Supports hold up the mine to prevent cave-ins.

Don't mine near the edge of the circle, because it won't prevent cave-ins.

Quoted from Loftar:

<SuperDaddy> Does it count if the radius is touching part of the tile?

<loftar> Well, to be precise, it needs to touch the exact center of the tile.

<loftar> Also, I should probably reveal so much that existing cave-in boulders *vastly* increase the likelyhood of new cave-ins

Also removing existing mine support causes massive cave-in, so plan accordingly.
