Mining using explosives...

[skinicism]

I realize that the idea of hydraulic mining for miners purchasing purified

water supplies from government rations and for residents filing disputes

over access to waste water from such efforts is out of the question.

Even so, I was wondering whether boomalopes and boomrats could be

tamed in order to explode on impact in mining areas without the 'loss of

bonded animal' debuff. Is there even an alternative that I'm not thinking

of?

You can destroy ore veins using handgrenades, but they don't drop minerals. They're just gone.

I don't know what's the justification for this.

Using ingame resources to speed up slow processes ?

Also fun ?
