Question about mines

Post by Paladiri »

How far from the hole can you dig without the mine collapsing?

From what I've heard, it can be even one tile in if there isn't a support.

Well, that sucks, becausee you need metal to build a mine support and my village has no metal.

Someone suggested that people should make alts to get the first ore to build a support.

Make an alt, grind up lp, mine, die, and be glad you can get supports now.

A little side suggestion, try searching things up before you post. There has already been 2 or 3 threads about this.

It shouldn't cave-in if you are not standing on a mined out tile. Also the presence cave-in boulders will make cave-ins much more likely.
If you keep focusing on the shadow behind, you will not see the light in front of you.

Being successful isn't just about hard work and succeeding, it is also about picking yourself up when you fail.

Well, I don't know if there's any ore.

I hope your talking about a natural cave then and didn't just build a mine hole somewhere without even prospecting, it'd be a massive waste of resources and effort. If it's a cave grab an alt and mine one tile out of the wall every now and and again wherever you can till you hit ore.
