Day 434: Back to mining

Day 434: I’m back down in the deep looking for diamonds.

Or rather, that’s the intent, but the ore that I’ve hit right now actually extends up a couple of floors in my weird world of colored chambers.

(I think I’ve mentioned it before, but I rotate between the colors of stone as I build down – granite, andesite, diroite, stone – so that I have a rough idea how many floors down I am just by counting how many times I’ve seen granite as I go down the steps.)

(I miss elevators.)

So I was all the way at the bottom of the world but then I hit this great patch of diorite which led into a patch of granite above it etc. etc. until now I’m three floors from where I started.

On one hand, I have to climb fewer levels of stairs to find a cache of supplies.

On the other hand, that’s a lot of digging.

So yeah, digging down from well above where I expect to find diamonds in the name of finding more diamonds. Normal for around here.

But I still haven’t taken my eye off the prize! Socks await!
