Regarding the list of locations in mining...Basically, the original intent was to make it necessary that a path be tracable between a square to be mined and a service mall...a navigable path. Thus would be prevented mining to China, since the square becomes un-navigable after it gets four levels deep. You could still mine to China, but in the course of doing so you'd need to make a terrace-sided pit.

Of course, this didn't exactly come out in the actual phrasing. Wonko is right; all that was necessary was the existence of a service mall, since, in an XYZ environment, a "location" doesn't necessarily contain a navigable square.

But Wonko's attempt to fix this is as yet insufficient: What constitutes a "region"? Do the squares, for example, have to be contiguous?

See the prerequisite proposal __Connectivity__. It defines Regions. If it fails, this prop has no effect.

Roughly, a region is a set of squares that all have contiguous paths to each other such that all the paths fulfill a given set of properties. In this case, the property is "A substance other than Void".
