Day 169:
While digging out one of the biggest caverns I’ve dug out so far, I’ve discovered that a whole nest of different caves come together just outside what I’m building as the bracing walls for this cavern.
I discovered it because zombies have been falling into that area all day.
They make a weird groaning squish sound when they fall off a cliff. And it makes them a bit easier to kill, although I feel a little more guilty slaughtering zombies with broken legs. Not that I think they’d hesitate to kill me if I got within reach. They’ve made it clear they would.
Anyway, it’s interesting not only because I can see vast layers of different kinds of ore and stone and geologic history on these caves, but also because it implies that there’s a way in or out somewhere above. (I mean, unless the zombies are breeding within the caverns, but I’m not sure I want to know what they’re eating if they are.)
And most of them appear to head toward the big mountain.
So when I’m done this massive cavern I’m framing out, I will be digging up for the first time in a while.
