Issue with mining

[Biohazard]

I seem to recall back in the day that when you went mining there was more than just one picture type for ore. If you were a not so good miner then sometimes you got some ore that was not so dense (in terms of the graphic at least... it may have also applied to how many ingots could be smelted from the pile) I think there were 2 or 3 different type of ore graphics. As it stands now you can simply put ore together because they are all the same... But I remember having to smelt ore's of the same type (in order to stack them) into each other as some ores were (I think) more productive than others. At the very least there are other pictures of ore that are not included.

The only time I've seen different display graphic for ore is when you fail at smelting; the ore will be returned to your pack in either the scattered form or the small rock clumps like those found on earth elementals.

you have normal ore, then you could get ore that wasnt so dense, but was over a larger area i believe, then a small load of ore compacted.

are you referring to the server now? or what you saw back in the day?


I am speaking of the ore mined directly from the rock... pre-smelt.. back in the day.

just as I suspected... Any chance of getting this implemented? It really doesn't bother me at all... just had flashbacks as I was mining the other day and thought I would throw it out there.

I'm talking about how it is now. I'm not sure how it was back then, I vagely remember it being different stacks of ore, but currently the only way to get get a small or medium piles of ore, you'd have to fail at smelting the ore.

you would get a small pile at the end of a run sometimes. you could also combine the big piles into the small ones.

Aye, there is a slight inaccuracy here, in that the ore veins on production shards were essentially filled in 1/4 ores (the smallest pile) and ours are filled in full ores. so, on UOSA there is never partial ore left at the end of a vein. We have properly implemented these different ore types in smelting failure, but the correction of the behavior of the veins themselves is yet to be not done.

It's on the list I'll try to get it in soon.

[Biohazard]

ok cool like I said this obviously effects (almost) nothing... was just throwing it out there.

[Derrick]

Oh don't downplay it, we'll fix it
Having those little pieces or ore scattered everywhere means a lot to me!

Any update on this? Need some small ore stacks for deco.

you can still make them... just fail at smelting.
