My miners always seem to pick the next mined block by random. I have normaly 8 rooms to clear, 4 rooms are half mined, one room is ready, and the other rooms have only 1 or 2 walls removed.--Niggy 22:53, 11 April 2010 (UTC)

Has anybody actually verified that the second paragraph still applies to 0.31.0x? Consensus from IRC seems to be that Legendary miner skill does NOT result in leaving stone 100% of the time any more, and my observation so far has been that miners with only Proficient skill leave stone most of the time too. In fact I'm not confident that there's any correlation at all any more. Dholmes 01:14, 26 April 2010 (UTC)

Ghost Miner?

I had a miner die while having one of the flashing to-be-mined blockes, and its still there? and i dont think my other miner will mine it in his stead, any suggestions?

'Top Down' sentence

quoting the page, here..

"They seem to mine top levels over lower ones.

i've actually seen nothing but the opposite in 31.12 - my dwarves mine from the bottom up, though they gotop-left on down as the article states. furthermore, the article also says something about mining dwarves perferring to work from up to down, whereas i've noticed no real preference, or if anything a slight preference to going left-to-right.

to make a long story short, i call shenanigans. if need be, i can make a movie via the ingame ; thingy. like i said, i'm running 31.12, though i noticed the behavior back in .08. in .08 i was running the game unmodded, this version i primarily use the MikeMayday Tileset. (note, i upgraded from .08 to .12, so i dont know about 9-11.)
