→‎Floor and ceiling mining: corrected sentences and the part about floor mining
=== Floor and ceiling mining ===
Mining the floor or ceiling of a cave does not create tunnels. Instead, it raises (for ceiling) or lowers (for floors) the cave. Note that , as with [[digging]], these actions affect the closest corner of the tile, and not the tile itself. A ceiling tile can be mined upward around 31 times before it is too high to reach(given that you haven't lowered the floor before you start). A floor tile can be mined downward a maximum of ?? times. Excavating a new tile from a tile that has raised ceiling or lowered floor does not open at those levels. The new tile will be standard height with the the ceiling and floor sloping as appropriate.
Excavating a new tile from a tile that has raised ceiling will not create a new tile with the same ceiling height as the adjacent: the new tile will have the standard ceiling height for cave tiles. However, if you have lowered the floor you might excavate a new tile at the same floor level. If you have mined down the two floor corners that are in contact with the wall you mine down the floor will stay at that level (the ceiling will still have standard height, but at the new level). This is very useful for making tunnels, for example for boats, as you only have to reach the wished floor level on the first tile and the rest will go along in accordance to it. Please Also note that when mining the floor you can create uneven surfaces. Making thus making it hard to move around in your mine. I would suggest mining straight, Left, right, up or down, don't combine say up and down For the best access in one tile, as a mine it will make is recommended not to mine the floor directly unless you have a plan for it. The actions "mine up" and next tile all weird. Instead "mine down " create somewhat predictable slopes of 20 and keep are good if you want a sloped passage, although floor mining down till that tile can be very useful if used in the right way. Proceed floor excavations with caution as the mining is not easily reversed. When digging you can always drop the dirt and refill the hole - this is removed'''not''' possible when mining.
