Miner
- We've added ways to automate mining in Ficterra.
- The Wind-up Miner bot has bee added to the game and can now be crafted from the Woodshop. Press 'F' to wind up the miner and watch it go. It will mine in a straight line and store ores & stone in its inventory
- A new Trader has added to Ficterra: 'The Miner'. They be called like other Traders after researching Social Skills.
- The Miner can trade several items that help with automated mining.
- The Steam Miner bot uses steam power to function longer than the Windup Miner bot can be traded for from the The Miner.
- Steam Cells are used to power the Steam Miner, can be traded with water and coal at the Miner.
- The Miner also has Drill Upgrades to trade you. This lets you upgrade the wooden drills to Stone or Iron
- In addition the Miner trades AI Chips. These instruct the Steam Miner to mine in a specific pattern when placed in their inventory. Currently the AI chips have Random and Spiral patterns
