Cavein, working as intended?

Pretty sure if spammed can be a raider weapon.. i think if a tile is covered by a support that tile must be safe but this way one can just spam supports to destroy walls.

I've not tested this world, but W10 caveins couldn't damage anything with soak..

Objects without soak can be destroyed by cave-ins. objects with soak cannot. It's a pretty straightforward rule.

I'll note I'm not sure if there's a limit as to how much soak anything needs. i'm not sure anyone has tested as there's nothing with less than 5 soak unless drying. Everyone just needs to make sure that nothing is placed underground within range of potential collapse.

I guess the point of this is that supports should prevent cave-ins (caused outside their radius) from entering the area they are supposed to protect?

Well I'm not sure, cause if they do they will take damage right? And I don't want some guy to cause chain reactions in my basement and destroy pretty much everything.

i think if you cause cave in that would potentially fall where support is that support should take some heavy damage like 50% instead of failing to do its job

Not sure if its related but I just mined a supported tile and it caused a cave in of unsupported tiles outside its radius.

red is mined tile.

Edit: Area was previously open as part of natural cave.
