[Trade] Advanced Mining

Post by Nysan » Tue Oct 09, 2007 3:30 am

I have no idea how mining is coded. So, if this is not even possible feel free to shut me down quick. :wink:

As one gains levels in mining, what they pull out becomes a larger and larger 'wheel of fortune' at the moment. Would it be possible to add some config options for miners?

Nothing specific like "+mine lead" or anything like that, but something like:

"+seek gems": for those hunting for jewels and gems for jewelcrafting.
"+seek low grade": attempt to mine metals lower grade than steel for those seeking the 'practice metals.' (tin, copper, ect)
"+seek high grade": attempt to mine metals equal or better than steel for those seeking the 'keeper' metals. (platinum, mithril, ect)

Granted this would be for 'advanced miners', since inept miners cannot get much beside tin and copper. Perhaps an addition for expert+ or something.

Thoughts?

Edit: Follow up... If this was possible code-wise, it would vastly help with the pesky problem of certain areas being 'stripped mined' and set at high level metals because some miner is looking for this or that metal. (Wrong, but still happens.)

You do not need to change the world, merely leave it a little better than how you found it.
