pardon me, i'm extremely untidy.
i was thinking that someone could make a thread about mining that could be stickied.
since i can't make such a thread, i thought i would just do some of the work for such a thread.
i have shitty wording so go ahead and fix and remove anything to make this all more legible.
Add whatever useful links i didn't add as well.
Also, I wanted to start giving proper sources so the people who spend time discovering such things receive the qualified credit so saying something like "I discovered that...blah blah blah" (in a less stupid sounding way) or including a quote or link of jorb or loftar confirming such facts would be ideal.
Here are my mining notes.recommeded: create an alt just for mining, full tradition
diagonally ? almost as safe as snaking
the place you build your minehole might have the underground claimed
leave room within the area of a support to snake safely
multiple snakes are "safe" but don't connect them.
3 snakes per direction for a single support?
it's safe to start snaking from a natural cave tile?
from a natural cave tile it's safe to mine in 1 tile.
attempt to mine with the most amount of unmined tiles behind you as possible
observed a single unmined tile isn't enough to support a cave-in
turning while snaking probably has a higher chance to cause cave-ins
snaking is quite safe but not completely
cave-ins deal damage directly to hhp and always knock the player out
get a mining helmet, helps with cave-ins somehow
a miner could be lucky and not be hit with a cave-in rock
more cave-in rocks = more chance of cave-in
removing cave-in rocks ? chance of cave-in?
cave-in depends on unsupported? mined/unmined tiles behind the miner
