[quote="theTrav"]sounds like someone in your camp needs the murder skill[/quote]

We have :)

How much coal do the crucibles need btw?

[Krantarin]

Two in the crucible with the iron, plus wood for fuel.

[moonshield]

Was refering to fuel. And now i'm wondering how big mines are (We hit the edge in ours).

[Malicus]

You hit the edge? The only way that could have happened is if you were mining straight out in order to get to the edge, I would think, because I don't think the mine at Brodgar is even that far yet. But I guess this means that there IS an edge...

[theTrav]

that's not far off what I did... it's not tiny, but smaller than you'd think

Would it be too much trouble, by chance, to update the original post when a change to an important game process is made? For example, changing the original post on this thread to reflect industry/natures effect on changing bloom into wrought...
It would make things easier to have all the info in one easy to find place.

As for hitting the edge, and such... How about multiple levels of mining?

I would also like to see earth not automatically ore. Ore would have to be hunted out in veins.

Good idea.. Jorb told me that's one of the possible solutions.

Also, regular stone that can be cut into chips and blocks- you can collect chips for paving projects or blocks that act like bricks (though stone is poor material for ovens, because damp ones tend to explode in heat.)
