sounds suuper. is it a new spell we pick up or is it added to the destruction tree ?

Thanks.

No, go ahead

Would you mind if someone else did the patch?

Sorry, I don't maintain this any more. Maybe if I play Skyrim in the future!

Any chance of a compatibility patch between this and Mining Motherlode ?

Can you tweak this to also work with herbs and reagents? would saved so much time blasting some butterflies and nirnroot with fire to harvest it.

ok i know it was mentioned about stalrim but is that gona be added? or is there a diffrent mod of this that supports it? and this mold works really great with the infini veins i mined 80 iron ore in a minit with casting fire from both hands.

Jitterskull, have you ever burned a campfire really hot, then examined the ring-stones later? Heat definitely has a significant effect on many types of rock.
PS where do you think iron comes from?

Wait... So if I will use flames on some rock that usually gives specific ore if I come close to it and start smashing it with pickaxe, it will give me the ore way faster than with pickaxe by just flaming it with flames spell?? Well, nice idea, but makes no-sense as fire cannot break rocks, with Sparks it will make more sense.

I don't understand this mod, waht actuality it adds?

It would be cool to have something similar for alchemy ingredience.obviously not fire though :P

Also, I have all the DLC and it works fine

Works perfectly! Check your inventory pre-mining and post-mining. You get 3 ores per vein, though it only displays one. Makes mining fun!!

One thing I noted - clay deposits have an infinite supply of clay. Or at least the one close to Embershard Mine

@ AkrA - The game doesn't display the message every time you collect an ore from a vein, You actually collect 3 ore from a vein even though it shows the message twice.
I'm sure that this mod just mines the ore so quickly that it only displays it once.

when I use this way of mining I get only one ore from a vein, if I use the pickaxe I get the normal 2, help?

so i'm guessing with the mining flames and the easy mine, it would be very fast even with out dual-weild casting?

Is this broken for those with all the dlc?

this mod combined with mothload is epic, ultra fast mining and loads of ore to boot, just amazing. is there anyway of making the other fire spells do the same thing? the mast flame spell that could mine everything it hits ha ha ha

ancient nordic pickaxe? another mod?

[in response to symphmetalmarine] Yes! Finally mention of a stahlrim mining spell! (even though its not really "mining") An ancient nordic pickaxe is the only thing in my weapons slot of my inventory, and would be satisfying to not have it at all!

Might i re-upload your mod? I've updated it to mine stahlrim in the Dragonborn DLC

I absolutely love the idea of this mod, unfortunately it only gives me 1 ore (and rarely 1 gem) per mining node.

(Vanilla + Dawnguard + Hearthfire, for what it's worth.)

Loving this mod.
Faster than 'picking', a lighter backpack without said pick and a use for a spell I can't remove.
Beauty all the way around. Many thanks Vonwarr!

chopping lumber is basicaly the same as mining ore, could you make a ice or lighting spell that works the same? i have seen mods for chopping 1000 pieces, or non stop chopping. but why not try my idea, please?

Glad you guys like this mod, it was quick and I find it very useful myself. :)

what mage use a pickaxe they can just melt the iron from the rock whit flames

love this mod, make's mining soooo much easier

Zexion, it works for me, try rearranging load order.

Great idea, it's almost logical to use a flame spell in this manner. Gold has a low melting point - so you just melt it right off the rock face and scoop up bits once it cools. Plus: no ten pound pickaxe to lug around. And everyone starts with the flames spell, convenient. I like it. It's what you call a completely utilitarian mod. two thumbs up.

This mod doesn't seem to work with the mod 'Spell Sneak attacks'(?id=15730), I lose my ability to mine at all. Does anyone else have this issue?

Hm. Not working for me. Are there other known interfering mods, other than those described above? I would rather turn something else off than not use this, cause this is awesome.

This is a great mod; for me it was really annoying when being in mine with 10 gold veins or so, but now it's pretty much faster.

This is awesome. I always hated how you have to take such a long time to mine stuf.
Really awesome how you no longer have to go through the lengthy, but useles, animation

it doesnt seem to work for me...must be some other mod messing it up :(

That is fast!

@Curious Cat - No unfortunately, wood chopping blocks ONLY work through the animation, you can't do anything outside of it.

Do you have anything similar for chopping wood?

oh man, so fun! MUCH faster too. oh and ryguystuff, if it's not going much faster for you duel wield the spell and shoot both at the same time, THAT is fast.

Vonwarr this is awesome, first mod i've actually bothered to rate up :)

@ryguystuff - You should check your inventory. You only get one message due to the speed of mining (try dual casting for much faster), but you get all of the items. I tested this thoroughly and I was getting 2-3 ore per vein and possibly gems, although only one message was showing.

I did NOT change the veins in any way, have the same amount of loot/behave normally in every way. All I did was add the flames spell to the list of tools that is allowed to "mine" the vein.

It wasn't much faster and it lowered the yield from the veins. You would often only get 1 ore and then it would be depleted.

@Chaos Storm - not without making modifications to every ore vein in the game... far beyond the scope of this mod, sorry.

@Konata in Cornell - not 100% sure, don't think so... but if you find it does post back and let me know!

seeing as you are heating the rocks, could you make it return the bars rather than ore?

This is funny XD Does it give destruction training?

@thadian.alpha - Charcoal if anything. Also, there are no useable "tree" objects in the game, I'm not making major modifications, this was just a small tweak.

@Morningmist - Thanks! And yes I realize that it makes no "sense". :)

Totally bullshit physics and totally awesome use of fire! +1

burn trees for lumberjacking?

@Sideshow I'd have to create a brand new spell and dungeon or quest, etc. Besides, there's no quest needed to get a pickaxe, you can literally pick them up in every mine and many dungeons.

@Emil - Possibly more "lore" friendly, but the way ore veins register the tools which are allowed to "mine" them would make that much more difficult to accomplish unfortunately.

how about giving this effect when combining flames with telekinesis?
