Question What tools are required to mine ores and stones?

[Taurus23]

Hi guys, I'm just wondering, what tools should i use to mine ores and stones?

 

[Barukanen]

Use a WoodenSaucer and a Colif to find a BrianBoru if you're lucky, may even unearth a Frindis.

 

[Lutfij]

Kovanen's are worthy gems as well!

Welcome to the forum

Don't mind those guys, they're just after rolling back from the pub—for a serious answer, you want me.

In order of preference:
Dynamite;
Giant Laser Robots;
Trolls;
Pickaxe;
Hammer.

Specific advice from another credible source

 

[Frindis]

With a PhD in Geology, I feel I can give you some hard-hitting advice:

Firstly, you need to find out what type of mineral you are going to mine, what metallurgical stage you are in, and what mining technique you want to use. To help you on the way:

• For flint/chalcedony, amber, jadeite, calcite, steatite, or obsidian I would recommend using a horn/bone hammer or stone pick.
• For jade, lapis, marble, copper arsenates, and oxides, I would recommend using stone hammers or mauls.
• For copper ores or stone alabaster, any copper pick/hammer will do fine.
• For tin, iron, galena, or argentiferous ores: a stone or metal pick.
• For noble metal ores, a good metal pick is what you need.
• For magnetites, hematites, pyrites, chromite, oolithic, and limonite ores, a copper, bronze, or iron pick/hammer will work well.

Hope you got some solid advice and good luck on your many mining journeys ahead!

What if OP is asking for tips on mining currency...you know, with GPU's?

@Frindis , did you just go into character shopping mode?

Indeed OP, what game are you talking about? Technically, you could mine ores with a hand... if you were wearing cyberpunk level bodymods. 🤣

Mein Krap.

wow, I like to read a lot of stuff, but I must say I do not have the needed resources to puzzle out this reference. 😂
even after looking it up. 👀

I prefer to call it by its English name, Mind Crap.

 

[Colif]

stop taunting them with words they cannot say...

reminds me of a Monty python scene, some knights that can't say the word "it" (Yes, I do know what knights they were, I seen movie so many times I don't need to anymore. Like Obelix, I am immune to its powers... well, maybe not. But I haven't needed to watch it since)

hmmm, ok... maybe this is all I have to say for mein krap. 🧠🤣

 

[Brian Boru]

this is all I have to say for mein krap

And of course, if anyone needs more Mind Crap, here you go.

HEY, WAIT A SEC.... 🤣

I see what you did there!

I blame Brian, he created this monster

He is always to blame.. we're just his meer puppets, while Brian resides elbow deep in control of us.

 

[Colif]

copies posts as evidence before Brian deletes you all to cover his tracks... it was nice knowing you

i think this thread has lost its way.

We could always inject some Diablo Immortal to distract you from the chaos for the time being?

You guys made my day with all these answers! I don't know how the OP feels about this however.

Clearly from the posts, the OP has some solid advice & plentiful options. Along with some lovely warm banter along the way, it's a beautiful thread.

Though I am still oddly curious as to what they meant ...

 

[Colif]

op probably never return. We get a lot of people who post and never get the answers they expect. Most of the times that isn't because thread has gone off the rails as much as this but more the person who tried to post a link or video found they couldn't.

Its possible op tried to attach a link or video on their original post, I have no way of telling. Sometimes what they say makes it obvious something is missing.

Could be they wanted to link to this - link - which is my guess. Up until a year ago we used to get lots of posts about that game... now none. Its nice.

a lot of... minecraft posts? 🤨

but yeah, I also understand the thing about forums and QnA too. sometimes it's really hard to find some obscure data on the internet.
like this obligatory XKCD post.
