Skill and improvement




A support beam is a wooden construction made from logs, shafts, and iron ribbons intended to reinforce and support cave walls in caves/mines/tunnels.

Usage

Notes

  • When creating, the quality of the shaft affects your success chance.
  • A support beam is required on every wall of a cave tile (both sides) to prevent the tile from collapsing.
  • A reinforced wall can be mined but not excavated.
  • Support beams may be removed by mayors and villagers of a deed if the reinforced tile is on deed by mining the tile 40-50 times
  • Support beams cannot be removed otherwise, not even by collapsing the tile that holds the support beams with a shaker orb. Because the support beamed tile is the tile holding rock, not the empty tile.
  • Finished support beams do not fit into a small cart, rowing boat or small sailboat, however a large cart can hold 7 finished support beams.

Hint: If making a support beam outside of the cave, and using a small cart (or rowboat) to transport them, the best approach is to leave the beam unfinished (requiring a shaft or a ribbon), and finish it inside the cave.
