Fix'd.

Well, pickaxes had to come from somewhere, right? Pump a few out, and, by Armok, show Mother Earth no mercy.

Thing is, any useless bum can become a decent miner after a couple of weeks of work. Use them for manual labor and get some tetrahedrite mined and smelted.

But I'd rather have a miner start with at least some skill in mining so that I don't have to worry about a noob miner digging out a vein of platinum.

oh but stone is so easy to store. just make a 1x1 garbage and tell everyone to dump the stone. then mass-unforbid them and voila. super stone storage! you can never have enough stone when the stone doesn't actually take up space!

I know about that. Its still not as easy as just drafting some peasants to go mine it out for me though.
