Re: mining and ore smelting?
If I am only getting stones, like an inventory full, does that mean there is no ore, or I'm just unlucky? And is it possible to get ore if I keep mining further into that spot?

Re: mining and ore smelting?
Has anyone been in situation where support is built and after breaking a wall near the support there was falling dust? Is there still a risk of a cave in within support range? Is this falling dust dangerous when in support range? I'd rather not find out the hard way - if the cave in broke the support (falling dust is literally 2 tiles away from the support) it could get really nasty...

Re: mining and ore smelting?
I've not any any problems with it, as long as the wall is under mine support. I even built that support near cave-in boulders and haven't had another since it went up.

Re: mining and ore smelting?
To make it clearer: it's either stone OR it's ore. Can't be both. the next tile MIGHT be ore, though. Been plenty of times I've knocked down a tile to find ore behind it.Nicstar543543 wrote:If I am only getting stones, like an inventory full, does that mean there is no ore, or I'm just unlucky?

Dust falls but the support does its work. mined already near one side of the max range of the support, nothing happened.Procne wrote:Has anyone been in situation where support is built and after breaking a wall near the support there was falling dust?

I hope they will insert some smaller cave way supports with lesser cost for a save way to the next vein. Had the unluck to get only gneiss in 6 full smelters of heavy earth in a row.
