Mining or Pickaxe bug

[denorien]

Hi. I am not finding any hits looking elsewhere. I did experience odd tool behavior in my inventory in earlier levels. Tools were replicating. I was eventually able to drop multiple tools and they stopped replicating. Now, I am in the Troll King area trying to mine tenebrium and my character says they don't have the tool to do that. Two Pickaxes are plainly in two character's inventories. One tip off may be that right clicking only allows me to equip. No choice to use. I've tried both equiping and loose in inventory. All no dice. Any ideas?

It is normal that pickaxes can be equipped as weapons. They should be usable at specific sites, though (rocks that highlight with a gear mouse cursor), with or without being equipped.

If you drop a pickaxe and try try again, or switch to a companion, if applicable, do they take a pickaxe from the other character, or do you get a 'I don't have the right tool for mining' line?

Try verifying local files: in the Steam library, right click on Divinity Original Sin Enhanced Edition and select Properties, switch to the Local Files tab and then click on the 'Verify Integrity of Game Cache...' button.

Maybe try dropping both pickaxes, save, reload and pick them up again.

Is it a Tenebrium thing? Can you mine iron and silver normally?

I'm having the same issue. I have XC_Bags mod running and maybe that's the issue?

I'm not able to mine any ore and I have tried the suggestions above. Help! Not sure if there's another way forward in the story without being able to mine tenebrium.

Do you have the Tenebrium-Bag from Brandon?
Maybe you need that bag first, because you can touch Tenebrium and you need the Bag to collect it.
There are plenty of Iron Rocks in the Cave where you fought the Arhu-Funkensprüher-5000 or in the Cave of the White Witch.
Do you have the same issue with iron?
If you use xc_Bags have you read the Changelog?
In the 'Mod changes' book in your inventory.
...
The Blacksmith Axe now also serve as the mining Axe, the old pickaxe is now only a weapon and does no longer work as mining Axe and you need at least 1 Point in Blacksmith for mining.
Are you sure you used the right tool?
