Yep, apparently its a bug with the latest update.

And to think I hadn\'t been mining for more than two weeks and just decided to do it today! ;)

Curious - I was in the dungeon last night & picked up a full load of coal and most of a load of platinum.

I just updated and noticed it too. Tried all known places for all ore types but got the message : \"you don\'t see a good place to dig\" everywhere

I also saw that most of the files of the update were graphic ones, if i\'m not mistaking. so it\'s probably got something to do with it.

Other quirk, related but preexisting -

/dig for xxx
\"you don\'t see a good place to dig\"
/dig for yyy
\"You can\'t dig in the same place twice in a row\".

Call me crazy, but it didn\'t let me dig there on the previous try...

Exually that already did happen so it\'s not becuase of the update it says that ;)

I don\'t think that is really an important bug to get fixed but it is something to look at indeed

Oops- my bad. That was last night. Tonight, no mining for me!

Actually this is not a bug, the mining system has been changed. As I understand it, instead of having an entire sector designated as a mine, it is now possible to make only certain places of the sector minable. So you will have to hunt out the places that are minable now.

The thread should not be deleted, as it may help other people that are wondering about this.

By the way, the mining levels too has been reworked, you are now more likely to fail at mining, before you could be almost certain to get something with a level og two and a good pick.

well I believe you but, then they also replaced the mining sites. I just checked the entire rockside where you used to mine iron ore by starting at the utmost point I can reach and then take 3 steps everytime face the rock and start to dig and worked my way round that way. I did about 30 digs at the site and it came up nothing \"you don\'t see a good place to dig\" My mining skill is 2 and I have a sharpened pick?? So that\'s leaves a few options in my opinion.

They made it really really hard to mine

They moved the mining location (at least for iron)

A bug

You\'re not supposed to be there with mining skill 2 and a sharpened pick but need to get better first?

The hill landscape is big. Previously the entire place would work for mining ore. Now only a few spots are possible. Are you sure you investigated all possible spots? I doubt it.
