I don't think the black or brown coal in stacked piles or as individual pieces show up on the auto map marker because they're not deposits in stone. I would highly recommend you make a lot of charcoal (chalk and limestone might work, too) and start using it to make Cave Art markers on full stone or wooden blocks of that mine below ground. To learn how, look up Charcoal in the Vintage Story wiki. It has a blurb about it near the bottom of the page, but I'll tell you here, too: "Drawing cave art is done by having charcoal in hand, holding 'Ctrl' and pressing the right mouse button. The cave art to be drawn can be chosen by having charcoal in hand, looking at a cave art viable block and pressing 'F'. Cave art can be removed by using a watering can." Marking each entrance on your game map is another good idea. Give them all the same icon and color different from others, and name them something like the Loxleigh Mines aka LM1, LM2, LM3, etc. I was wondering if you already had a hammer to go with that pickaxe to break up the mined ore chunks. All you need is 2 cassiterite tin and 18 copper nuggets to make one tool or ingot. You can make vegetable porridge by using two slots with grain and one or two slots with vegetables of some sort.

Oh wow. Thank you for all the new knowledge. I wish I had some of this for the video I edited today that you will see on Wednesday. I had accidentally marked up some walls in the past, but it never occurred to me to use it to my benefit. No. No hammer. Generally, I would go out looking for copper for a hammer and find more reasons to have a pickaxe. I figured the extra copper would come soon enough. I have started over so many times and nearly every time it feels like I am as uninformed as I was the first time. Memory issues. That and the updates and mod changes feel like I'm learning new stuff.

@@lauraslittleworlds Well, here is another mod you might like: "Scraps" by Medeka. It's listed as 1.19.4, but I haven't had any issues in 1.19.7 with it. It allows you to reclaim wood, metal, glass, and paper with the appropriate tools or a wooden barrel. Repair those broken lanterns and fix aged chests. You can also, after some tech tree development, repair Jonas Lamps!
