention to the condition of your mines and invest in your hospital to reduce the risk of plagues.
