here's an idea for a new mine support

improvised mining support
cost 40 wooden blocks can protect you from only one cave in then it breaks and then you have to rebuild it and has half the coverage of a normal mining support

to add a penalty to them you can't have multiple of them next to each other like normal supports

This would perhaps be too good.

If we're talking early game mining supports, it should probably have some sort of cost that's at least possibly affordable at the start but inadvisable long term compared to bits of metal.

Maybe leather? Would give you an option pre-metal for mining out that first ore vein.

Have it cost 10 leather or so, maybe more

Make it too expensive and most people just go back to suicide alts. 1 leather and a small radius would be fine.

1 is far too little, I'd spam that in a heart beat right now. 4-5 makes it viable but not a healthy alternative

A support that can be made without metal and wax and only covers a tiny area, just enough to probe cave walls, would be something.
Simply because playing the blindfolded cave-in slot machine when initially breaking cave walls isn't a good mechanic, IMHO.

i mean its really not that complicated of a mechanic. if you can grasp basic minesweaper youve got a hold on mining in this game. its just that like minesweeper, make a mistake once and you lose the entire game.

You like to shitpost every thread with your inaccuracies don't you?
First time I say something but I spotted at least 5 non sense the last 2 days.
1) the very first tile without support is luck based.
2) sometimes you don't have other option than to try your luck all adjacent tiles being a potential cave in.
