about mining (World7)

[NOOBY93]

why a alt? I was going to make this guy a miner/cqc fighter. I play with a few friends and we all have our things we do...I just dont know how to do the mine part lol. I also can't get rustroot for a long time..

Because, without a mine support you'll most likely die. Cave-ins don't damage armor, so you only need 1 bear cape and talisman. Boar and bear meat are easy and cheap way of getting enough strength for a miner alt in the beginning. Once you find ore and make first support, switch to your main, industrial character to do the rest of the mining.
OH and not to mention, you don't want unbalanced stats on your main, so to quickly start mining you need an imba strength alt.

So what your telling me is that doing a one tile mine inside of a cave and then doing another is pointless then

[popfor]

Its generally safe to mine a single tile in a cave. Getting metal from doing that though will get hard, and you may experience a cave-in, though.

prospect some metal
mine few tiles (healing yourself in case cavein)
after getting ~25 ore smelt it and hope you'll get some metal

So one rock hitting me will not kill me?

[Timothy123]

probly not

[MagicManICT]

But one cave in can. You can get hit with more than one rock in a cave in.

So like I found this abandoned town with a mine in it but when i go down there its all like "This rock is much to hard for you to mine" and stuff like that and I have no idea what to do. It's like I need a pick but I cant make a pick without the metal that I cant mine. So yeah if someone could give me a hand that would be appreciated.

Cheers, Skyrise99

you need strength depending what lvl mine hole that is....

A cave level can have different hardness levels
