Mountain Miner (Continued)

Hmm, I guess that also means the rest of the map will not be reduced to thin rock roof then. That's cool, I'll check it out

@Monkey Magic This only affects roof in a one cell radius. There is no cave in risk.

I have seen a couple other mods that achieve this, and they convert the overhead mountain to thin rock roof. However this affects the entire map, which is probably not the best idea as this will stop infestations, and allow shit to fall through from above.

So, does this mod only affect the area one is targeting? I'd like to open out a section of mountain to the sky as it half covers a wind turbine, but I do not want the whole map to be thin rock roof.

Also curious is this can cause cave-ins while mining. I feel this should be an applied risk to the task at hand

I don't know how much work it would be to add, but it would be nice if there was a way to designate an area for mountain mining, that way if you're clearing an area smaller than 3×3 you can place the drill and not need to worry about pawns drilling an over large area, or the order the drill clears meaning that it clears somewhere extraneous first, and possibly even enabling pawns to automatically move drills around to clear areas once the current location is fully cleared.

Either way, I really like the mod; it enables really nice deep mountain bases, especially combined with a skylight mod.

awesome, thanks a lot, you are the best!

@GwinnBleidd I see, should be fixed now

to clarify DeadlyFISHYS's post (as I assume i have the same issue), tunneller mechanoids don't drill using mountain miners. They go towards them, start drilling and immediately stop, switching to wandering status.

@DeadlyFISHYS It should use the standard mining skill so I assume so

Can the tunneller mechanoids from biotech use the mountain drills?

@DeadlyFISHYS Not sure I understand the question?
