How do I secure a mine?
I learned it the hard way that this game has extensive physics and tunnels and buildings can actually collapse. Since I recently finally acquired the plans for the forge, I am looking to get some ores going and want to start some mining.
I read in various other places that it would be wise to secure the mine with supports. Now my question is, what are supports and how do I place them best to prevent any tunnel from collapsing?
Best Answer
Mining a tunnel is more or less safe, however there are some things to keep in mind.
Be careful if you are thinking of mining big rooms, as mining too big without supports will cause your mine to collapse on your head and possibly kill you. To counteract this make sure you leave support pillars. From http://7daystodie.gamepedia.com/Mining#Mining_Notes I have never played this game. Just wanted to help, and the bounty helped encourage, even though I know I wont get the bounty.
