I mine clay and my character never stops

Is this natural ? I select A ( Mine clay ) and he just picks away at the node and it doesn't get depleted . I found the node by the Honningbrew meadery and the bridge over the river, btw .

That's like that for a reason. The stone is the same way.

Infinite clay and stone, I believe.
Kind of makes me curious why there would be spawn spots elsewhere if you never have to travel further than your front yard to find either.

What does a Stone node look like? I ran all around Lakeview Manor looking for some.

As tears of bubbling pitch stream down my face, my dark work will begin.
I will open one of my six mouths, and I will sing the song that ends the earth.

Go to the workbench, turn around and look for a pickaxe on the ground. It's right next to a stone vein

do ingredients and other things in your home respawn if you wait outside...

for 11 days like other indoor cells or is it a one time thing? thanks ^.^

I know that they CAN respawn but i have no idea how long it takes since i didn't pay attention in between visits.

There are times and places in this universe when 1+1 does indeed equal 4.

Clay is permanent mining if you don't know.

That is not entirely true.
Clay and stone deposits have 4000 units in them.
They also respawn.

So it just seems like they last forever.

I would pay attention if the Alchemy Tower didnt have crap ingredients to begin with. I planted all the good things I need outside in the garden.
