How do I mine?
I mean, I press the mine tool and press a rock and it tells me something weird that I can't remember now and they don't mine it. Wtf? :steamsad:

have you got your miners set to a restricted area (zone).

if you can get the message it states when trying to use the tool it would help me debug this.

But simply put have you changed the area your pawns are allowed to move around in (under the restrictions tab ingame).
"must designate impassable minable blocks" it say when I try to mine

are you mining rocks or walls? you cant mine walls, you can "deconstruct" them.
I'm mining rocks, for sure.

if you click on the rock itself (as in select it) can you see a button that says "mine" with a pickaxe and does it work?

I don't see the mouse icon next to your name. What version of the game are you on?
No, I can just haul them. Wait, are the rocks in this game called things like "granite chunk", or "marble chunk"

Those are not minable. They already been 'mined'. You need to create a dump pile then you can haul them away.
Wow, can't believe I didn't get that... Thanks man!

"chunks" are used on the stoneworking bench to make blocks to build walls with, "rock" is the minable walls mountains are made from.
