New Item Suggestion: Support Beams

[Yolan]

Cost: three planks?

Function: prevents cave-ins in your mine

New Risk Suggestion: cave-ins... random chance of occurring? risk increases with size of mined, unsupported area..

[Denvon]

How would the cave-in effect your character/mine if it triggered?

[Yolan]

There's varying options for this. I suppose there should be the potential for HHP damage if your player is in the effected area, as well as the 'filling in' of certain squares. At the moment however this might be more of a positive than a negative for nearly mined out spots, because all squares count as 'ore'. I don't know if this is intended to be a lasting feature... but if it were changed so that default squares are not valuable, then filling in squares would be a negative you want to protect against.

I suggested cave-ins to jorb before in-game and he said they had already considered it together with support beams. It might make it in or it might not.

I want some warning before this comes into play otherwise my home will collapse one me >.<.

If support beams ever get implemented, I demand special lights that can be added to them. A well-lit mine is a happy mine. =3
