The mining tool, the one that you can use to mine out individual blocks doesn’t work, or rather my hearthlings don’t respond to it at all. Sometimes when I load in a world with this type of mining pre inputted it works, most of the time it doesn’t.
Steps to reproduce:
try mine out a single layer
Expected Results:
a hearthling to mine out a single layer Actual Results:
nothing happens Notes:
i thought i had replied to this after tagging, but apparently not…
anyways, i’ve also run into this problem, luckily Yang said on stream this morning that some mining bugs have been fixed for the next build, so hopefully this one is included in those fixes.
That part about mining doesn’t sound right. But I noticed slightly wonky behaviour with mining as well, so it’s possibly a bug. A screenshot might help, though.
About the new monsters: How big is your settlement and how many Hearthlings have you got? I think the harder ones only attack after you’ve reached a certain size.
And just to make sure: Do you have Alpha 16 Beta installed in the first place (upper right corner shows the build number if you’re unsure)?
I see. Sounds like a bug then. In my case, the aforementioned problems with Hearthlings refusing to mine ceased with release 2924. Did you try that one out already?
I had a problem mining in the new unstable branch also when doing my initial groundbreaking with single blocks, and i had to use ladders even when i had dug navigable steps. Once I got the mine established and was using four tile block.mining those problems went away though.
