How do stats determine how much ore you get from mining? I took a starting game character into the ruins to mine copper. 5 whacks of the starter pickaxe gave 5-8 copper ore. I tried the same on a high level character, same basic pickaxe, stripped talents with acupuncture, and was getting over 50 copper ore from 5 hits!

I suspect hat abandoned ruins ore may be related to the builder's attack power, but it's hard to know exact values because the numbers have a very wide spread. It may also change the talent listing on this page- I.E. Strike increases attack power and thus may actually improve mining. Other talents like aggressive stance or Expert Electrician or food buffs might or might not work.
