Notes
You need to attach a support beam to every wall of a cave tile to prevent the tile from collapsing. You cannot mine a reinforced tile, but it will help to prevent cave collapse.
Hint: If you are making the support beams outside of the mine, your best approach is to leave it unfinished (e.g. requiring a shaft or a ribbon) and place them in a cart as unfinished support beams will fit in to a cart where finished ones will not.
