Mine Support removal question

Post by sarkum »

I have a mine support that is in the way. If I place another support or supports that will cover the area covered by the problem support, can I safely destroy the problem support? Or will this cause a cave in regardless of other supports placed? Thx in advance.

You can never safely break a mine support. It will always cause a cave in. Building another support there first will actually increase the chances of a chain reaction. Anything without a soak gets destroyed by boulders, and this includes mine supports. (Just another reason to make sure to spread supports out as efficiently as possible.)

Use an alt just in case.
