In Open Sandbox 2 (Troezan), there is silver ore on the map, but in a difficult to reach valley. While I've placed a number of bridges over the varuous tiny streams which cross the area, the valley is still cut off from the labor pool. Trying to let the miners find their way there instead gives a message that the miners cannot access the ore. I've downloaded a saved game for this map by an expert player (he has 120 Estates in his city!), and even he does not have silver production!
So, has anyone successfully started silver mining on this map, and if yes, how?

Yeah. You need to build bridges so that the miners can get there. Rotating the map will help you tell where the best places for a bridge are. If you build roads, this makes it obvious whether there's a viable path. If you can't build a road directly from point A to point B, the workers can't get there, either.
Finally solved it. I'd post a screenshot, but PrtSc doesn't work like the Zeus Manual says it should. In the end I planted lots of bridges, then set up a Mint outside the valley and let the miners find their own way in. Once I saw that I had placed the right bridges, I could set up a better mint area in the valley near the ore.

Zeus doesn't make a screenshot. Print Screen saves a screendump to the clipboard and then you have to open paint or something and paste it in.

Here's how I got there:

Thanks for the reply. I'll alos experiment with Paint and the clipboard.
