Day 444:
One of the challenges of digging haphazardly as one tends to do when one is addicted to ore and doesn’t have a good scan of the region is that one loses track of what one’s already done.
Which is to say that while digging out the chamber I’m in, looking for diamonds, I’ve accidentally dug directly above one of my other chambers.
Now there are pretty good chances that if there was any good ore in this space, I’ve already gotten it, because it’s rare that ore is nice enough to stay in the dimensions of my chambers
On the other hand, pockets of diamonds tend to be small, so there’s also a good chance that there’s something valuable hiding in here.
I think I’m going to continue to take my chances and dig it out, even if it means that I look back in a few days and realize I’m not getting closer to my socks.
