When I construct a borehole it doesnt improve the mineral output of the square. Im building them on rocky squares and the mineral and energy output is only 2.Also building a road with a mine does not increase mineral output.Anybody else have this problem??

You need a certain tech before you can extract more than two minerals from a square.
So think of your boreholes as an investment in the future.
Btw, is the monicker `Grog' a reference to the pirates' favorite drink in Monkey Island? And is the hint of `Pirates!' an indirect tribute to Sid Meier's classic game?
