Mining support column radius indicator

[bakrael]

In the same manner that claims are "overlayed" I think that option for support columns should be included. One wrong tile and you are dead.

But with the overlay you can see what is being supported and what is not.

Agreed, I hate to place a fake support everytime I want to see if I can mine that next tile safely.

Maybe just make it an overlay for all things with a radius, that you can activate or deactivate.

Oh yes, that would be very useful.

Lets take this to the next step and have 'cave-in-hazard' vision with color coding green/yellow/orange/red showing the relative risk factor with each tile. You could see the initial safe zone along a wall without guessing. This type of 'vision' could be accessed with a new skill which has Mining as a prerequisite and costs maybe 10-20 K LP so it would be attractive to miners but not something everyone is going to go out and grab up.

Perhaps their could even be 'flaws' in the rock walls causing them to have +1 above the normal danger levels so getting this skill would actually give you access to something beyond what others could determine given the know cave-in rules. It also means their would be no completely safe tiles as that safe tile might be flawed which would make it a low danger tile instead.

a new "button" next to " show claim " preatty much a "show radious" worsk for everything that uses a radious, beehives, caves supports, all sorts of stuff.

Bump. I really want a toggle for this.
