-*A recently collapsed rock tile may not require as many actions to re-open, however an ore tile will likely require many hundred, or even thousand, actions to remove.
+*Reinforcing a cave wall with a [[support beam]] will prevent the cave-in on excavated tiles on north, south, east and west of that reinforced wall. Once rock wall is reinforced it may not be mined, however on deed mayor or citizen can remove reinforced tiles with crowbar if they have permissions to do so.
-*Reinforcing a cave wall with a [[support beam]] will lower the chance of a cave-in on tiles surrounding that support.  Once reinforced they may not be excavated, however a mayor may mine out the support should it reside on their deed.  This would take approximately 50 actions just to remove the support.
+A cave wall reinforced with a [[support beam]] off deed can be removed by using [[disintegrate]] spell. Note that underground [[highway]]s are protected from cave-ins, thus tunnels for them dont require reinforcement on side walls.
