I've noticed that geologists do not search on roads. Perhaps that is because they do not want to get run over :). In any case, this brings up a separate question: If I build roads on resource rich points near a mine, do the roads prevent mining of the resources directly underneath the roads? Similarly, does a mine access the resource directly beneath it (as opposed to just the resources near it)?

Hi,

mines dig resource at the point they are build up + in a specific radius. You can switch on the workarea preview/view (either the options in main menu, or the button in the mine's window) to see how far they miners dig. Flags, buildings or roads are no blocker in that case. face-smile.png
