Need more Mining/underground Features

[Frotted]

I would think the gleam of reflection on a gem found. Even sifting on the surface...there are cloudy days... are you saying surface weather matters?

Maybe the quality of the light or number required is a factor to sift underground?

Sure, why not? But John has said that you won't find water that allows sifting in a mine. You can't see anything in the dark by the light of a torch and must go above ground.

what about placing a tanning tube underground, filling it with water and sift in it

Still too dark.

Everyone knows the Egyptians had electric batteries and, most likely, a giant power plant. So...

Somewhere on the Salem map, a giant pyramid appears. It stays until a player enters, wanders through the halls and finds an electric battery with full charge. This then supplies energy to the player's miner hat allowing him to sift inside the mine using a tanning tub filled with water. The player has 168 hours to utilize this battery before it's capacity is drained. This is when a new pyramid somehow appears in a new random spot on the map for someone else to find. This is pretty stupid, but it was fun to try to tell TotallyMeow that it's not "too dark".
