No Gold Mines in Australia?
I see that the mod gives Australia a ♥♥♥♥ load of gold fields but Australia does have actual deep vein gold mines irl

When gold fields deplete, they become potential gold mines. Gold fields are better.
There are no discoverable gold mines. If there is gold that can be discovered, it's always in the form of gold fields, which provide gold rush modifiers.

Yeah, eventually mines can be more efficient and provide more minting with better pms, but fields have the advantage that their income is split more evenly across workers, so they provide a lot of wealth to the people working in them. They also don't need to be built and don't need inputs.

I kind of want to remove infrastructure use from gold fields, it really hurts certain low pop states that had a big gold rush IRL when they discover a lot of gold fields and need to use their entire state workforce just to provide enough infrastructure so the state isn't cut off from the market.
