I have built a mine and a road on a rocky and moist square and can only get 2 minerals from it. If I have read the manual correctly, I should get 4 minerals (1 for a rocky square, +2 for mining on a rocky square, and +1 for building a road in a mined square.(Right?)
(I am having this problem with more then one square with the same specs.)
At the same time I have a mine and a road on a different rocky and moist square with a mineral bonus and as the manual predicted I am gather 7 minerals from that square.
These two examples came from the same game.
What's up?????
Thank for your help in advance.

Until you have the required techs, you cannot get more than 2 of a resource from a square. So when you have the required tech you will get 4 minerals from that square, until then only 2.
Resource bonus squares ignore the above rule.

Yes,
The one with 7 resources was a special which adds 2 and another +1 for a total of 7 (when adding the 4 already there.)
