📋 About This Mod
Update: Renamed mod to deconflict it with Xarang's great mining mod (https://www.nexusmods.com/oblivionremastered/mods/4159). This mod is a lot simpler, but it doesn't use MapSyncInjector, it should basically be compatible with everything, and it should have zero impact on game stability and performance.
This mod combines several components to add immersive mining elements and incentives to the game, on top of your existing mine-delving experience.
1. Makes it a requirement that you have a pickaxe in your inventory to access any iron, silver, gold, amber, or madness ore node.
2. Causes all mining nodes to respawn on instance reset. By default this is 3 days in-game, however you can modify this through game variables.
3. Rebalances ore prices to incentivize collection and transmutation. Silver, gold, amber, and madness ore are significantly more valuable and worth gathering.
4. Allows you to "use" the transmute mineral scroll in Sundercliff Watch to instead permanently learn the spell "Transmute Mineral" - a journeyman-level Alteration spell which will turn iron nuggets into silver nuggets and silver nuggets into gold nuggets.
This is my first mod and I am very new to this. I sincerely apologize if anything doesn't work, I was teaching myself as I went. Please leave feedback and let me know what I can fix or add!
Good luck!!

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Tiny download size (5,234 downloads) shows it's got some traction for a niche tweak.
- Adds a simple survival layer without overhauling the whole game.
- Price rebalance makes silver and gold actually worth hunting for.
⚠️ Cons
- Only 23 endorsements—small community, so don't expect tons of support.
- No mention of compatibility with other mining or economy mods, so it might conflict.
- Last updated August 2025—could be outdated if the game has patched since.
For Oblivion Remastered players who want a touch of realism in mining without a full overhaul. If you're into survival-lite mechanics and economy tweaks, this is a quick add. Skip if you prefer fast looting or already use a comprehensive mining mod.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure you have a pickaxe equipped or in your inventory before hitting ore nodes, or you won't get anything.
- Since nodes respawn on instance reset, you can farm by leaving and re-entering a dungeon or area.
- Check your ore prices at vendors after installing—silver and gold should sell for more now.
