Naturalist

Naturalists are a character type in the game. Naturalists will also explore nature on their own and will sometimes find artifacts in clumps of grass, or 'discover' that regular boulders are in fact ore nodes. The player can also order them to explore a specific place via the "Explore" command.

They are also useful for finding locations of underground ore deposits, which may be extracted by a building a mine in that location.

Naturalists can be created by building a Naturalist's Office or one can be called in temporarily by using a favor.
