Project P.I.T.T. Pickaxe Not Working: Diagnostic Checklist
Pickaxe Not Working: Diagnostic Checklist: Mining appears unable to reach the next upgrade? Record the current layer, collected ore and displayed request before leaving.
Mining appears unable to reach the next upgrade? Record the current layer, collected ore and displayed request before leaving. Preserve a save backup; there is no validated missing-ore spawn command or guaranteed room-reset procedure here. These are diagnostics, not a guaranteed fix.
Separate the symptom from the assumed cause
Mining appears unable to reach the next upgrade. Compare the visible request with the official 1.0.8 change to three ores per upgrade. A player's September ore-shortage report is not evidence of a new five-ore requirement.
