A way to get metal without a mine/trading

[TeckXKnight]

Necroing CnI ideas is ideal instead of creating new threads and dispersing ideas, making them difficult to read. Better that he adds his thoughts here than creating a new thread with repetitious ideas.

Except that the idea of bog metal and such has become kinda obsolete since everyone can get very easy access to metal now.

Note for OP: Metal as currency? Unless you mean gold, Pearls and Flotsams are your currency. I have so much frikken metal i might start paying noobs to haul it off. lol

You are aware that OP was made over a year ago, when metal wasn't that easily accesible?

Then a second necro bump!

I read about the recent nerf of snake mining and I recalled this topic. I understand that a lot of people have already got metal without problems, but for sure bog metal would help setting up the first mine support and mining more at ease.

four nuggets for numen-points, make suppurt beam, dig.

or trade if you don`t have enough time and str for it.

I kind of wish they'd make it so that caves have a 1 tile radius where there won't be cave ins. Just caves though, that way it couldn't be abused for any weird mining techniques but it would serve the purpose of not getting you killed 1 tile into mining.

either something like that, or taking away the metal requirement for supports would be great. maybe I'm thinking of something completely different here, but any time you watch an old west movie and someone is out mining gold you see the wood beams tied off with rope supporting the rock overhead...so blocks of wood and rope for a support should work just as well if not better than anything you can make with blocks of wood and metal nuggets.

A good idea would be making it so wood beams need glue to dry for a couple of hours, and metal beams don't.
Sort of akin to clay cauldrons and metal cauldrons.

You already can dig 1 tile into a cave?
