The industry hat is pointless except for charisma. However, if you pop on a family heirloom and switch one point towards trad before dying, you will get more from inheritting. So yeah, some is useful, other is not.

It will tell you of minerals directly below you. If you find a node make a mine hole near it and when you get in it, dig towards the node.

That's risky if you don't have mine supports yet

Make the mine hole inside the node, at the centre.
Digging the few safe tiles around the mine hole should give you enough metal to make some supports.

Thanks!

Note that Mine Support only needs two nuggets and you can get metal without access to mine:

A)Trading. You need an idol and contact with an trustworthy trader (check Apples for Oranges section of the forum)

B)Ancestral Worship. Preferrably make an alt that has full Tradition belief and gain enough Numen points to get Nuggets with Forge Prayer.

On the topic of mining and nodes...

I recently managed to discover iron with prospecting and we created a mine hole. We've been getting a lot of q10 ore which is fine for nugget/support building and recipe discovery, but we're really trying to get better stuff. Do ore nodes work like clay nodes? If I keep digging around, will I eventually start finding higher quality ore or am I just wasting time digging off in random directions? I've hit the "wall" of the node where I was just digging rocks to the west and south fairly close to the square created by the hole, and I already know that there isn't any ore in the north wall. I'm digging to the east now, but is it a wasted effort? Is this entire node just q10?

Your misunderstanding how nodes work. A node is a specific type of item be it clay metal, soil, or water. You then have quality nodes on top of that. So not all nodes will rise above base quality of 10. They can and do but not that often. If your node is on level 1 of the underground it will likely remain q10. Deeper lever the base q raises by 10 per level, except where quality nodes over lap it.

Authority objects are destroyable by hand at low authority.
So anyone can bash your crossroads, banners, statues and idol.
Also leave no scent when interacting with objects on your claim.
After a while, the village idol will begin to decay.
