Hmm, that is weird. I've never encountered any issues while using this mod for over 100 hours at this point. If you want, send me the savefile and I'll take a look at whether the mod's failing for some reason or was it all just mined out.

I went back to an old save, before I added the other mod, and did some testing by having the pawns dig through a large section of rock. And it did not always work, there were some roof collapse events, most small but on a second try with the same save, there was a large fatal one. It's possible some of it had been mined out before, before I started using this mod.

No natural caves on the map.

Hmmm... The only thing I can think of is if it was a cave. Cause the de-roof mine is an action that only works on a mineable tile, so if there was just a cave with a roof, it won't apply to the already mined-out parts of the cave, since it's a mining job that also removes the roof.

Either something in 1.65 fixed the removal issue, or it might have been an interaction issue with another mod that has since been updated, but removing it does work now. It was a while ago that I'd tried removing it and it didn't work.

As far as the deroof mining actually working or not, at the time I'd tried with the option turned on and off and there was no difference. Haven't tested it recently since the mod I switched to replaces thick roofs on a map with removable thin roofs. Until that mod, I literally had a bit of mountain over part of my base, because it didn't get removed when the stone was mined.

I just rechecked both of those things and they seem to be fine? Are you sure you enabled the removing thick roofs settings in mod settings? I believe it is off by default and when it's off the colonists will only remove "normal" roofs.
As for the game interface, I cannot seem to be able to reproduce that behaviour. I removed the mod and loaded my main save and the interface loaded fine. To test further I also made a separate save where I left a bunch of de-roof mine jobs scheduled on the map, then removed the mod and loaded the save, but everything was fine too. Must be a mod conflict of some sort.

Couple little notes. The option to remove thick roofs aka mountains did not seem to work, at least in 1.6. (I ended up getting another mod for that.) And this mod does not seem to be safe to remove from a saved game, trying to remove it causes the game interface to not show up at all.

That's a Steam Workshop bug iirc. Sometimes it just refuses to actually update the mod unless you unsubscribe and resubscribe.

Nevermind sorry I take my comment back, I just unsubbed, resubbed and restarted the game and now it works, even though 5mins this did not work. Anyway thank you very much for updating it!

This mod is not working for me sadly. When I put the order for de-roof mining, pawns go the spot but are just standing there, no mining happening. Reinstalled the mod, checked for the box in the options - nothing.

Thank you! This is a must-have mod.

Just updated for 1.6 support. Should work fine I hope (fingers crossed).

Does this work with 1.6?

yes its working now after a restart....weird

Works for me. Have you enabled removing overhead mountains in the Mod Settings?

does this mod still work? my miners have been getting crushed everytime they mine

Oh that is what you meant. Yeah that is by design. If I get some spare time I might look into checking if that can be omitted, but it shouldn't impact their timing that much, de-roofing takes less than a second.

Just to be clear, I didn't touch the toggle, I kept it off as per default. The pawn can't remove the overhead mountain, but he does the action as if he could (so he looses time).
I will check with empty modlist tomorrow to see

Just retested it and the toggle to remove overhead mountain works properly for me.

Love the idea!
The minor attempts to remove the overhead mountain even with the option turned off, could you fix it please?
Also, adding a gizmo on rocks would be appreciate, 'De-roof Mine' and 'De-roof Mine vein'.

It does work with the Tunneler if you put the de-roof mining order instead of the normal mining order, yeah.

does this work with mechanoids like the tunneler?

I forgot I had to enable the ability to remove overhead mountains in the mod options. My bad! Working perfectly!

Not working for me on 1.5 for some reason. Been using it for ages with 1.4. Still getting cave-ins with it.

Hell yeah, I'm glad to see this release on 1.5, I love this mod.

Thank you! I was using it anyway, and I don't think there were any issues, but still thanks!

Updated to 1.5, should be working fine now.

Has anyone tested this 1.5 without any other mods?

update to 1.5 please? :)

shame. means that you cant mine out caves. oh well.

Pretty sure that wouldn't work since you can only mine things that game defines as "mineable", so basically only raw stone types, silver, gold etc. You'd need to either spawn a stone under it with the dev tools (that already allow you to just delete a roof anyway so might as well do that) or build a raw stone block underneath with a different mod that allows that. This mod I only intended to work as an extra to mining, not a separate roof-deletion tool.

so to remove thick stone roofs (with that config on), that don't have anything under them would I need to place a wall or smthn there?

ah, i understand how to use this mod.

i keep try order to mining(vanila). so keep left roof.
i found de-roof mine button. and good work =D

people think this mod work to auto. they not click button to de-roof mine button.
so some people say not work this mod XD

anyway, thank you update 1.4

Yes that is correct. As I said it will not remove roofs that are standalone, only roofs over blocks that are being mined.

works for a bit then roof collapse, would i be correct in assuming that even though connected, roofs not supported by a mineable tile do not get mined?

a setting you say...

I tested on a fresh save and one of my older saves, seems to be working just fine. Are you sure you used the mod properly? As mentioned before in the comments, it doesn't work as just a 'remove roof' job, it works as a normal mining job would, except the roof above the block that is about to be mined gets removed first. Also if it was an overhead mountain roof, make sure you got the option to remove those toggled in the mod settings.

Well this doesn't work, roof collapsed killing miner

OMG would this not solve so much annoying infestations ?!!??

Testet on a "Fresh" Mountain... works good THX

Oooo...OK.

No no no, so basically: The mod adds a MINING job that will also remove the roof, so that means that if there is nothing to mine underneath, the roof will not be removed. So if you have had some places that you have already mined before installing the mod, or ones that just had the overhead mountain roof with nothing to mine beneath it, the mod will not let you remove that roof, for that I'm afraid you'll have to use something else, a different mod or the dev tools. I made this mod specifically for mining out mountains for personal use, just decided to upload it cause people might need it.

You mean i have to Place again walls into the Hills to deconstruct the Overhead??? In my case i still have 3-4 "Natural" blocks left that hold the overhead... Thin layers they been able to "deconstruct" as far i have seen... But at some Places i get a "Cave Ceiling" message... OK i will try building Walls below it

So you are using the De-Roof mine action on a mineable block, but the overhead mountain does not get removed yes? Because if you use it on just a roof that does not have anything underneath it, it will not work, there has to be a minable block below.

Base with ALL DLC... and i have NO special MOD for roof types (except your) I have following - Harmony, Humanoid Alien Races, More Monster Girls (+Enhanced Patch), Monstergirl Races, Faster Biosculper Pod, Advanced Moister Pump, Diet-Complicant Survival Meals, Targetin Modes, Wall Light, Nanotech Overpower... So NO other MOD that has spezial to do with Roof types etc... and by the Time i allready have Tested - There still the "Overhead Mountain" there for sure - I send a Miner there for Testing... He's dead... So the Shadow's is "real" Maybe i have to Start a new "Game" that your MOD is working. I dont know.

Do you have any other mods that impact caves and/or roofs in any way? Could be a mod conflict. Also which version are you running, base or with DLCs?

(German Version) Dont know but i get a message "Cave Celling can't be Removed" They remove some parts... but i still can see the Shadow of the Overhead Mountain. I wait a few Days now to see if something Changes. But i dont think so... ADD - Yes, i switched the "Option"

Like all settings, Escape->Options->Mod Settings, there you should have a list of all your mods that have configurable options. Choose De-Roof mining from the list and just tick the option on.

Where exactly is the ' option to remove mountains ticked in the mod settings' - in mods? Because my colonist are still getting killed and I've looked everywhere for this option to no avail.

If it doesn't work please make sure you have the option to remove mountains ticked on in the mod settings. Also the order won't remove already existing roofs that do not have a mineable block below them. For anyone having issues please at least give the context and doublecheck the settings. I cannot help anyone who just says it doesn't work with no further information.

Nor working for me. Even after issuing the new mining order, cave-ins kill my pawns.
