Description
This is my first Mod created for Skyrim. I'm a veteran Programmer on some languages like Java and vb.net, And wanted to try to create somthing simple for Skyrim. After my experience with this Mod im sure I'll be creating more fun and sophisticated mods.

Easy Mine allows you to mine in Skyrim Faster.
Instead of hitting the Vein 9 times for 3 ores. It now gives all the ores after just 3 Swings.
Also grants Gems just like Vanilla.

NOTE:
==Regular Ore Veins==
Normal -> 9 Hits = 3 Ores (Random Gem every 3 hits)
EasyMine -> 3 Hits = 3 Ores (3 Random Gems After 3 Hits)

==Geode Vein==
Normal -> 9 Hits = 3 Random Soul Gems
EasyMine -> 3 Hits = 3 Random Soul Gems After The 3rd Hit

==Stalhrim Veins== (Dragonborn DLC)
Normal -> 18 Hits = 3 Ores
EasyMine -> 6 Hits = 3 Ores

==Gem Veins== (Dragonborn DLC)
[Does Not Effect, No Changes]

==Clay And Quaried Stone Veins== (Hearthfire DLC)
[Does Not Effect, No Changes]

on this mod I now get the message "archive is bigger then entire mod, may be corrupted!" what do I do?

Thanks! I've always wondered why mining takes forever but tanning leather takes just a moment.

Great idea and worked fine for me! Only thing is, using the pickaxe dual wield "trick / cheat / hack" is very inaffective as it simply depletes the ore faster without giving you more materials :O

Great idea! Do you also have a mod that makes cutting wood faster? Both wood cutting and mining take forever in vanilla. Thanks for making this one.

They need to make this mod an actual part of the game. Three strikes is way easier than 9. I don't know why other people have issues. I've never had an issue and I have installed over 120 mods. I also have a mod that makes ore glow. No issues whatsoever. Makes Skyrim life tremendously easier.

Almost a no-brainer addition. Turns tedium into game-play.
