>## ## How to reset Manually

  • Open console by pressing default key (F5) then type/copy/paste this command ``/mines reset``
  • (NOTE: Automatic Reset and Manual Reset will only WORK if you are in the same zone as the mine you want to reset or if the mine is loaded in the zone or you are near the mine.. Reset won't work if the mine is not loaded in the zone or you're not in the same zone as the mine.)
  • (NOTE: There are instances that a mine won't reset after you reset it manually or automatically.. When that happens all you need to do is reload the mine in the zone by leaving the zone or going far away for a bit then coming back at the mine.. if its still didn't reset.. just use the reset command again either inside or near the mine.)
