Posted February 3, 2016 The cave walls look very unstable. You cannot keep mining here. Occurs inside a mine. This means the tile being mined is adjacent to a cave entrance, and cannot be opened. There's nothing to do about it, except wait for that entrance to collapse. This error message also appears if you are trying to mine a tile that is too close to the surface. I have this happening to my mine, and i'm 20 tiles away from a mine entrance. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted February 3, 2016 http://www.wurmpedia.com/index.php/Mining_warnings This is in the wiki: Quote The cave walls look very unstable. You cannot keep mining here. Occurs inside a mine. Happens when mining close to the top of the rock layer. The ceiling of the newly mined tile would break the rock layer. Can sometimes be avoided by mining downwards or by lowering the mine floor and thereby opening the new tile a bit lower. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
