Random Mining by IsharaMeradin Three versions in two flavors each, all of which are Hearthfire friendly and safe to use with any DLC combination. Also carries over USKP corrections. Should SKSE be installed the notification as ore is obtained is modified to give a running tally (see images for an example). The Flavors No Skill Does not give any skill points. Only gives ore. Skill Gain Gives 5 points Alteration skill per ore if a valid magic projectile is used (Example: Exract Ore spell from Mining For Mages) Gives 5 points Smithing skill per ore if a valid tools is used (Example: Pickaxe) The Versions Default -- Normal mining except that you'll randomly receive between 3 and 9 ore. Lazy Man -- Only takes 3 attack hits or one set of 3 animation swings via activation to net the randomly decided amount of ore. Hard Worker -- Alteration skill or Smithing skill determines the ore received as well as how strikes are necessary to obtain the ore. The skill used is determined by "tool" used. The Details All versions strive for fairness between attacking the ore vein and activating the ore vein. To that end since the animation sequence for one "strike" consists of three swings all manual attack "strikes" are required to consist of three hits. While this script is used for a variety of "mines", only those whose default ResourceCountTotal is equal to 3 will actually benefit from this script. That means that quarry stone and clay pits from Hearthfires are immune as well as the small gem geodes from Dragonborn. Hard Worker Skill vs Ore breakdown: Skill level -- Ore gained 91 & up ---- 7 to 9 ore 76 to 90 --- 5 to 9 ore 51 to 75 --- 3 to 7 ore 26 to 50 --- 3 to 5 ore 25 & less -- 3 ore Hard Worker Skill vs Strikes breakdown: Skill level -- Strikes needed 91 & up ---- 1 to 2 strikes 76 to 90 --- 2 to 3 strikes 51 to 75 --- 3 to 4 strikes 26 to 50 --- 4 to 5 strikes 25 & less -- 5 strikes Installation Nexus Mod Manager, Mod Organzier, or Manual Uninstallation Same method as installation.
