Ever since B21, the gold-mining AI mode hasn't worked. This is a shame, as it allowed me to focus on defending my brain instead of trying to mine for gold during a critical moment. Is Data ever going to get around to fixing this?

(If I seem to be the only person with this problem for some unknown reason, what happens is that I'll select the mode, it'll switch to a digger and start trying to mine in the opposite direction of the gold the miner wants, or just straight into the air.)

The gold mining AI never worked properly, and currently I think the best alternative (and possibly a reason to remove the mining AI completely) is to just use the Go-To AI mode and set waypoints on the gold clusters.

That's what I've been doing. However, the pathfinding AI tries to find the path with the least amount of resistance - which isn't always the quickest way, which means they constantly resurface (or attempt to, and never do because they can't navigate worth a damn) before hitting the next vein, which is often-times only a few meters away from the first one.

The GoTo AI isn't great either... Now I just set kwazilion waypoints through the exact path I like. And it sort-of works. I think that the AI is the biggest flaw of CC so far. Especially when no multiplayer is going to be. (I really don't count split screen - that's good for a pong-like game, but nothing as complex as CC is)
