Have me a cave with 3 quicksilver ore veins. 1st time I went in game to check it I got the message "Enter to mine" whatever it says, pressed Enter - nothing. Yes I had a pickaxe. Manually mined the veins, quit game, back to CK for some minor placements, back into game, COC-ing outside the cave, into cave and the veins are depleted. How is this possible when I haven't loaded a save game? How long do I have to wait, game days, before they will "fill"? I tried "resetinterior xxxxxxx" whilst outside the cave then went into the cave and "pcb". Still depleted. And what's with the animation?
Thanks for any advice on this.

Yes I see the spelling mistake in the title, I was distracted... MINING
