Errors with gem mining

Post by Jeyid » Tue Dec 13, 2022 12:23 am

I have been working at gem mining for the last 2 hours and have not been able to get a single raw gemstone. :( Every single time I get to the part where the mobol allows me to "search sieve" to look for gemstones, I either get an error saying "Search what sieve?" or "Ok." followed by nothing else.

Am I doing something wrong? Or is this just insanely bad luck?

in a small bend of of the river. A lone tree has settled down to grow in
the middle of the river, slightly bent the treecrown leans southwards over
the water. The river continue north and south through the plains of Illian.

This has happened both before and after reboot, at both wash sites (Amadicia and Illian), mounted and dismounted, and even after buying a new stack of sieves entirely in case that was bugged. Please help because this is really frustrating. :(

You have to drop the sieve before searching, or during the searching but before the point it tells you whether you've found something. E.g. the "search what sieve" prompt you got:
* HP:Healthy SP:Bursting MV:Fresh >
A prospector says 'SEARCH the SIEVE to see if there are any raw gemstones.'

* HP:Healthy SP:Bursting MV:Fresh >
A prospector says 'Don't forget to drop it, because holding it with one hand is a bit too much.'
