Suggestion for mining activity. I was looking at my LBML's claim map and my usual shitty returns on mining, then it suddenly dawned on me. What if all those globals/HoFs/big claims are inside those gaps that cannot be covered by the finder??
Like this:
That said,. I'd like to suggest a new method of mining that can complement the existing one, that is called a shovel.
Yes. Years of technological development on planets, with teleporters, hovercrafts, laser weapons, space-faring vessels, but a shovel is too advanced?
What will a shovel be?
What's in it for miners?
What's in it for MA?
Advices/suggestions are welcomed

What will a shovel be?
- It's basically a kind of extractor that does not need a finder
- The shovel's radius is very small (1/10 - 1/5 the radius of finder at the same level)
- Equip and use it anywhere. After usage, the game will spawn a dig claim deed
- The dig claim can be dig 5 times until it is gone. Each dig will explore the claim deeper (Depth depends on the shovel). E.g. 15m -> 30m -> 45m -> 60m -> 75m
- Ore/enmats/treasure depth and their refill rate work the same way like usual mining.
- Costs item decay when used for digging (1/10 - 1/5 cost of dropping probe)
- If you get a global/Hof/Ath on the dig claim spot, the dig claim deed becomes an ore/enmat/treasure deed, in which the miner can proceed to use normal extractor to extract it.
- Shovels can only be crafted, with ingredients obtained from hunting/mining loots
- Shovels can be tiered and equipped with depth enhancers
What's in it for miners?
- You can cover those small, potentially profitable areas between the finder's gaps
- It looks good on your LBML map
- Immersion and shit like that
What's in it for MA?
- Got shovel's decay as return
- More mining activities from players
- Can boast a realistic mining experience
