Great mod, still works and doesnt seem to break

Without question, this is the best mod in history. It completely nullifies one of the buggiest parts of vanilla.It also will save you countless time.Clay and stone are not an issue. 4000 is suppose to be how much these deposits have.Have you ever heard of dumping what you don't need out of inventory?Chunks of these that have large amounts in them seem to naturally disappear after being dropped.

Vecchio just put it all in a chest, its not a bug and i dont believe that you would be able to use up 8k clay and 4k stone on upgrades...

It has a weird issue with clay and quarry deposits, in which you'll instantly mine EVERYTHING on it, meaning it will add 4000 units of either clay or quarry stone to you inventory (which, obviously, makes you too heavy to run). I believe those deposits were meant to be infinite, in which they would recharge (just like any other ore vein) way before they ran out, since, you know, only a madman would mine it 4000 times. But this mod kind of breaks it. I believe they still recharge normally after 7 ingame days, but, you know, mining 4000 clay bars or quarry stones isn't the nicest thing in the world. Could you please fix this? ♥

You know there is a trick to mining? If you equip your pickaxe and hit the ore you still mine it, its a lot faster then the animation.

none of my mods are working anyone know how to fix this

Drat. This mod is conflicting with the amazing tweaks orc mod. How do I get both of these mods to work? Or am I going to have to disable the orc mod?

now all i need is an instant chopping mod so i can get firewood to upgrade my glorious wooden sword!
Arthur Apr 19, 2017 @ 8:29am 
Hey, the mod is great, thanks so much, but... Could you fix it to work better with clay deposits? If I press E to mine them, it automatically gives me 4k clay (which is the maximum amount a clay deposit holds, I guess). Can you change it a bit so that when I press E on clay deposits it gives me only like 10/15 clays?

i loved the mod but its stopped working
GenDemo Jan 21, 2017 @ 6:33pm 
AWESOME!

Or just literally swing the pickaxe at the ore vein. It's more fun that way, actually.
MartinNarano Dec 10, 2016 @ 8:51am 
This is what i really needed

This mod is very helpful. I definitely recommend it if you're wondering.

Great mod. Not only does it remove the mining animation, it also allows you to mine ore while the mine is being used by an NPC :steamhappy:
If you mine stone or clay for Hearthfire, it will add a huge amout to your inventory (IIRC ~4000) making you slightly over encumbered.
kryten Jun 5, 2016 @ 3:21pm 
This is a great mod ,mining was so tedious.Still works on legendary edition.
Fabio May 27, 2016 @ 11:51am 
That did the trick! Next time, I must stop myself and say, Be smarter than the things you work with!
Turn_on_a_Dime  [author] May 25, 2016 @ 8:28pm 
Try moving to the bottom of your load order?
Fabio May 24, 2016 @ 12:45pm 
Stopped working for me, anyone else have this problem? LOVE THIS MOD BTW
Clover May 15, 2016 @ 11:21am

THANK YOU!
Jamma77 Apr 1, 2016 @ 9:55pm 
Please can you make an Instant Woodcutting mod?
lucia Mar 27, 2016 @ 8:45am 
I now have almost all of you're mods
Colonel Ween Feb 13, 2016 @ 10:12pm 
Thanks, best mod ever.
Gespenter Feb 3, 2016 @ 7:19am 
Nvm, just had to go use LOOT. sry bout that. it works, just had to use loot to make them work together
Turn_on_a_Dime  [author] Feb 2, 2016 @ 8:04pm 
No idea, sorry :(
But that sounds like a mod that affects mining
So the only way it will work is if you *override* metallica's mining script
Thus losing any of its functionality in this regard
Gespenter Feb 2, 2016 @ 3:46pm 
Deos this work with Ars metalica?
Turn_on_a_Dime  [author] Jan 26, 2016 @ 11:42pm 
If it worked before but doesn't now, you probably installed another mod that affects the mining script. You may want to change the load order, but also check if you have MineOreScript.pex in your loose files in Data/Scripts. Removing that file or changing the load order should fix it, but you will lose whatever functionality the other mod intended to add
DicklePickle Jan 26, 2016 @ 4:50pm 
This mod no longer works for me, I have it in my mods list and everything. Do I have to put it in a certain order?
concretemonk Dec 22, 2015 @ 5:12pm 
I love this mod. i hated mining so much i just bought my ore and ingots, so my characters thank you for the extra cash in their coin purse!

And Yes, please think about a wood cutting mod, that would be great. maybe something with a pop up to were you just choose how many pieces of wood you'd like to cut, then a short animation and poof done....doesn't really need the animation either.

Anyway great mod, thumbs up
TurcoLoco Dec 12, 2015 @ 12:40am 
I dread wood cutting even more than mining! The first few times it was kinda cool but afterwards, it is just painfully boring. Worst part is that it stops after cutting 3 pieces.
Limouzine Dec 7, 2015 @ 11:06am 
Still works for me. But the fact that there is there no "woodcutting" version just baffles me.
Turn_on_a_Dime  [author] Dec 2, 2015 @ 1:07pm 
If it doesn't work try moving it to the bottom of your load order.
RbdPanda Dec 2, 2015 @ 8:02am 
doesn't work
dozeregghead Nov 19, 2015 @ 8:24am 
Got it to work for a little while, then it stopped with no additional mods. I'll miss it.
bleebo Oct 25, 2015 @ 4:29pm 
Uninstalling this mod due to the 4000 clay/stone pickup.
Scratch Oct 8, 2015 @ 9:31pm 
4000 clay/stone is BAD ASS. I used to start mining clay and then go make a 6-scoop ice cream sundae while I waited. A week after I installed this mod, and I'm already losing weight!
Pizzarugi Oct 4, 2015 @ 2:13pm 
Does this mod still allow you to pick up 4000 clay/stone? It seems pretty excessive.
Turn_on_a_Dime  [author] Sep 14, 2015 @ 5:10pm 
Sounds like a mod conflict
Ennaiba Sep 14, 2015 @ 1:57pm 
Oddly enough, I can mine the geode veins in Blackreach instantly, but for any other ore veins, I get the regular mining animation.
lakefishHAXX Sep 2, 2015 @ 3:41pm 
welp shite, guess i cant use this mod then. And yes, it is because i want them alive. Thanks though!
Turn_on_a_Dime  [author] Sep 2, 2015 @ 2:59pm 
Probably, yes
lakefishHAXX Sep 2, 2015 @ 12:41pm 
i have but one question/concern. Will this kill the shellbugs? cause i dont wanna kill them.

and they are ore veins tecnically
Sgt42donuts Sep 1, 2015 @ 12:38pm 
Is there a way to control the amount of stone and clay? 4000 is a lot
Turn_on_a_Dime  [author] Aug 30, 2015 @ 8:16pm 
It doesn't crash it for me
sina_jax Aug 30, 2015 @ 9:30am 
WARNING: Do not use on Quarry Stone or Clay. You will pick up 4000 units and crash your computer.
Turn_on_a_Dime  [author] Aug 28, 2015 @ 9:07pm 
The two mods will probably conflict and you will only get the effect of one.
The clay and stone are not infinite, they are 4000.
Angry Bajur 😡🦡 Aug 28, 2015 @ 6:09am 
If you use this mod on an infinite ore vein, such as a clay deposit or a stone quarry or an ore vein that is modded to provide ore for as long as you interact with it, will it break the game?
LeeDavis Jul 23, 2015 @ 2:03pm 
If I have nto said it yet...THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU.
