Mine Carefully & Mine
« on: November 07, 2011, 08:12:54 pm »
How about two mine designations:

Mine Carefully (d)
Mine (D)

The first is the mining of today which halts at wet/warm material and becomes annoying when you know of the danger but want to continue regardless. The second does just this.

There is a file that you can go into that turns that off. But I do like this idea.

Any thoughts on how this can be abused?

Or tie it in with the Caution attribute of that miner, whether he pauses or not.

Sounds like Fun. Annoying when it happens, but it's just something that you'd learn to expect. Gives the fort some personality.

It would be practical if that mine agressively function would also hack through constructed walls, workshops and the like.

Yeah.

So d should also stop at other corridors, leaving the places as they are.

Like the idea!

This has been suggested before multiple times. And one time even by myself. Its a great idea but it has a few flaws.

Yea, I wonder why you-know-who hasn't made his appearance here yet  ;)

And as it stands, the warning feature itself is useless since you breach the stuff from the top now.

You can stop the announcement and pausing the game etc. from the file, but you can't prevent the actual mining designation from being canceled. You need a 3rd-party program to make them automatically keep digging through.

As such, i approve of this suggestion.
