Mining Questions

In this case i suggest to make a long swim...

I didn't even take the simming skill because I prefere to not be able to swim than to permadie because too weak to do it

[OT] Why the icon of this topic is burning?

1st time i swam i died 2nd time i swam i almost made it to other side and drowned 3rd time i finally wised up and only crossed small rivers lol its not too bad just keep them swims short at 1st (cant even swim unless you toggle it on)

I think its just a flat threshold of 20 replies. I could be mistaken, but pretty sure that's it.

I'm back with more Mining Questions!
1) Do the quality of the ore depend on the difficulty of the mining? I mean, I am finding a lot of easy to get Calcophyrite, but q10, and in a very very far cave, I have a cave near my "camp" but there are just ores for Tin, q40 (kinda) and they are also easy to get, but in the same cave, there are harder to get external walls, and now I am using a Pickaxe, I am afraid of getting very high quality stone since I don't really need them at the moment, for istance, I can mine countless times in the q10 Calcophyrite cave before finishing Stamina, while in this cave, I can only mine twice in the external walls (I have something like 16 str and q10 pickaxe)

2) With the Pickaxe I did notice I mine much faster but also consume Stamina much faster, does the stamina consumed really lower than the one that would be consumed in an action with the Axe? (I have a lot of time but not a lot of food..)

3) Cave Ins, I did read that 'till there is no falling "dust", it means you can mine in 3x3 tiles from there on, but also that when there are those dust, there could be a cave in in a 3x3 area, so I did think, in the moment I see Dust for the first time, I should be able to mine 2 tiles ahead without risk, but then, the very next rock I did remove, a cave in...

1) Quality node and Hardness node are separate. You can find 50ql ore that will require you 300 str to mine and 160ql ore that will require only 50 str.

2)I think that the stamina drain is the same, but pickaxe is 2 times more effective in terms of abliity to mine hard rock, since it takes its quliaty*2.

3)A dust tile indicates, that at least one tile around it is a cave in tile. Minning without supports is literally minesweeper.

Is there something important about Hardness? It's just a negative thing?

Hardness node = It gets harder to mine so need more str and better pickaxe in order to mine there.

[kemil88]

So it's just a bad thing

yeah, basically
