How to make ghosts mine?

[Susderk]

Hi all,

when you talk to the ghosts, they offer to craft, build, repair and mine. But I can't seem to find a way to make them acutally mine something. How does this work?

Cheers

I never saw a ghost mine for me. Probably this functionality is not implemented in the game.

the ghost has a menu of priorities, and it helps you as long as you are doing something. For example, if you want me to help you mine and the ghost is unoccupied or has mining as a number one priority, then he will help you, but if you have things to do in your camp and they are priority for him on his list, he will not help you. . I hope I have explained ...

Did not work for me. Even with unemployed ghosts (nothing to repair, craft or build at home) and me out mining, no ghost ever appeared to help me mine. Maybe mining has to be set to number 1 priority to work ?

If I'm not mistaken, gathering water is the only activity that counts as "mining".

It could be an option as well, or that you summon it near the place where you are mining. That way he should be aware of what you do around him. I don't know for sure because I always leave something for him to do at my campsite when I go out exploring :(

This is correct answer, it's a form of gathering/mining it.

I've spoken with Artem about this before, and we came up with "collect" to replace "mining" but then I'm worried that people will ask "What/when/where do they collect?".

Having said that, if people prefer "collect" over "mining" then please let me know and I'll make sure it's changed if a majority prefers that.

Still does not work for me. Did this test: was at my homecamp, all ghosts idle. I started to collect water with my bucket. Although 2 ghosts were next to me (so also next to water) no ghost started to help me - they stayed idle (just floating around a bit as usual) .

This only works once you've gotten to the stage of unlocking wells They will help "work" the wells, the water collects in the inventory of said wells and once it's full you'll have to collect it before the ghosts will help you further.

If the ghost can collect / gather crops, animal produce, dung, that would be awesome and fully automate husbandry and farming.

Once you have mine, prioritize collection with the host, go to the mine and click on it, in the menu click on ghost icon and set the ghost you choose earlier. Unless they are doing something else they will be mining until mine is full. You will still have to take the metal to the base manually.
