Digging priority for skilled miners
« on: December 14, 2007, 03:52:00 pm »

It would be nice if there was an option to designate your more skilled miners to work on the more valuable resources (metals, gems, etc) to minimize the loss of them. I often see dwarves dig around these more valuable resources first, oddly enough... If there were a few options like 'Skilled miners dig metal first' or 'Skilled miners dig gems first' or even one for economic stones, it would be very useful. Similar to setting the skill level on a workshop, only a bit more open ended. That way you have all your less skilled dwarves digging (and breaking) more of that potentially useless stone, and your skilled miners extracting the more valuable ones.

Heh - I suggested a similar idea two days ago, and it's apparently been suggested before, too.  :D
