harvest moon the tale of two towns

1) The mine is opened after restoring the friendship of the towns by winning cooking festivals, and completing the three tunnel requests that Eileen gives you as the towns' friendship increases.

2) Marriage requires you to see all their flower events and be in second year, as well as completing the bed upgrade by request.

3) Oh, there are plenty of recipes, believe me. x_x Maybe look up a list of the game's recipes online.

4) Everyone's friendship is shown by how many flowers they have around their dialogue box when you talk to them. The more flowers the better. Marriage candidates will have coloured ones (apart from the special bachelor/bachelorette.)

Do not fret - the mining is there, and there's fun stuff like quests and fishing and random events and new animals. It just takes time to complete.
