0002204: No Announcement For Striking Emerald
There is no "You have struck emerald!" announcement.
Using either reveal.exe or just lots of mining, find emeralds and see if they are announced.
I believe that this was a problem in previous versions as well; I've always noticed that I have lots of emeralds, but I had no clue why until now.
No tags attached.

Any minerals discovered using reveal.exe will *never* generate announcements when you mine them out.

I've got a "You have struck emerald!" announcement. At least three to be precise.

Are you actually digging them out - ie, were they unseen previously, then you dig next to them?

Chalking this up to use of reveal.exe.
