Does anyone know if it's possible (and how to) target South-side rocks with a prospectors tool? I keep receiving the "too far away" message, no matter where I try to click.
Very strange, because Mount Kendall allows you to do this from any direction. It should have a point of engagement, despite the fact that in your case the cliffs are sheer... *shrugs*
You can try setting up a macro that targets 1 tile south by relative location. Haven't tested this myself, though I suspect it would work.
Relative location is the answer, however in my experience sometimes prospectors don't work even though pickaxes do.
