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. ; The mountainside would risk crumbling. You cannot tunnel hereA ''<item name>'' on the surface disturbs your operation. : Occurs This message appears when opening an item like a new tunnel from the surface. Caused when there is already felled tree, an altar, a tunnel to the back forge, large chest or other item is on the sides of surface over or near 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. Surface mine down to reduce the slopes, then attempt to tunnel again. ; 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 minehighway on the surface. Happens when mining close to  ; The current tile needs a flat border level with the top bottom of the rock layeradjacent cave entrance.

Happens when  ; Lowering the tile being mined will break out to floor further with such a high ceiling would make the surface, but cavern unstable.: This message appears when the surface ceiling is not exposed rocktoo high above the floor. To excavate it the rock on the surface  ; The cave walls echo strangely. There must be fully exposed.; A dangerous crack is starting an open tunnel diagonal from the wall you are mining, and you would need to form on the floor. You will have to find another way. [The cave shudders approach it from some imbalancea different direction.] : Caused by undermining previous This message appears when the tile being mined above, as in shares a steep upwards dropshaft would single corner with an existing tunnel. To continue, adjacent tiles must be created. No fix, though mined out before mining another wall, and therefore changing tunnel direction, worked can continue on same 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 floor downtop of the rock 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 operationform an impossible entrance. : Occurs on This can sometimes be avoided by mining downwards or by lowering the mine floor and opening the surface when there's already new tile a tunnel on the tile being tunnelled, an entrance cannot be mined herebit lower.  ; The topology cave walls look very unstable and dirt flows in. Mining here makes it impossible to mine in would open a good waycave exit, but the dirt above would bury you alive, so you stop mining. : Occurs This message appears when trying the tile being mined will break out to create a mine the surface, but the surface is not exposed rock. To open the entrance , the rock on a perfectly flat rock tile. 1 corner the surface must be lowered with surface fully exposed. To continue mining to continue.<br>This forward this can also occur if both corners nearest sometimes be avoided by mining downwards or by lowering the lowest corner are mine floor and opening the same height.<br>Has also been reported underground, probably when mining that new tile would create a flat mine entrancebit lower. Mining downwards may work in this case.  ; The mountainside would risk crumbling. You can't open a hole hereceiling is too close. : Occurs when attempting using concrete to create raise a mine entrance on a rock floor tile that is too steep. The maximum slope is 270less than 20 distance from the ceiling.; There The ground is no space too steep to mine at here. Clear the area firstYou 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 An entrance cannot be mined here.  ; You hear crumbling beneath your feet. The tunnel to do about it, you simply have to make your entrance on another tile. Note that if you make the entrance one tile below the vein, the tunnel will open right into the vein cave underneath would be far too steep and cannot be extended until unstable.: Occurs when opening a new tunnel from the vein is depletedsurface. The best course of action at this point would probably be to mine out This message appears when there is already a rock tile next tunnel to the one you get this message on.: Happens when mining down back or the sides of the entrance tile or if a floor and roof tunnel is ahead but too high, Can only be fixed by collapsing all affected tiles and re-miningfar down to connect to. (IOW. if you want 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-minetunnel 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 is too much of a height difference to connect the two mines270. ; You cannot keep mining here. The rock realize you can't open a tunnel here, because the surface is unusually hardtoo flat. : The This message displayed appears when one attempts trying to open create a tunnel directly onto mine entrance on a veinperfectly flat rock tile. One corner must be lowered with surface mining to continue.; The roof sounds strangely hollow and you notice dirt flowing in, so you stop mining<br>This can also occur if both corners nearest the lowest corner are the same height. : You get this <br>Has also been reported underground, probably when mining that tile would create a ceiling too close to the surface and it is not rockflat mine entrance.

Clear the area or move the character onto another tile and make a new pile of shards.  ; You can not mine herecannot have cave entrances meeting diagonally. : GM protected highway This message appears when there is another cave entrance diagonally. It can be two tiles away from the tile above giving the tile that is being minedmessage. Mine out the adjacent tiles, so you can connect the two entrances by a tunnel. ; A felled tree on the surface disturbs your operationYou fail to produce anything here. The rock is stone hard. : A felled tree is laying over This message appears when tunneling on the surface of . This means the tile where the tunnel will be createdyou are attempting to excavate is actually an ore vein. Occurs when mining from the inside out.; Current tile needs a flat border There's nothing to correspond do about it, you simply have to lower part of adjacent cave make your entranceon another tile. : Need to surface mine ''Note that if you make the bottom slope of the adjacent entrance one tile to match below the slope of vein, the mine entrancetunnel will open right into the vein and cannot be extended until the vein is depleted. Only when creating a multi-tile entrance.; Lowering the floor further The best course of action at this point would make probably be to mine out a rock tile next to the cavern unstableone you get this message on. : Occurs when ceiling is too high above '' ; You hear falling rocks from the floorother side of the wall.A deep shaft will probably emerge. : This message appears when there is already another mine nearby, but there is too much of a height difference to connect the two mines. ; You cannot create a tunnel here. The stone under the surface is something harder than normal rock.: This message appears when attempting to open a tunnel directly onto a vein, a reinforced tile or a rock tile with salt. ; You are not allowed to mine here. : Deed permissions have disabled mining.
