Support for big rooms
« on: March 17, 2012, 12:39:16 pm »
How big a room can you dig into stone without a cave-in, if any cave-in's would happend from that at all?

I'm asking this because i'm about to dig out a huge ass stockpile area, and i've always had some ceiling support in "big" rooms i've dug before.

Fire is awesome in this game. I should start another one.

No one with appropriate skills, so a bunch of jewelers are being promoted to Doctors. Hey, don't look at me like that. They know plenty about chiseling things off.

In this version, there is no limit to room size before cave in. In the 2D versions, a support was needed every 7? tiles.
