Day 645:
I’m still trying to figure out what to do with the holes I’ve dug into the earth to mine out the valuable stone inside when they don’t go anywhere useful.
Right now I’m building stairways down because, well, if someone falls down there (even a monster), they should be able to get back up. That’s just ethical mining.
But it means I’m building stairwells that often end at the surface of a wall or the edge of a cliff, because the end of the stairwell is accessible that way, even if it’s not the ideal way to build out an area.
I’d put in floors like I do for my main chambers, but let’s face it: nobody like a mine where the floors don’t line up, so I prefer not to put in floors unless they immediately connect to other floors.
Which, for all I know, this one might. It’s only across the river from the places I’ve already dug out, so there’s no good reason they can’t connect sometime in the future.
Just not tonight.
