So can someone else brief us on if his words or still true, whats the scoop that can be released. Something to go on. It's going on 2.5 years without a peep! That seems a tad to long I would hope...

What is mining?

GM FIAL POST:
<<Mining is the acquisition of ores, metals and other mineral resources (including gems) that can be used in creation of items. The system will cover three basic areas; placer or panning, surface mining, and underground mining.

<<Placer or panning mining, is sifting through silty deposits in or along stream beds.

<<Surface mining will be like foraging for minerals, but with it's own unique methods.

<<Underground mining is working in traditional mines or caves, attempting to extract valueable ores and minerals from the earth.

<<Each method will have it's own risk/reward factors.

Picks that double as weapons?

<<No reason why not. They could easily be weapons, and you will be able to use other weapons for mining (though depending on the item, less effective and more prone to damage). If you wanted to chop away at a granite wall with an ice pick, I'm not stopping you. Though your ice pick may not last long...

Heyo!

It's still high priority. We've just had a couple of mandatory projects tossed into the jumble this year, which has put us behind where I'd hoped we'd be.

i think its urban seeing how thugs are just a room or two away. in fact imo mines are fundamentally not-nature-like
