I have watched with interest the many complaints about the right mine being closed for many people and thought you may be interested in another viewpoint. My mine is still open but at times I wish it were not. The yields from the tight side are very unreliable and most of the time are coin. I just went through 29 dynamite and only picked up 3600 food in total. If I were to do that with bombs these days I would get a much better result and have been for some time now; even before the apparent change to all food which I really hope is permanent. It's a very nice perk. The right side is not always this baren, but in average I do not get near as much as I do from the left side. As well, I have not had the same issues that others seem to with tales. I get food regardless of the timing both in the mines and the magic quest although the quest is random. I find the magic quest seems to cycle through about three rounds of coins then two or thee rounds of low yield food till I get the bumper crops of 1200 or5000 food when I send magic out. I also found that levelling magic to ten really helped. I guess he is bigger so has more appetite, who knows lol but I like the results. At any rate, if there were an accident and my right mine were closed I would not be too happy but I could certainly live with it. I see people demanding that it be opened and in my personal opinion you are not missing that much. Besides which, you have an even island that isn't jagged which j would love lol.
