Question about mines
How far from the hole can you dig without the mine collapsing?

Re: Question about mines
From what I've heard, it can be even one tile in if there isn't a support.

Well, that sucks, becausee you need metal to build a mine support and my village has no metal.Dinotron wrote:From what I've heard, it can be even one tile in if there isn't a support.

Someone suggested that people should make alts to get the first ore to build a support.Paladiri wrote:Well, that sucks, becausee you need metal to build a mine support and my village has no metal.Dinotron wrote:From what I've heard, it can be even one tile in if there isn't a support.

Re: Question about mines
Make an alt, grind up lp, mine, die, and be glad you can get supports now.
A little side suggestion, try searching things up before you post. There has already been 2 or 3 threads about this.

Re: Question about mines
It shouldn't cave-in if you are not standing on a mined out tile. Also the presence cave-in boulders will make cave-ins much more likely.
If you keep focusing on the shadow behind, you will not see the light in front of you.

Re: Question about mines
I hope your talking about a natural cave then and didn't just build a mine hole somewhere without even prospecting, it'd be a massive waste of resources and effort. If it's a cave grab an alt and mine one tile out of the wall every now and and again wherever you can till you hit ore.
