Main / Skills / Mining

Description

Mining is a skill gained by creating caves. Higher mining skill can get you higher quality Rock Shards or ore. Mining skill affects body strength.

Method

Mining is primarily done in caves. Activate a Pickaxe and right-click a rocktile, then select Mining -> Mine. Every mining action on a regular rock tile gives a rock shard. +/- 25 mining actions creates a cave entrance. Within a cave, +/- 50 mining actions are required to let a cave wall collapse.

To find specific ores, you should prospect on the surface. Prospecting in the cave itself will only tell you the quality of the tile.

Reinforcing cave walls

You can reinforce cave walls by adding a Support Beam to it. You cannot mine a reinforced tile, but it will prevent cave collapse.
