Deep Mines can be placed where no ore exists

First, can anyone explain why the game allows you to place a deep iron mine, deep gold mine or deep coal mine where there is no ore available? This picture shows what I mean:

These are very expensive and it really sucks to waste a lot of iron and gold when you accidentally built a deep mine when you meant a surface mine. Only option is to demolish it :frowning:

Second, while placing that mine, why does the ā€œminerals in rangeā€ show the kinds of ore you canā€™t mine with that building? This makes no sense to me either.

Use the F4 key to show your resources. Deep mines/pits show as 00/00 while ordinary ones will give how much they contain.

Yes I know that. What Iā€™m saying is you shouldnā€™t be able to build a deep mine where there isnā€™t any appropriate ore. Clay and sand have to be over the ore, why not iron, gold, and coal? Itā€™s easy to accidentally select the deep mine and it will let you build it, then have to demolish it. Even if thereā€™s NO ore anywhere near the site.
