: Occurs when opening a new tunnel from the surface. This message appears when there is already a tunnel ; The current tile needs to face the back or the sides of same direction as the adjacent cave entrance tile or if a tunnel is ahead but too far down to connect to. Surface mine down to reduce : Adjacent entrance tiles must all face the slopes, then attempt to tunnel againsame direction.
; The mountainside would risk crumbling. You can't open a hole here. : This message appears when attempting to create a mine entrance on a rock tile that is too steep. The maximum slope is 270. ; There is no space to mine here. Clear the area first. : This message appears when the tile occupied by the player has 100 a pile of items. Clear the area or move the character onto another tile and make a new pile of shards. ; You fail to produce anything here. The rock is stone hard. : This message appears when tunneling on the surface. This means the tile you 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. : This message also appears when mining down a floor and roof is too high, Can only be fixed by collapsing all affected tiles and re-mining. (In other words, if you want the tile flat collapse it and re-mine, if you want to lower it collapse all surrounding tiles and re-mine.) ; 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 keep mining here. The rock is unusually hard. : The message appears when attempting to open a tunnel directly onto a vein. ; The roof sounds strangely hollow and you notice dirt flowing in, so you stop mining. Breaking through the ceiling here would bury you alive.
; Current tile needs a flat border to correspond to lower part of adjacent cave entrance.
: This message appears when you need to surface mine the bottom slope of the adjacent tile to match the slope of the mine entrance, only when creating a multi-tile entrance.
; Lowering the floor further would make the cavern unstable.
: This message appears when ceiling is too high above the floor.

See example on Going from the rightother side down should work.
; Cannot have cave entrances meeting diagonallyA ''<item name>'' on the surface disturbs your operation. : This message appears when an item like a felled tree, an altar, a forge, large chest or other item is on the surface over or near the tile where you are attempting to mine or tunnel. Move the item to proceed.
; A surface highway interferes with your tunneling operation.: This message appears when there is another cave entrance diagonally. It can be two tiles away from tunneling would break through a highway on the tile giving the message. Mine out the adjacent tiles, so you can connect the two entrances by a tunnelsurface.

You cannot tunnel here: This message appears when you need to surface mine the bottom slope of the adjacent tile to match the slope of the mine entrance, only when creating a multi-tile entrance.
; The cave walls look very Lowering the floor further with such a high ceiling would make the cavern unstable. You cannot keep mining here. : This message appears when mining close to the top of the rock layer. The ceiling of the newly mined tile would break is too high above the rock layer. Can sometimes be avoided by mining downwards or by lowering the mine floor and opening the new tile a bit lower.
; The cave walls look very unstable echo strangely. There must be an open tunnel diagonal from the wall you are mining, and dirt flows inyou would need to approach it from a different direction.: This message appears when the tile being mined shares a single corner with an existing tunnel. You would To continue, adjacent tiles must be buried alivemined out before mining can continue on this tile. See example on the right.
; The cave walls look very unstable. Mining here would open a cave exit, but there aren't enough solid walls to support it, so you stop mining. : This message appears when the tile being mined will break out mining close to the surface, but top of the surface is not exposed rocklayer.

To open the entrance, as in a steep upwards dropshaft would the rock on the surface must be createdfully exposed. There is no fix for To continue mining forward this, though can sometimes be avoided by mining another wall, downwards or by lowering the mine floor and changing tunnel direction, may work. Going from opening the other side down should worknew tile a bit lower.
;The ceiling is too close.
:Occurs when using concrete to raise a floor tile that is less than 20 distance from the ceiling.
; The ground is too steep to mine at here. You need to make it more flat.
: This message appears occasionally when mining the floor down. The cause is unknown.
; You cannot create a tunnel here. The ground sounds strangely hollow, and there must be open space under the surface that would make the entrance unstable.: This message appears occasionally when mining there's already a tunnel on the floor downtile being tunneled. The cause is unknownAn entrance cannot be mined here.
; You hear crumbling beneath your feet. The ground sounds strangely hollow tunnel to the open cave underneath would be far too steep and brittleunstable. You have : Occurs when opening a new tunnel from the surface. This message appears when there is already a tunnel to the back or the sides of the entrance tile or if a tunnel is ahead but too far down to connect to. Surface mine down to abandon reduce the mining operationslopes, then attempt to tunnel again. :
; The mountainside would risk crumbling. You can't open a tunnel on a surface this steep.: This message appears when when there's already attempting to create a tunnel mine entrance on the a rock tile being tunneledthat is too steep. An entrance cannot be mined here The maximum slope is 270.
; The topology You realize you can't open a tunnel here makes it impossible to mine in a good way, because the surface is too flat.
: This message appears when trying to create a mine entrance on a perfectly flat rock tile. One corner must be lowered with surface mining to continue.<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 flat mine entrance. Mining downwards may work in this case.

; The water is too deep to mine here.
: This message appears when trying to mine too far under the water table.
: 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 strangely hollowdangerously weak and you stop mining. You It must mine be too close to the rock surface to continue.: This message indicates the rock layer above is very close to the other corners if you want ceiling, so there is no more room to create an openingmine further.

; This tile is protected by the gods. You are can not allowed to mine here. : This message appears when a GM protected highway tile above the tile that is being mined.
; There is no space to mine here. Clear the area first. : Deed permissions have disabled mining, This message appears when the tile occupied by the player contains 100 items. Clear the area or move the character onto another tile and at least one [[spirit templar]] exists to uphold the lawmake a new pile of shards.
; The rock sounds hollowYou cannot have cave entrances meeting diagonally. : This message appears when there is another cave entrance diagonally. It can be two tiles away from the tile giving the message. Mine out the adjacent tiles, so you will need to can connect the two entrances by a tunnel to continue .
; You fail to produce anything here. The rock is stone hard. : This message appears when trying tunneling on the surface. This means the tile you are attempting to [[surface mining|surface mine]] above excavate is actually an open 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 undergroundbelow 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 are already at get this message on.'' ; You hear falling rocks from the ceiling height other side of the wall. A deep shaft will probably emerge. : This message appears when there is already another minenearby, 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 is too hard to mine. : This message appears when you have tried attempting to mine into open a tunnel directly onto a vein, a reinforced tile or more rarely, happens a rock tile with stacked action when the wall breaks before you run out of actions (i.e. trying to mine thin air)salt.
; You are too unskilled 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).
; An altar of (deity) on You cannot reach the surface disturbs your operationceiling. : This message appears Occurs when an altar is directly above the tile you are trying to mine (possibly near the entrance?). Push cave ceiling that is more than 61 height away from the altar to another tilefloor.
