Mine
The mine order designates areas of stone, ore, or compacted machinery to be mined out. Colonists or slaves
assigned to Mining will mine then mine the designated area, or can manually instructed to mine specific tiles. Mining these resources will yield an amount of resources or stone chunk at a rate dependent on what is mined and the Mining Yield stat of the colonist. The Mining Speed of the colonist and HP of what is being mined determined the speed at which the tile is cleared.
Note that only those things listed above, or areas that are covered by fog-of-war can "hold" a mining designation. In the event that an open area is uncovered when mining or an ancient shrine in encountered, the designation placed on the affected area will be lost. If planning a base via the Mine order, overlaying with plans may prevent the design being lost if an open area is discovered.
Colonists can only mine tiles directly adjacent to their current tile and in four cardinal directions. They cannot mine diagonally.
