== Description ==
Mining is the skill of excavating rock and ore veins. The act of mining increases several [[characteristiccharacteristics]]s: [[body strength]], [[body stamina]], [[mind logic]] and [[soul strength]].
== Method ==
There are several "modes" of mining, depending on where and what you mine. The method is much the same for all of them: Activate a [[pickaxe]], right-click the place to mine and select Mining -> (action).
=== Surface excavation ===
The first step in all mines is to make a mine entrance on the surface. This can be done on any [[cliff]] or [[rock]] tile. Surface mining is fairly quick compared to tunnel and ore mining. After 50 mining actions, the message "You will soon create an entrance" will appear. A few actions later an entrace entrance will be created. The exact value is random, averaging around 5.
Surface excavation will produce [[rock shards]] on some actions. The probability seems to be around 25%.
=== Floor and ceiling mining ===
Mining the floor or ceiling of a cave does not create tunnels. Instead, it raises (for ceiling) or lowers (for roof) the cave. Note that as with [[digging]], these actions affect the closest corner of the tile, and not the tile itself.
