This is quite the fascinating ore here in the Azure Mines. It doesn’t even naturally form here, it only comes from the Haven. Azure Miners seem to be more interested in this gemstone more than the Haven residents are, making this ore rarer in the Haven than it is in the Azure Mines despite being native there.

Overview

Garnet is an ore revealed on berezaa's Martin Luther King day stream which was released in the January Update. It spawns exclusively on the walls and floor of the hidden Staff Room. Depending on how many people are playing Azure Mines, Garnet can be rather difficult to obtain. Since the Staff Room isn't that much of a secret, there are often hordes of players there. It's a common occurrence to see players trying to obstruct other players who are trying to mine the ore, and because of how long it takes to mine nobody will get it. The only solution is by being reasonable - just letting everyone take some garnet so everyone will leave the server, causing a new one to be created with more garnet. Note that you likely won't need tons of garnet, so there's no need to grab all the garnet if someone is fighting for it with you.

Uses

Garnet is used in a Research & Development upgrade, a Mining Operation upgrade, a Storage Management upgrade, and a Data & Analysis one as well. It can't be sold or bought in the Marketplace. Although it can be difficult to get, there is little to no demand for it, and likely won't trade for much. It is also the main component in the Garnet Pickaxe. However, as of the nuclear winter update, you would need 100 Garnet for the last Mining Operation upgrade.

Trivia

  • Garnet is the first and only ore to be found and obtainable outside of the main game. There were other ores that are mined outside of the main game, but can not be obtained, such as Memerock. This might be why the 40k XP that it's supposed to give you is broken.
  • Before the Sinister Update, the icon for this ore was either moderated or broken, thus making the Garnet icon (in all forms - emblems, etc.) appear invisible.
  • Garnet takes around 54 seconds to mine.
