Has anyone ever explanied clearly...

[Shaman]

Why it takes mental stamina to mine? I mean, it isn't like miners suddenly grab their head and say "I can't think anymore, this work is too hard. I need to sit down." They're hitting a rock with a mining pick, very little thinking involved. So what's the deal with that?

[neko kyouran]

yes, yes it has.

Link oh helpful one.

the searching "mental, stamina, mining, " yields little help.


And I'm kinda interested, because this is a good question if you ask me. 

[Prolix]

I think it had something to do with which chunks of rock were worth carting off to the furnace and which were only good for Kran snacks.

[Millian]

What happen when you mining too long you get BORED But still mining can burn my mental stamina very fast so it's kinda .....

[Shaman]

So the higher the intelligence we have, the less we get bored while mining...?

No.

[Prolix]

The better able you are to mine efficiently.

[Millian]

The faster you can tell which to give to the kran and which to keep too

But i agree with Prolix

[Nikodemus]

This clearly doesn't make sense!

What was too me once obvious intention with the idea implementation, is if you continue mining, you stop gettin skill gains! Not that you cannot continue mining! (this is about every activity)

Why it isn't that way  have no idea A bug? No time for developing that thing?
If not, my way of understanding must be completly llogical to what is currently in game xD

[Shaman]

This is all just guess-work. I'm looking for an official response other than "just because" that makes sense explaining WHY we're losing mental stamina to hit a pickaxe against a rock.

[Nikodemus]

then go ask officials and tell us. They probably won't respond in this topic.
Use IRC, or PM someone who has time.

[Shaman]

If they respond in this topic, the search feature might actually be useful when people wanna figure out what the answer is.

I've always wondered this... Maybe it's because PS wants us to roleplay instead of mining (which would be a terrible way of promoting RP). But then how the heck do we get any tria? The only way to efficiently produce money is to mine.

Or maybe it's because no one on the dev team has ever mined before, and they don't realize that most of the people who mine aren't necessarily that intelligent. That kind of labor usually goes to the lower classes, meaning they should not have much education or have a high... mental... whatever it's called... that stat... Yeah. All the smart people are into the whole economic/political thing, or off protecting the state, while all of the mindless, unintelligent lackies are off smashing rocks.

Stamina?

[Caarrie]

after you have mined for a while, you get not only physically but mentally tired or that is what the devs want your char to do, if you have better ideas make a feature request on the tracker and someday it may get ingame.
