Game Development: Monumental Tunnel

[Malagast]

by the way, since this thread is full of chatGPT bots i'll selfessly be the voice of reason and tell you that the new wooden mine support is completely fucking useless

if it's going to be a 1-wide tunnel it needs to be significantly longer than 4 tiles, else its just worse than the much older wooden support and impractical for anything besides MAYBE decoration

These new supports are useful /efficient for making tunnels and that's it. Going from A to B. I believe that the word tunnel is in the update title in case you missed it. They look pretty nice to boot too don't you think? =)

thanks chatGPT

I hope you have a long lasting relationship with chatGPT since you talk so lovingly about it, but you do know that some mining tiles don't cause cave ins so you might be lucky and not have to build other tunnel support for a long while until you add another 4 tiles? 1 bar vs 1 nugget to simply go straight is more efficient don't you think? That is the whole purpose.

what could it possibly mean

That is the whole purpose.

This prop is good if you need to reach a certain point. It's less effective than a stone pillar, but much better than a wooden one:
- for 1 ingot of "junk" metal (10 pieces) and 1 log of wood, you can dig a tunnel 1 square long.

As mentioned above, you can often dig easily without props, and only add them when dust gets in the way.
And yes, as a decoration it looks great.

Of course, if they suddenly decide to extend the tunnel by 1-6 cells, I won’t say “Return it to how it was!”

Forgot to say the other day
Nice job keeping to a frequent update schedule and communicating more

A road map of your plans/expectations for future updates would rly be nice

Mining has gotten harder every world.
I think its fair to just remove nugget requirement for tunnel support just to give the noobs a helping hand

or make it a bar, but let it extend like palisade
