Dwarven Miners were mentioned in the admin approved List of Doom ... but later on many suggestions regarding hireable miner NPCs were rejected/bombarded for being unoriginal by staff and for being OP by many community members. So, in general, miners are not considered an acceptable option, although I do think it should be possible to design it in such a way that it would become an acceptable option ... provided mucho coding effort, and as it will be mucho coding effort anyway ... that's basically the achilles heel of this feature. Same holds for hireable lumberjack NPCs actually. And they may even be harder to code. Think of how you would tell them, using boolean only, to determine which blocks to chop and how to build piles of log to reach to the top of a tree. My verdict: not feasible. I'd even say 'Known no-go', as Mystery suggests. Any other staff to share an opinion?
