I just started playing SMAC (and reading the News) 2 days ago, so I apologize if this has already been mentioned somewhere, but I couldn't find it.
Anyway, the datalinks say that adding a mine to a rocky area is supposed to give +2 minerals, and then a road gives another +1. However, I never get more than 2 minerals total (acts just like rolling).
Also in the datalinks, the Eschelon Mirror says it has a serious ecological impact, but in the discussion of how that impact is calculated, the Mirror isn't mentioned (tho Condensors and Boreholes are).

You can only get 2 minerals from a mine until you research the proper technology advance that allows you to get more. Same for food and energy (only different technologies for each).

Ok. Now I feel stupid. It would be nice if this was mentioned in the datalinks under terraforming, tho. Currently, it doesn't say anything other than "mines give you +2 on rocky terrain".
