Posted March 2, 2016 I'm mining a 3 wide tunnel that slopes down. I hit iron on the rightmost set of tiles though: Spoiler I can get to the rock behind the iron to mine it out from the side: Spoiler But my assumption is that if I face that rock and mine down (or even forward), it would not do what I want. If/when I get around to clearing out the iron vein, I'd like the 3 wide tunnel to consistently slope down. I haven't done a great deal of mining, so I have to assume I'm overlooking something because it seems like a problem that anyone that's mined a sloped tunnel of any reasonable length will eventually run into. Let me know if I didn't explain this well enough and I can try again. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted March 2, 2016 mine up on the tile, then when it opens you can just mine the floor itself so that it matches :-) 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted March 3, 2016 Thanks, I hadn't thought of that. I guess it will make the ceiling uneven, but that seems preferable to the ground being uneven. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
