Nature/Industry and mining

Post by Potjeh »

IMO it's pretty lame how you can't know for sure whether the ore you bought has been mined at full nature or full industry. I think that all ore should have have smelting odds like the current full industry ore. Instead, the personal belief should come in at mining, determining whether you get a piece of ore out of a mining cycle (full ind - 100% chance of ore, full nature - 0%). Sure, this means that you couldn't conduct exploratory mining with full nature, but I don't think this is necessarily a bad thing.

Sounds reasonable, as 4% of getting metal from ore is almost nothing.

why don't you just buy bars or nuggets?
In real life nobody would bye ore if he can buy metal bars, imo

Because the buyer might have better smelters and coal, duh. Just check the Apples for Oranges archives, every major village was buying iron ore last map.

Great idea.

Really.

+1. This way we'll be sure the ore is useful and not just turns into a buncha stones.

I don't like it.

I am a hermit, and currently I can mine just enough metal for my personal needs even at full nature and I would not want to see this ability taken away because of some obscure big village needs that I don't really care about.

What if instead of 0% chance at full nature it was equivalent to whatever the odds of metal at full nature are right now?
