*"You are unable to work out how to analyse the shard." - You are below prospecting skill level 20.
*"It looks like someone has tampered with the rock shards and therefore you decide not to analyse it." - The shard has already been analysed and is unable to be analysed again. Also appears if part of the shards have been used to make something or used in improving. Trying a second time should allow you to analyse or re-analyse it.*"The rock shards looks too old for a decent analysis and therefore you decide not to analyse it." - Appears if you try to analyse a shard from a [[bulk storage bin]]. (Also may be given if the shard really is too old?- Needs confirmation)
==How to use==
The four different strengths:
*"Traces" - Shows for ore that is 1 tile away. Unlocked with Analyse at prospecting level 20.
*"Slight traces" - Shows for ore that is 2 tiles away. Unlocked with Analyse at prospecting level 20.(Needs confirmation)
*"Faint traces" - Shows for ore that is 3 tiles away. Unlocked at prospecting level 30. (Needs confirmation)
*"Minuscule traces" - Shows for ore that is 4 tiles away. Unlocked at prospecting level 40. (Needs confirmation)
Level necessary to see quality at specific distances:
*"Traces" quality, unlocked at level 60 (Needs confirmation)20
*"Slight traces" quality, unlocked at level 60 (Needs confirmation)
*"Faint traces" quality, unlocked at level 70 (Needs confirmation)
==Notes==
===Certain knowledgeFacts===
*Rare pickaxe will not add another line of information.
*There's some randomness to the information you get, so it's worth analyzing several rocks in the same spot.
*Once a rock shard has been analysed it cannot be analysed again.
*Ores may also be analysed.
*There is a skill tick chance for each trace strength analysis. (ex. If you can go up to "faint traces" you get 3 skill tick chances.)
*You get more prospecting skill gain when you have lower stamina.
*It is possible to detect two veins in the same distance zone. Both can have its quality range listed, each on separate lines.
===Reasonably certain knowledge===
*Prospecting skill influences the quality of information.
*Higher rock quality influence the quality of information.
===Speculation===
