Description

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

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

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.

Additional Notes

• A support beam is required on every wall of a cave tile (both sides) to prevent the tile from collapsing.
• A reinforced wall can be removed by mining it out if it is on deed.
• A reinforced floor can be mined to remove beam reinforcement with 21 body strength. No shard is produced in this process, and the slope does not change.
• Finished support beams do not fit into a small cart, rowing boat, or small sailboat.
