The most dmg taken from a cave-in?

[joojoo1975]

for me it was roughly 55 points of HHd, and i did indeed survive

How bout you and did you survive?

[Chrismas]

Every layer the damage doubles.
Miner's helmets cuts it in half.

[krikke93]

About 90HH and I did survive. Only time I got hit by it.

My poor poor mining alt took one for 800 or something on l5 in world 5

[NaoWhut]

Jorb sent me to L6 before.. surrounded me with birds
and wolves... then hit me with 9001 cave ins at once...

Then revived me and told me it was just a dream...

i still can't figure out if it was though

[lawton]

I took a 400 HHP once.

I forget how but it was for shiggles.

Hey Chrismas...can you make your signature pic just a bit bigger? I can't quite make it out....lol

As to cave-in...I rarely mine...for just that reason...

all these damn faction sigs recently, you don't need a logo -.-

on topic, i killed a friend with a cave in once o.o he hated me for a while after i smooshed him and stole his superior bear cape...

I've seen 800-900 but, there were stories of level 5 cave-ins doing 1000+.
So, who knows.

I've taken 800 damage on lvl 1 actually. The way cave ins work is that each layer goes up in base damage (50,100,200,400,800) and then there's a random chance of how many "rocks" actually hit you (doesn't seem to be related to the number of boulders that fall though, which I find odd). As such, the *minimum* damage on L5 is 800. And, as I said, I was hit with 16x the base damage on level one.

Yeah... don't mine without supports below level 1. Safest rule I've come by with regards to mining.
