Mining overview with Cargo indices

New page

'''Mining''' sends you down into the mines to dig for ores, gems, and raw materials. Each mining run spends banked steps, and the deeper you go, the more valuable the finds.

== How mining works ==
* A mining run costs steps, starting at {{Steps|200}} in the [[#Upper Mines|Upper Mines]] and rising with depth to {{Steps|260}} in the [[#Sonorite Depths|Sonorite Depths]].
* You break rocks and nodes to collect whatever they hold. Ores can be taken to [[Smelting|Craig's forge]] and turned into bars.
* Like every other activity, mining never punishes you. If you are out of steps, the mine simply waits.
* [[Mastery]] levels and the Hilltop farm type lower mining costs, so regular miners pay less over time.

== Mine levels ==
The mines run through five named levels. Deeper levels cost more steps to enter but hold rarer ores and gems.

{| class="wikitable"
|+ The five mines
! Level !! Mine !! Run cost !! Known for
|-
| 1 || '''Upper Mines''' || {{Steps|200}} || Copper, stone, and the first gems
|-
| 2 || '''Iron Depths''' || || Iron ore and warmer toned gems
|-
| 3 || '''Golden Tunnels''' || || Gold ore, obsidian, and richer gems
|-
| 4 || '''Crystal Caverns''' || || Moonstone, sapphire, and diamonds
|-
| 5 || '''Sonorite Depths''' || {{Steps|260}} || Sonorite ore and the rarest crystals
|}

== Ores ==
Ores are smelted into bars at [[Smelting|Craig's forge]]. This list is generated from each ore page.

{{#cargo_query:tables=minerals
|fields=CONCAT('[[', _pageName, ']]')=Ore,mines=Found in,description=Description
|where=type='Ore'
|order by=name
|format=table
}}

== Gems ==
Gems are prized finds. Some can also be won by crushing [[Crystal Node|crystal nodes]].

{{#cargo_query:tables=minerals
|fields=CONCAT('[[', _pageName, ']]')=Gem,mines=Found in,description=Description
|where=type='Gem'
|order by=mineable DESC,name
|format=table
}}

== Materials ==
Raw materials from the mines, used for crafting, smelting fuel, fertilizer, and more.

{{#cargo_query:tables=minerals
|fields=CONCAT('[[', _pageName, ']]')=Material,mines=Found in,description=Description
|where=type='Material'
|order by=name
|format=table
}}

* [[Crystal Node]]: crushing geodes for gems.
