Revision as of 14:20, 10 October 2008

I'm a little surprised at the lack of detail here, especially considering the importance of this material in the last version. It sounds like it might not be guaranteed anymore, though.. --BDR 19:47, 2 November 2007 (EDT)

Be Bold, add to the material page. I havent found it yet. So I know little. --Soyweiser 20:14, 2 November 2007 (EDT)
If I knew enough to add to it, I would. I suppose it's possible to just copy over an old page, but according to the forums there may be less danger associated with it such that it could use a different write-up. --BDR 17:02, 3 November 2007 (EDT)

Always getting ore

I'm have talented and expert miners digging veins of adamantine, and I've yet to see one mine a tile without leaving a chuck of ore. Does adamantine always leave ore regardless of miner skill? HeWhoIsPale 19:02, 6 October 2008 (EDT)

It's pure luck. Adamantine is nothing special in that manner. --GreyMaria 21:32, 6 October 2008 (EDT)

My dabbling miner is getting ore every time, there is no way this is just luck. Either adamantine has a bonus to ore returning chances (I'm guessing a 100% chance), or my fort is bugged. HeWhoIsPale 09:47, 10 October 2008 (EDT)
Current versions of DF have a much smaller chance of losing stone/ore from mining. Make a test in regular rock to compare. Zaratustra 10:20, 10 October 2008 (EDT)
