Mining?

Postby piffboy » Mon Mar 16, 2015 2:20 am

Ok so Im fairly new to mining. I am mining and i cant seem to get ore bolders, All i can get is rubble boulders. Is there something you have to do to find ore in a mine or something?
Thanks for the help!

You have to keep mining out rubble until you find an ore vein.

3 types of tiles in a mine that i have seen
1. has black lines<cracks> , rubble
2. has black and white.grey lines<cracks> , ore
2. black tile, must build a fire to soften before able to mine, possible location to goto lower level

I have found digging in a straight line till you find vein works out well, but it's just random from what I understand. Good luck

1x1 fields in mines ... good ol' days.
But yes, it currently does pay off to build a lot in mines because of the free space (do note however, that stuff in there is no longer claimed and hence scent-free; also, JC doesn't really like it and may eventually punish us).
I have neither the crayons nor the time to explain it to you.

I can't wait for the tears when JC makes it so there is decay in mines.
