I know that everyone (practically) wants this and that there has been a lot of talk about how to do this, but I got an idea that I haven't seen before (although it is super possible that it has been proposed; I generally follow the forum and did a quick search, but still...).

Anyway,, my idea is to have a designation that is "Mine Ore" or something along those lines, and you just designate out a block like the current "Dig", but your miners only touch the ore. As you dig further in, then you discover more tiles and the ore and stone are revealed as normal, but only the ore is dug out; the newly discovered normal stone loses its designation.

Greatly supported. Digging out veins of ore is pure tedium (we really should start harvesting the tedium and refining it).

Ubernube, you've given me an idea...

Anyone ever play Megalomania? THe elements in that all had silly names, I think I might mod that stuff in.
