Mining with explosives

A proposition to add another use for dynamite that doesn't involve terrorism.

Put dynamite near ore/mineral rock, when the dynamite explodes 5-15 ores/minerals are spawned in the radius of 3 hex around the ore/mineral rock (on hexes which don't block movement). You could place dynamite on hex adjacent to multiple resource rocks to get better outcome.

I got some idea related to this.
When you see caves without opening, you could make hole with dynamite and enter there.

Sorry english :/

Good idea, just a few comments:
 - I think people very seldom travel with items "just in case" (hey maybe I will find a cave without opening, I will carry dynamite with me all the time)
 - the value of dynamite usually is greater than any stuff you can find in caves

Maybe if caves without openings would have some great treasures (along with great enemies to prevent easy farming).
So it would be sort of anti-newbie block but you could take an experienced party with a demolition expert and explore more difficult caves. There could be also rocks blocking paths inside the cave, so not all enemies would run at you at once and demo expert would be still needed inside.

Hurr! You already can mine with explosives. Just shoot miners with rocket launcher.

FYI in cbt mining works like this: there are limited ammounts of resources that regenerate over time but you don't have gathering cooldown. So perhaps dynamite could give you resources even if they have been depleted by normal mining.

Would give create a good risk - reward setting by encouraging entering unsafe mines with more than just hammer.

Not only with dynamite... With frags too (although with worse outcome)
