How do I... get out of here?

Long story short - I died.

Nonetheless, this situation doesn't really abide by any principle of game design or even just plain solid programming.

If you cause a cave in in real life you can create spots you can get in but not out. Cave ins are a function of game design and work flawlessly as in you always have a chance without support to cause one. And as for programming it can refill any tile with stone wall. Sorry but this happens in HnH. Have your buddy make a beacon and spawn on it.

I agree that that could happen in real life, but this game goes by simpler rules, I would expect that I can get in through an entrance and just as well be able to exit back if conditions remain the same.

I mean - how many would have expected this? Does anybody fully support that such a situation is acceptable and predictable to the average player? Would you wholeheartedly tout this as an "intended feature"?

Thanks - been here a while. I know bugs other such wackery is on the agenda, but I really had to vent.
And this sort of lenience is part of the problem, too.
I'll stop now.

What lenience? A cave-in is a cave-in.

A one-way cave-in is not a cave-in.

mm, true.

Could probably shoot this at the devs and see what they think.

The "simple rule" is that any tile can be covered no matter where. Anything beyond that is adding exceptions. Logically, no you're not likely to cause a cave in that lets you get in but not out (unless you consider scree from the cave in preventing a climb back up to the entrance).

Forwarding this to the devs to get a comment, or at least so they're aware of an issue.

You can shift + right click on cave to peek inside before go inside. Not solution, but maybe stop you from get into these position again.
