Mining in TFG

You will need a pickaxe or mining hammer to mine ores.

A regular hammer can also break stone type blocks quickly, but will not result in dropped ores. It can still be useful for extracting stone blocks however.

Breaking an ore block with a pickaxe will yield raw ores (poor, normal, or rich), as well as some stone dust. These are not worth much mB each and you will need multiple to make a single ingot, however some other minerals are only useable in this state, such as coal.

These are basically a pickaxe with a 3x3 range, and will yield raw ores as well. Also good for clearing stone after you've hammered the ores out!

Holding sneak will only break a single block at a time.

Processing ores will result in much greater amounts of usable metal. The first step is to use a Quern to crush the raw ore. This step can be automated in the future with improved machines such as the Millstone, Crushing Wheel, Macerator, and Forge Hammer.

Purifying dust

Um die zerkleinerten Erze zu noch mehr mB zu schmelzen, platziere sie erst in ein crafting grid mit einem Hammer. Dies wird Unreines Pulver herstellen. Wirf das Pulver in Wasser oder einen mit Wasser gefüllten Right Click a Kessel, um das Pulver zu reinigen.
