Mining is awful.

[leathrnek1]

I hit a tin rock 94 times before I got a single tin ore. My harvesting is a 7 out of ten.

Take a laborer with you with a pick and have them help.

I agree the amount of hits you have to do is a bit much.

I finally said screw it, and just use the 1 hit mod (or at least my workers use it mostly).

[jprovo555]

for some reason that mod doesn't work for me. I have the 'always drops ore' mod and I still have to hit the thing 10 times to get 1

Just build a tin and copper mining shack and let the NPC's mine.
I havent even increased the priority and have enough tin and copper for most needs.

I have tried mining by hand but like you said it can take forever to get any so I unly pick upp what ore I find and ignore mining myself.

I mean...who actually mines themselves? Build a mining building, you can ask for whatever you want and they get it. I mean you guys know you can recruit people, right? I swear from people ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ about walking when you can do fast travel, to being upset about things your works will do I wonder if people even know how to play this.

Bro... chill already. There's nothing wrong with wanting to do some things ourselves.
It's a legit thing to bring up. OK?

Maybe its just a fluke, but I found if when you mine, rather than keep hold the mouse button over the node "check mark", just keep hit the node randomly although have to do more button smashing, yielded better results of ore and less tone. But yea, mining is... tedious to say the least.
