Not quite 100%.

There are 2 fields of Minerals in NU, Solium in the far NE and Loox in the W which can be found at 82Hz. No one seems to have found anything outside NU at 82Hz. I haven't tried Metal.

You don't need an Extractor, because the value of the Solium and Loox is less than the cost to extract. The Extractors are currently bugged anyway.

It seems the skills you get are slightly bugged, some skills from Alpha are missing, such as Mineral Science, and so you might get 15% fewer skill gains than you should.

If you are a new player, you need to have picked rocks until you have Geology at Level 3 and unlocked Geological Prospecting, and possibly for a lot longer, so that you get reasonable skill and Sau gains on the Finder.

I'm not really a miner, just a hunter who needed some stuff for my swords, so i mined 30 kg of (refined) ruttyl in just a few days.
So is mining operational? You decide... :P

as far as i can see u have an issue of aiming the rock not a bug,
r two doff type of stones above ground, if u notice some have some small trace of grass on them ..those r not good to be picked, and the pickable stones r whiteish at surface, so u have to find these rocks to get some stones from them,
also use the Space keyboard and the mouse to aim more easy the rock u want to pick, i hope this is the issue u have , is what i think
 
cheers
