+Forest territory, takes 60 seconds to build, and adds 5 wood per minute after it
+finishes. `Mine` can be built on controlled Ore territory, takes 60 seconds to
+build, and adds 5 ore per minute after it finishes. Each location has one
+building slot; a building under construction occupies that slot.
 
 Timer settings are stored in the MongoDB `GameSettings` collection and are
 seeded on first read:
 
 - `ScoutTrainingSeconds`
 - `LogCampBuildSeconds`
+- `MineBuildSeconds`
