Mining

In Game Description

Mining improves your ability to mine for ores, minerals and precious stones in a variety of ways, generally improving any situation where you use a syntax like 'bash lode' or the 'mine' command.

More specifically, a trained miner will be able to open their own prospector mines and mine materials without having to give a quota to a third party, and more skilled miners can even advise industrial mine staff to improve their efficiency.

If you build a prospector mine, beware that anyone with a legion of troops can very easily collapse it, around your ears if you are inside.

Learning

Mining is taught by a tutor in the Gnorris mine on Occid.
