Just annother mining suggestion...
« on: July 23, 2008, 06:39:43 pm »
Have you ever wanted to see what was in the ground underneath you? People have come up with ways to survey for metals and gems, but they are either inneficient, or they take forever to designate...
So, i thought, maybe there could be a choice between ways of designating mining.

Rather than just being able to select a rectangle of rock to mine, what if we could just designate a straight line from one point to annother, or simply 'draw' as we move the cursor...? Sounds easy to do, right?

Please, oh please, Toady One! Hear my plea! Put this in 39e!

You CAN draw... with your mouse.
As for seeing what's on the level below, won't downwards stairs do that?

My stray dogs often chase fire imps back into the magma pipe and then continue fighting while burning and drowning in the lava. Truly their loyalty knows no bounds, but perhaps it should.
