Mine Support Changes are Awful.

Ok,

If you want more metal sinks to make them decay when off claim and reduce the support range. This means we need to build more.

You could also add a new pillar that is much bigger than the old 2 but takes like 5 bars of cast iron

We don't need metal sinks.

We need spiral quality hop nerfs, higher slag chances, flat cast iron rates that don't get any effect from mining lore/skill tree.

It doesn't matter if they're useless, Jorb and Loftar can figure out a better use than higher smelt chance alone to supplement it later if they want. That alone though makes them crazy valuable.

I'll give you a hint, it sucks.

"Imagine building a bigger mine support, just so you can have more cave-ins fall on your head."

one big sarcasm post

I would also add a hostile NPC that's a cloud of poison gas that behaves like midges but deal direct HHP loss through suffocation wounds and despawn after a set time.

Also, let midges inhabit caves.

Im ok with minesweeper.
Im ok with the damage on mine supports.
Im semi-ok with mine support repair cost .
But Im NOT ok with chance of cave in's on mining these walls:


There is no counter play...
And please dont even start with rustroot

Well this is one change that probably had its intended purpose.

I haven't seen rampant tunneling of underground highways yet.

Ironically, it's still pretty easy to tunnel in a relatively straight line it's just a lot harder to mine out nodes

Why would anyone build something that takes 5x as much resource but isn't 5x as large.

bigger = did not mention size.

All current mine supports should be removed. minesweeper should be mandatory.-snip-

Blessed are those sitting in their chair all day, eat, drink and smoke and let others do all the work

JorbTar, this seriously sounds like straight up grade a cancer my dudes. As a casual gamer guy I can't wait to hit this fucking wall. Mining was a decent way to blow off a little steam with the side of potentially getting fucking shit on by the random slime pool or crazy ass worm or whatever.

There has to be a better way for you all to achieve whatever goal you had planned to achieve with this change.

p.s the server is down. please handle this shit, many thanks.
