Just a warning for those who do not know / havn't found out, mining along the edges *can* cause caveins also.

Mining any tile while standing on a mined tile has the potential to cause a cave-in.

Actually we had a big one before this was taken that I cleaned up, it knocked down 6 supports and was a pain in the ass.

All ores say they're iron. You won't know what they really are until you smelt it into a bar. :(
well yeah. Ive got a lot of large pockets of ore. they have all smelted into iron, So a good question is, Is it possible to get multiple types of ore in a cave?

The coverage of a support should be doubled, that picture is just silly with all of those supports

Be careful when destroying supports to allow carts to get through...

Supports really suck. So much wood hauling because they take nearly a full tree each. Would really be nice if they were changed to hold up 8 tiles away instead of 4. Would let you put more between them.
