Upcoming feature allowing Analyse is an action granted by the [[prospecting]] skill. When used on recently mined rock shards , it allows you to determine if any ore veins are nearby the tile the shard was mined from, as well as their approximate distance from that tile. The action is first unlocked at prospecting skill level 20. To Analyse, activate a pickaxe, right-click a rock shards, and select "Analyse."  ==Event messages== *"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.*"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?) ==How to use== When analysing a shard, several messages will appear in the event window over several seconds. Depending on your prospecting skill, you will receive different amounts of information from the shard. Nearby ores will appear as traces every few lines. The strength of the traces shows the distance from the tile the shard originated from, to the tile with the ore vein. The level of your prospecting skill will determine the presence strength of nearby oresthe traces you can detect. 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.*"Faint traces" - Shows for ore that is 3 tiles away. Unlocked at prospecting level 40. (Needs confirmation)*"Minuscule traces" - Shows for ore that is 4 tiles away. Unlocked at prospecting level 60. (Needs confirmation) The distance away from the analysed rock shard/tile is a square of radius equivalent to the distance. ===Example=== This is a possible analyse readout at prospecting level 20-39: *You start to analyse the shard.*Lots of different sized rock shards.*You notice a trace of silver ore.*You take a closer look.*You notice a slight trace of iron ore.*You finish analysing the shard.{{stub}}This indicates that the silver ore is within one tile of the analysed rock shard/tile. So it could be one tile North, South, East, West, Northwest, Southwest, Southeast, or Northeast of the analysed tile. It is the square of tiles immediately surrounding the analysed one. Each increment of distance beyond this is the square of tiles immediately surrounding the previous one.
