Mining Features

Minesweeper mode

  • Records cave-in dust observations and shows the remembered danger level on mined tiles.
  • Observations are remembered between sessions but are only recorded while you are nearby.
  • Use the values as an aid when judging cave-in risk, not as a guarantee that a tile is safe.

Simplified cave tiles

  • Replaces cave terrain with a simplified, high-contrast presentation.
  • Requires relogging after the setting changes.

Mine support coverage

  • Displays the actual covered tiles for mine supports and the safe area around minehole ladders.
  • Single, overlapping, virtual, and damaged coverage each have a configurable color.
  • Coverage opacity is configured on the same page.
  • Damaged support coverage is shown in the damaged color.
  • Use the Toggle mining coverage keybinding, Ctrl + D by default, to show or hide the overlay.
  • After changing opacity, toggle the coverage off and on to apply it.

Coverage may look uneven when a support is placed away from the center of a tile.

Mined-item history

Mined-item history and settings

Enable Show mined items on map to display icons and qualities where you saw items being mined. This setting requires relogging.

  • Never hides the group.
  • Threshold shows only records at or above the configured quality.
  • Always ignores the quality threshold for that group.

Groups include ores, stones, gemstones, Cat Gold, Petrified Seashells, and Quarryartz. The history is remembered between sessions.
