How do you deal with boulders?

Postby AlexNT » Sat May 29, 2021 7:57 pm

When you try to mine in a straight line, and every other tile drops a boulder, interrupting your mining -- what do you normally do? Lift it and set to the sidewall, chip though it, carry it to a dedicated area in the mine?

Additionally, what do you do about ore boulders? Seeing how smelting chance skills and "well mined" don't apply to them, they are essentially trash (and noob bait) 99% of the time (unless you get a boulder of top quality ore that you're otherwise in short supply of). It's dangerous to chip them, because they can get mixed with good ore. So how do you deal with them?

That doesn't help with getting them out of the way at all. My question is not "what to use them for", but "how to deal with them while mining".

I tend to recite my curse of extreme genital withering towards Jorb & Loftar while chipping them and carry on.
If I'm currently axe mining and have to switch back to pickaxe too thus causing me additional nuisance I do it twice.
If I'm currently mining ore and so also additionally need to create a stockpile so as not to mix it with the shitty stuff before continuing, three times.
If I'm mining high-quality coal and so have a boulder full of coaly goodness I praise their benevolence.

Chip them and drop result. Save the ore boulders for your alchemist if you have one.

With a pickaxe chipping a boulder is pretty zippy. Same goes for cellar boulders. Takes 2/3rds as much time to store them as chip them, and then you probably gotta chip em anyway.

I have suggested that they should be automined with the area mine on default client, but devs refuse to add it.

You should add boulder clearing to your mining bot, it's really not that hard
