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 : This message appears when the tile being mined will break out to the surface, but the surface mining to continueis not exposed rock.<br>This can also occur if both corners nearest To open the entrance, the lowest corner are rock on the same height.<br>Has also been reported underground, probably when surface must be fully exposed. To continue mining that tile would create a flat forward this can sometimes be avoided by mining downwards or by lowering the mine entrancefloor and opening the new tile a bit lower. Mining downwards may work in this case ;The ceiling is too close.; The mountainside would risk crumbling. You can't open a hole here. : 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 items. Clear the areafloor down. The 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 :This 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. Note that if you make the entrance one tile below  ; You hear crumbling beneath your feet. The tunnel to 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-mine, if you want to lower it collapse all surrounding tiles and re-mineslopes, then attempt to 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 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. : You get this <br>This can also occur if both corners nearest the lowest corner are the same height.<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. Mining downwards may work in this case. ; The water is too deep to mine You notice dirt flowing in, so you stop mining. Breaking through the ceiling herewould bury you alive. : You get this This message appears when you are trying mining the ceiling too close to the surface and it is not dug to mine too far under rock on the water tablesurface. ; The roof sounds strangely hollow. You must water is too deep to mine the other corners if you want to create an openinghere.: You get this This message appears when you are mining a cave ceiling and mined trying to outside corners heightmine too far under the water table.; The roof sounds : Also occurs when trying to open a tunnel in which the northwest corner of the tile being mined is at or more than 12 dirts below the water table.  ; The roof sounds dangerously weak and you stop mining. It must abandon this attemptbe too close to the rock surface to continue. : Indicates This message indicates the rock layer above is very close to to your mining of the ceiling, so there is no more room to mine further. ; You cannot reach the The rock sounds hollow, and you would breach a cave ceiling. : You can't mine the ceiling any higherneed to tunnel to proceed.; You are not allowed : This message appears when trying to [[surface mining|surface mine here. : Deed permissions have disabled mining]] above an open tile underground, and you are already at least 1 spirit templar exists to uphold the lawceiling height of the mine. ; The rock sounds hollow, you will need You are not allowed to tunnel to continue remove that reinforcement.: When trying This message appears when you have tried to Surface Mine above an open mine into a reinforced tile underground, and that you are already at the ceiling height of the minedo not have permission to remove. ; The rock cave wall is too hard to minealready destroyed, so you stop mining. : You This message appears after a wall breaks and you still have tried to mine into a reinforced tile or more rarely, happens with stacked action when the wall breaks before you run out of actions (ie trying mining actions left in your action queue (trying to mine thin air). ; You are too unskilled to mine hereThis tile is protected by the gods. : You have tried to surface can not mine higher than your skill allowshere. Freedom Formula: 3 x Mining SkillThis message appears when a GM protected highway tile above the tile that is being mined. Epic Formula: 1 x Mining Skill (Not-curved) ; There is no space to mine here. Clear the area first.; An altar of (deity) on the surface disturbs your operation. : You get this warning : This message appears when an altar is directly above the tile you are trying to mine (possibly near occupied by the player contains 100 items. Clear the entrance?). Push area or move the altar to character onto another tileand make a new pile of shards. ; This tile You cannot have cave entrances meeting diagonally. : This message appears when there is protected by the godsanother cave entrance diagonally. You It can not mine here. : GM protected highway be two tiles away from the tile above giving the tile that is being minedmessage.; A felled tree on Mine out the surface disturbs your operation. : A felled tree is laying over the surface of the tile where adjacent tiles, so you can connect the two entrances by a tunnel will be created. Occurs when mining from the inside out.. ; Current tile needs a flat border You fail to correspond to lower part of adjacent cave entranceproduce anything here. The rock is stone hard. : Need to This message appears when tunneling on the surface mine . This means the bottom slope of the adjacent tile to match the slope of the mine entrance. Only when creating a multi-tile entranceyou are attempting to excavate is actually an ore vein.There's nothing 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 and cannot be extended until the vein is depleted. The best course of action at this point would probably be to mine out a rock tile next to the one you get this message on.'' ; You hear falling rocks from the other 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. (PvP deeds may require at least one [[spirit templar]] to uphold the law.) ; You are not skilled enough to mine on such steep slopes.: This message appears when trying to surface mine higher than your skill allows. Freedom Formula: 3 x Mining Skill. Epic Formula: 1 x Mining Skill (Not-curved). ;You cannot reach the ceiling.:Occurs when trying to mine the cave ceiling that is more than 61 height away from the floor.  ;You need at least 21 Mining skill to install a stone or metal mine door.:Occurs when attempting to install a metal or stone mine door without 21 Mining skill ; Lowering the floor further would make the cavern unstable. : Occurs when ceiling is too high above the floor.
