Description

A wooden construction made from logs, planks and metal ribbons intended to support walls in mines.

Used in caves/mines/tunnels to create reinforced cave walls or reinforced cave floors.

Usage

  • Activate a support beam, right-click a cave wall or cave floor, and select "Reinforce".
  • The quality of a support beam does not matter; a 9ql and a 90ql support beam will function in exactly the same way.

Creation

  • The first log used in creation must be 24kg, however, the second may be 18-24kg.
  • When creating, the quality of the shaft affects your success chance.

Notes

  • Reinforced cave floors can have paving added after the application of mortar to provide a speed bonus.
  • Reinforced walls can be clad to provide additional aesthetic options.
  • A support beam is required on every wall of a cave tile to prevent collapses.
  • A reinforced wall on deed can be removed with easily on deed with a pickaxe or crowbar.
