Legacy talk:Mining

I think that Mining#How_to_mine could use some organization as that mass of text looks too long. Perhaps it could be separated into 2 or 3 sub-sections. Just a suggestion, I'm too much of a lazy ass to fix it myself--Deadguy60 19:56, 23 May 2012 (EDT)

Cave-ins

Looking for information about what's new with mining in World 7, information about cave-ins are in the pages:Mine Hole and Mine Support. I was thinking of creating a subsection in this page about cave-ins. I'd also like to mention that there isn't a page for the object that people call Cave-in Boulder. --Deadguy60 (talk) 20:26, 30 August 2013 (EDT)

Mining Ability

Was curious how much MA I need for level 3 as I am just working on my mine hole to level 3 however there was not a lot of info around. Did some tests with tools I have on level 2, so the information was available, please add whatever you test.

Mining Strategy (archived)

You can mine zig-zagged lines north south east and west without getting cave-ins and putting mine supports down everywhere. This method is best for mining tunnels to do prospecting. Start by putting a mine support down with this you can do a zigzag in any direction listed above. To start mine 3 tiles in the direction that will be zig-zagged then turn right or left mine 2 tiles then another 2 tiles in the direction your going then back whichever direction you first chose and repeat. Doing this will not create any straight line longer than 3 tiles. DO NOT use this technique for going diagnal it always causes cave-ins when leaving the mine support radius.

The zig-zag pattern can be easily walkable by removing the center tile in the zig-zag. To do so is tricky and often ends in a cave-in. You must stand behind the center tile near the wall E.G.

Stand on the X tile and mine the center W tile. You will be mining diagonally. It might be best just to build and space out mine supports to safely create the straight path.

Safety and Cave ins

Used image: File:Mine-hole-safe-tiles.png

Note: Mining is not my subject, so I don't know right from wrong here. But ...
If the bright red tiles in the image are the tile that are save to mine without mine-support. It might be better to color them, well ... green. Red in general signifies danger, or don't go there. Kinda tossing up a bit of ambiguity in the mix here.
A bit of the same for the use of the word "Some" here. As the red border-tiles out-count the none colored border-tiles.)
