Prospector

Description
Prospectin' like any distinguished old hand would.

This make miners a little smarter, turning them into distinguished prospectors.

Currently, the only thing they do is spot valuable rocks that haven't been marked for mining, and do so. In this way, the prospector should mine a whole vein by simply marking the surface-visible ores, reducing micro-managing.

You can also trace a line through a whole mountain and the prospector will mine any veins they encounter on the way.

In the future, they plan to use accompanying mules to store mined ores and have them dump the ores back at the home.

Mod Idea:

An actual prospecting job type? If pawns are set to prospecting then the will go and wander the map looking for underground resources similar to what the ground penetration scanner does. This would be 'mining' skill as opposed to the scanners 'intellectual' skill. Once they've identified a location, they will walk to it and then a prompt will be given informing the player a resource has been found.

Would you consider updating this mod for 1.1? I leant pretty heavily on it in 1.0 and would dearly love to be able to continue using it even now.

1.1?

I'm not sure it's this mod, but it's the only mod I have explicitly dealing with mining.

Random ores/etc are being marked for mining when I've no wish to mine them. There's some jade deep inside an insect hive and it keeps getting marked for mining. I don't want that. I've unmarked it several times and it keeps getting marked.

what I want is that if I mark a vein and there are ores adjacent, those will also be mined. Not things far away. Is that possible?

@lolyouwish I won't do this for this initial version but probably on the next update, where a complete system will come.

Is there a way to turn this off for a pawn you want to dig out a region without mining all the ores? The only issue I have found with this mod is that the pawns get completely sidetracked when digging. Since they tag ores for mining upon completing the current block they are on, I have to micromanage them and manually cancel mining orders since they want to reassign ores for mining every single block instead of digging out the area I told them to.

@rouge they will only auto assign mineable ore. normal rocks will be untouched.
