Reinforced Tunnels are mining support structures which prevent cave-ins in a 2x8 tile radius. They can be bit of a hassle to build due to requiring wood.
Reinforced Tunnels are the second tier of tunnel supports that stands aside of Mining support/columns:
- Timber Tunnel: 1x4 Tile Radius
- Reinforced Tunnel: 2x8 Tile Radius
- Stone Arch Tunnel: 3x15 Tile Radius
- Mine Support: 9 Tile Radius
- Stone Column: 11 Tile Radius
- Mine Beam: 13 Tile Radius
- Monumental Column: 30 Tile Radius
Note: Mined tiles will still show dust animation (see Mining page) when under the radius of the support, to warn of cave-in tiles, but caveins won't occur under support.
Reinforced Tunnel takes damage every time it prevents a cave-in. If not taken care of, this can eventually result in destruction of the Reinforced Tunnel which triggers a massive cave-in.
Caution: whenever any mine support is removed, all tiles under it are checked for unstable mine tiles. If there are unstable tiles within range, which are now, with the removal of the mine support, unsupported, the removal will cause a cave in. This means that you can now tear down mine supports without cave ins, if you still have proper support around it
