Day 594:
As threatened yesterday, I’ve started running rail out to the spot where I’m tunneling so i don’t have to do as much walking.
The problem with this (other than the part where trying to attach rails to stone floor is backbreaking labor) is that I have to walk to lay the rail.
But I have all the rails in the minecart, so I’m dragging it behind me on the newly-installed rails and at least the return trip at the end of the day was shorter.
Tomorrow, more rail.
