📋 About This Mod
This mod was made based on the great Mining Faster \"or\" Mining More mod from Shittakaburi So if you want ONLY faster or ONLY more, go grab his! I am not stealing his work! :) http://www.skyrimnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=1262 So I made 4 Different versions, (2 new update after Shittakaburi\'s tips) as a reference vanilla is 9 swings of pickaxe for 3 ore New Versions : 2x more ore with 2/3 amount of swings = total of 6 ores harvested in 6 swings of the pickaxe or 3x more ore with 1/3 of the swings = total of 9 ores harvested in 3 swings of the pickaxe (this one might give you 9 ore or 9 gems about 10% of the time) + the ones I had before : 4x more ore and 2x more swings = total of 12 ores harvested in 18 swing of the pickaxe or 9x more ore and 3x more swings = total of 27 ores harvested in 27 swings of the pickaxe If you are going to mine a node that you have already discovered the area then the script might not work to give you more ore since they were already \"created\" before... to install : Simply put the script folder into your data folder (or use the nexus download manager) To uninstall (if not using mod manager) Simply delete \"mineorescript.pex\" from your \"\\Data\\Scripts\" folder. Thats it! Enjoy! :)

💡 Beginner Tips
- If you're using a mod manager, download the file and install it like any other mod; if manual, just drop the files into your Data folder.
- Since this mod is from 2011, check if it's compatible with your Skyrim version (especially if you're on Special Edition).
- Try the 2x speed first to see if it feels balanced; you can always switch to 3x if you want even faster gathering.
