Will cave-ins kill my ass dead or what

[Smoopadoop]

Or just stun my ass not-dead

If only I had metal for a hardhat. Though I guess that's why I'm mining.

If you get hit by a cave-in, you do take a concussion hit, so yeah, it is possible to die to one, but not like it was in older versions.

Can kill you, yeah if you'd stay low on your hhp. Tho not sure the maximum damage from a single "stone" to your head. I guess the biggest I got was the 59 of severe mauling. And don't forget about concussion which also can go up to 50. Perhaps the deeper you mine (I'm talking about layers) the higher damage u'd get. I got those 59+50 on the 2nd layer

They change it, now you get HHP damage aswell, they can kill you

Happened to me once. I've had caveins where I didn't take much damage, and I had two that hit like a truck.
Eventually one killing me.

I'm not sure if there is a theoretical maximum. It all depends on how many times you're hit. If you're lucky, you get no hits from a cave-in. If you're unlucky, you get multiple hits, and I don't know if there's a maximum. Two is possible at the very least.

it's only the first mining tile in a cave that can really get you if you're smart. mine in straight lines and watch out for dust. dust means one (or more) of 8 tiles adjacent are rigged to fall in on you. just play minesweeper until you find metal and can use supports

[shubla]

It will kill you too.
