if you build the vault under a lake, then you are pretty safe from mineholes

50x50, multiple brick walls, Mine out all the area you can each level, and make sure to check your area for people mining into you. Best thing for an underground vault; Don't make it obvious. Make it look like it doesn't even exist.

Oh thanks for all the replies! would a good idea be to make it look like an abandon hermit home with a mine hole and then dig to level 2 and under a lake?

If you do anything other than layer 1, you have to worry about people dropping a minehole in next to you. It's dangerous, but you could always cause lots of cave-ins. It makes it much harder for people to dig in at you without building up mine supports. (Suggested method is building mine supports and using an alt to break them so no real risk.) Then again, that much rubble along a dug out path might also attract the attention of others, too.

spawn a troll, and use it to bash your Vault, is a flaw.

this is one I had in world 5, important to block every minehole off on each layer
