In vanilla Skyrim, mining is nearly instant for the player, while NPCs strike the ore veins endlessly. The player can clean a mine in a matter of minutes, which is good for gameplay but not for immersion.
This mod allows a player to mine and chop wood in a more realistic maner, by needing to spend time working. For a vanilla install it has only advantages and is intented for players using realism mods adding the need to eat, sleep, etc.

Changes:
- Ore veins are infinite.
- In order to mine ore, click on it and push the wait button to advance time (or look at your screen for an hour, it'll work too).
- Your character is rewarded by a variable number of ore, depending on the metal:
- Iron: 4 per hour
- Orichalcum: 2 per hour
- Corundum: 1.8 per hour
- Quicksilver: 1.6 per hour
- Silver: 1.6 per hour
- Moonstone: 1.5 per hour
- Malachite: 1.5 per hour
- Gold: 1.25 per hour
- Ebony: 1.0 per hour
- Soulgem: 1.0 per hour
- When you have enough, just step back or press e to stop mining.

- Chopping wood is done the same way and yields 10 firewood per hour.

The esp file adjusts the buying price from NPCs who have a dialog option to buy ore and wood. They were buying it for more than you could get at your local smith, which is completely silly.

New prices:
- Firewood: 1
- Iron: 2
- Quicksilver & silver: 5
- Orichalcum & Corundum: 8
- Malachite & Moonstone: 10
- Gold: 15
- Ebony: 20

Together with the amount of each ore, it's balanced so a miner or wood chopper working for 10 hours can earn around 100-200 gold.
