Invincible dwarves

If I want my miners to be able to survive 7+ z-level falls or massive amounts of rock collapsing onto them, what would I do? Raise the damblock, or is there some other tag I can add?

Nothing can survive rocks falling on them, that's instadeath.

This is a exceptionally prepared stack of 3 vertex. It forms the shape of a triangle.

Raising the Damblock will help, another thing that would also help would be to raise the size token as well.

It would be brutally difficult and probably won't work. In other words, it's absolutely dwarven!

Actually, a creature can survive falling rock if it is knocked out from under the collapsing tile during the cave in.  To make it more able to survive that, up size and damblock to insane levels.

Alternately: The Brick Testament. It's a really fun look at what the bible would look like if interpreted literally. With Legos.
Just so I remember

Alright, I'll try that or I may just use a support and a lever to drop the big thing I need dug out.

Thanks though, I'll keep all that in mind.
