I personally have had no trouble with straight snaking, and I have snaked a LOT. Maybe if you don't clear out any boulders nearby it gives it a chance to cave in, but I still believe that if you snake normally you will not get a cave in.

Ugh, I've been snaking diagonally and wondering why there are so many caveins

You can dig in a zigzag pattern. You just need to take the same number of steps as with the snake: start with 3, turn, mine two more, turn, mine two, turn, etc.Sitting_Bill wrote:Ugh, I've been snaking diagonally and wondering why there are so many caveins

2 out of 3 diagonal snakes have caved in for me, luckily it was on lvl 1 ...

loftar: New hair styles? Really? Seeing how Jorb never gets off his lazy ass to draw some, I almost want to add them to the game proper.
