Deep Shaft Mining.
At some point you are bound to run out of available ore. So maybe having a building that fulfils the purpose of digging deep, for that precious ore would be cool I think.
You would of course have to supply it with Oxygen for breathing, Wood/Iron/Steel/Concrete for the supports, and other more esoteric things like different chemicals for the purification of the raw ore.

BoulderchampThats sounds kinda complex to do. An open pit mining like it is done a lot in germany would make more sense with very big bucket wheel excavator, which can than have some conveyor belt to move resources in and out.

JadesI really like this idea! Ship transport is nice, but it's too slow for my factories. Also, I haven't found any ore for ships yet. With enough research, there should be endless mines that you can also assign vehicles to. Of course also with power supply and for example TNT for blasting.
And I'm sorry about my bad english. -

JamieAnd maybe Fracking to get more Oil on the Island. Shove water down there to push stuff back up.
I know I can get some on the World Map but, Fracking would be cool. -

MarkI would love underground mining. A sort of 'ghosting' of the underground workings similar to Cities Skylines does whenn doing train/subway tunnels. I have worked in the underground mining industry for 10+ years and have been looking for a game with realistic mining mechanics. Also ability to assign excavators to mining areas so you can have one do stripping of dirt and rock and another going after ore, this would reduce the ups and downs of ore flow.

William FranklinI think it might be something that you can research late game...locate additional resources that are deeper
