Posted November 11, 2017 I am planning to mine out my village cave is such a way as to maximize natural cave-ins. (trying to get veins). I just want to clear up a couple questions I have about how cave-ins work these days. I understand that cave-ins no longer happen in the middle of open caverns, but how open does a cavern have to be to prevent a cave-in? I can assume a wide open cavern would prevent almost all cave-ins, so I didn't bother to illustrate it, but I illustrated a few other options that I think will work, and one that I'm pretty sure won't. The marble slabs indicate tiles I believe are "safe" from cave-in. A.) This one, I know, will cause a huge number of cave-ins, because my one tile wide caves get caved in all the time. B. and D.) These ones I only illustrated to see if my understanding of the cave-in system is correct. C.) I think this is the one that gives me the most tiles susceptible to cave-in. Please let me know if I've got the right idea, here, or if I've missed anything. Thanks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted November 15, 2017 I think you are correct in your assumption as my travels through tunnel canals have shown that cave-ins happen near other walls.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
