Posted November 22, 2016 Leading cave bug pet of your own gives +10% chance in mining off a rock while surface mining. What else could cave bug pet give boost? - Prospecting bonus +1 tile distance inside caves? - You could feed cave bug pet rock shards to keep them fat? - With high mining skill you could ask your cave bug pet to smell how deep rock is below dirt layer. (Mole senses, but only smells rock... not veins) - With high prospecting skill smelling rock below dirt layer includes veins (Mole senses) - With 100 prospecting and 100 mining, you can command your pet bug to Strongwall and Disintegrate! - With 100 milking you can.... 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah being able to minigamify taming skill connected system to be able to train a companion in skills&stats is what some games have dedicated playerbase solely focusing on. Imagine cave bug could have skill "Surfacemining" from 1.0 to 100.0 which gives +1% more per 10 skill. With Grandmaster cave bug pet you could accumulate +20% smining bonus.

Posted December 27, 2016 (edited) Recently got a(n awesome) dog which involves quite a bit of picking up, uhm, "byproduct." I'd propose after feeding that cave bug rocks to keep it fat, we get some nice Cochineal "byproduct" to pick up.
