New Ore Veins

Instead of having ore veins be entirely poor, normal, or rich, I propose ore veins being a mix of ore qualities. Sure veins can be concentrated of 1 type but there would always be a bit of all qualities.  How it would work would be like the outer edges of veins would be primarily poor but you can find normal rarely but never rich, closer to the center you can find all qualities mostly normal but can find a bit of poor and rich, lastly the center of veins hold mainly rich but can find normal quality too but never poor.

On the one hand, it would make it so that one cannot just discard a vein based on the very first ore block found, since there could be other types.   Probably a good thing.  But you don't want to remove the thrill of finding a rich vein, so I'd say that rich should still be relatively rare mixed in, except in certain 'richer' veins, where it would dominate.  I think the thrill of finding an abnormally good vein is an important part of the game.  Also it'll tend to fill the inventory faster, having 3 types of ore per vein rather than 1.  Overall I'm pretty happy with the way things are really.
