Resulting Product

  • Unfinished support beam
  • Support beam - 60.0kg

Usage

  1. Activate a support beam and right-click the cave wall, select "Reinforce Wall".

Notes

You need to attach a support beam to every wall of a cave tile to prevent the tile from collapsing. You cannot mine a reinforced tile, but it will help to prevent cave collapse.

Hint: If you are making the support beams outside of the mine, your best approach is to leave it unfinished (e.g. requiring a shaft or a ribbon) and place them in a cart as more unfinished support beams fit in a cart than finished ones.
