"Mine this vein" designation.
« on: July 09, 2007, 09:00:00 am »
Principle: A new kind of designation. You use it to designate a square for mining. When it is dug out, it automatically marks any adjacent tiles of the same kind with the same designation.

End result is that you can strip ore veins, gem clusters, or even limestone/obsidian streaks without babysitting your miner until the whole vein is revealed.

Am I nuts?

No, I think the cook would be in charge of sugar-coating the cows.

You are a lifesaver! Round and probably in tropical flavors.

This seems like some kind of automated cave-in generator.

I approve.

Fine and dandy until you click on a "Generic really ultra common stone wall" and accidentally mine out half the map. Ooops!

Oops. All is well, then.  :)
(I have skimmed the bloats at some point. Apparently, this slipped my mind.)
