I cant imagine what level of a clusterfuck the iron mines must be given you habe 1 entry point and only 2 exits on the other side. Both of which could be blocked off by bases.

Not to mention it was a mistake to allow groups to have 4 bases, what are they thinking. I was super lucky on my pve server because i started day 1 and grabbed a central location with fantastic resources on it but by now every location must be taken on every server.
