Changes

Under some circumstances a warning message will appear in the events event window while mining or [[tunnel]]ling to inform the player that they are either unable to continue on the current tile or that continuing may cause unusual effects.

; The cave walls sound hollow. : Appears This appears when mining into another shaft and the height difference is not dangerous.

Mining will be no longer possible when receiving one of the following messages.:

; The cave walls sound hollow. A dangerous You hear crumbling on the other side shaft could emergeof the wall and the floor starts to crack. [The cave shudders from some imbalanceshaft would be too steep and unstable.] : Occurs inside a mine. This message appears when the undermining previous tile being mined shares above, as in a single corner with an existing tunnelsteep upwards dropshaft would be created. To continue adjacent tiles must be mined out before mining can continue on There is no fix for this tile, though mining another wall, and changing tunnel direction, may work. See example on Going from the rightother side down should work. ; Another tunnel is too close. It would collapseA ''<item name>'' on the surface disturbs your operation. : Occurs This message appears when opening an item like a new tunnel from felled tree, an altar, a forge, large chest or other item is on the surface. Caused when there is already a tunnel to the back over or near the sides of the entrance tile where you are attempting to mine or if a tunnel is ahead but to far down to connect . Move the item toproceed. ; The cave walls look very unstable. You cannot keep mining here A surface highway interferes with your tunneling operation. : Occurs inside This message appears when tunneling would break through a mine. Happens when mining close to highway on the top of the rock layersurface.  ; The ceiling current tile needs a flat border level with the bottom of the newly mined adjacent cave entrance.: This message appears when you need to surface mine the bottom slope of the adjacent tile would break to match the rock layer. Can sometimes be avoided by mining downwards or by lowering slope of the mine floor and thereby opening the new tile entrance, only when creating a bit lowermulti-tile entrance. ; The current tile needs to face the same direction as the adjacent cave walls look very unstable and dirt flows inentrance. You would be buried alive: Adjacent entrance tiles must all face the same direction. : Occurs inside  ; Lowering the floor further with such a mine. Happens when high ceiling would make the tile being mined will break out to cavern unstable.: This message appears when the surface, but the surface ceiling is not exposed rock. To excavate it too high above the rock on the surface must be fully exposedfloor. ; A dangerous crack is starting to form on The cave walls echo strangely. There must be an open tunnel diagonal from the floor. You will have wall you are mining, and you would need to find another wayapproach it from a different direction. [The cave shudders from some imbalance.] : Caused by undermining previous This message appears when the tile being mined above, as in shares a steep upwards dropshaft would be createdsingle corner with an existing tunnel. No fixTo continue, though adjacent tiles must be mined out before mining another wall, and therefore changing tunnel direction, worked on same can continue on this tile. Going from See example on the other side down should workright. ; The ground is too steep to mine at cave walls look very unstable. Mining here. You need would open a cave exit, but there aren't enough solid walls to make support it more flat, so you stop mining. : Occurs occasionally This message appears when mining close to the top of the floor downrock layer. The cause is unknown.; The ground sounds strangely hollow and brittle. You have ceiling of the newly mined tile would break the rock layer in a way that would try to abandon the mining operation. : Occurs on the surface when there's already a tunnel on the tile being tunnelled, form an impossible entrance cannot be mined here. This can sometimes be avoided by mining downwards or by lowering the mine floor and opening the new tile a bit lower. ; The topology here makes it impossible to mine cave walls look very unstable and dirt flows in a good way. : Occurs when trying to create Mining here would open a mine entrance on a perfectly flat rock tilecave exit, but the dirt above would bury you alive, so you stop mining. 1 corner must be lowered with surface mining to continue.<br>Has also been reported underground, probably : This message appears when mining that the tile would create a flat mine being mined will break out to the surface, but the surface is not exposed rock. To open the entrance. Mining downwards may work in , the rock on the surface must be fully exposed. To continue mining forward this case.; The mountainside would risk crumbling. You can't open can sometimes be avoided by mining downwards or by lowering the mine floor and opening the new tile a hole herebit lower.  ;The ceiling is too close.: Occurs when attempting using concrete to create raise a mine entrance on a rock floor tile that is too steepless than 20 distance from the ceiling. ; The maximum slope ground is 270.; There is no space too steep to mine at here. Clear the area first. You need to make it more flat. : Occurs This message appears occasionally when mining the tile occupied by the player has 100 a pile of itemsfloor down. Clear the areaThe cause is unknown. ; You fail to produce anything cannot create a tunnel here. The rock is stone hard. : Occurs on ground sounds strangely hollow, and there must be open space under the surfacethat would make the entrance unstable. :This means message appears when there's already a tunnel on the tile you are attempting to excavate is actually an ore veinbeing tunneled. There's nothing to do about it, you simply have to make your An entrance on another tilecannot be mined here.  ; You hear crumbling beneath your feet. Note that if you make The tunnel to the entrance one tile below the vein, the tunnel will open right into the vein open cave underneath would be far too steep and cannot be extended until unstable.: Occurs when opening a new tunnel from the vein surface. This message appears when there is depleted. The best course of action at this point would probably be already a tunnel to mine out a rock the back or the sides of the entrance tile next to the one you get this message on.: Happens when mining down or if a floor and roof tunnel is ahead but too high, Can only be fixed by collapsing all affected tiles and re-mining. (IOW. if you want far down to connect to. Surface mine down to reduce the tile flat collapse it and re-mineslopes, if you want then attempt to lower it collapse all surrounding tiles and re-mine.)tunnel again. ; The mountainside would risk crumbling. You hear falling rocks from the other side of the wall. A deep shaft will probably emergecan't open a tunnel on a surface this steep. : Occurs inside This message appears when attempting to create a mineentrance on a rock tile that is too steep. Caused when there The maximum slope is already another mine nearby, but there 270. ; You realize you can't open a tunnel here, because the surface is too much of a height difference to connect the two minesflat.; You cannot keep mining here.
