Maybe if you don't clear out any boulders nearby it gives it a chance to cave in, but I still believe that if you snake normally you will not get a cave in.


It can happen, not likely, but it can.

Ugh, I've been snaking diagonally and wondering why there are so many caveins :)

So it may be better NOT to take the hypotenuse? Thanks, this is really useful info.

You can dig in a zigzag pattern. You just need to take the same number of steps as with the snake: start with 3, turn, mine two more, turn, mine two, turn, etc.

yeah, going diagonally seems very dangerous compared to straight...
2 out of 3 diagonal snakes have caved in for me, luckily it was on lvl 1 ...
