the new local prices shit doesn't make any fucking sense like I guess I have to literally make tools IN this province for them to be cheap enough for people to actually want to use them? I don't fucking know. Don't explain it to me I don't care I'll figure it out
It’s because your farmers make more money than they would if they were a gold miner. Unlocking subsidization would kickstart it until the gold mine wages rise enough, or you can wait/encourage migration until the province has a large enough pop that they have no choice but to work in the mines since it’s the only job
