Been playing a few weeks now and I can't seem to raise my mining skill any higher.
I am at 145 and all my ore mining and smelting options are grey. As I understand it, grey means your skill will not go up if task is completed.
I am able to mine/smelt copper, tin, bronze, silver and iron, but like I said, they are all grey now.
When I ask to train, the mining trainer's screen is blank.
I was at 144 and was able to get it to 145 by mining incendite from an earlier mission over and over, but even that seems to have run out.
How can I raise my skill higher? Am I missing something? This is driving me nuts, I have engineering recipies that I can't use because I can't mine gold or smelt steel.
