Title: moning mining options....
Post by: the underground on March 05, 2013, 05:12:14 am: ok, so mining is cool enough, but......
super sledges are hard to get, harder still to craft, primative tools dont last long at all, havetn tried a hatchey yet, but i can't use a shovel or regulr sledge hammer.
huh? i cant use a SHOVEL to dig in a min? who missed that?

As far as i know supersledges have no "use" button.

Come on Devs, you need a sound guy.

Such sounds i can think of are : Mining, Fibre cuting, more ambient sounds, like wind, Chatter of voices for towns. Dogs barking. Sound effect for when item is created in fixboy. These things will add so much atmosphere to the game. Atmosphere is whats missing, Atmosphere keeps you playing.

ya thats pretty much exactly what I meant. In fact that makes more sense entirely.

As for shovels, jhammers break rocks but they dont lift them. Shovels do that.

Now that's swag...

Post by: Eternauta on March 06, 2013, 06:24:19 am: Mining with Super Sledge has been suggested more than once already, and some of the suggestion had some, uh, "interesting" twists.

Post by: Mike Crosser on March 06, 2013, 12:29:10 pm: Maybe additional ore with each hit with Super sledge?
3 maybe 4 ore/minerals per hit.

Post by: the underground on March 06, 2013, 05:22:45 pm: Mostly I want a tool that won't break after the first use.
But shovels are the most realistic tool for digging, and mining means digging.

Post by: greenthumb on March 06, 2013, 05:36:15 pm: iron ore/minerals is more like rock than soil, and i believe you would broke your shovel as soon as primitive tool. Only realistic not powered tool is pickaxe which was replaced with only similar sledgehammer.
