Rimworld Mining Roof

So i try to remove the mountain roofs so they don t collapse by declareing a no roof area but on some tiles it will never be possible to declare that area and if i let the roof collapse and remove the debris it just collapses again presumably forever since i tried removing it 15 times and it still collapsed.

Rimworld mining roof. For some reason the regular rock areas collapsed as i was mining them. So if you mine a roof that has already collapsed it re collapses and kills you immediately. If it s an overhead mountain collapsing colonists will be buried alive. This means that the largest square room you can have is 10x10 internal.

You can avoid a collapse by either not mining the whole thing or building a wall to support it. You didn t mine out a mountain you mined out a hill. So this took out 4 people. Roof collapses cause injuries to colonists and damage items.

So i then took some guys and mined the collapsed roof at which point they each died as they finished their square. A roof collapses if there s no support rock wall within 6 squares of the tile. Any square 9 x 9 or bigger should have 1 support right in the middle. Each extraction cycle takes a base of 14 000 ticks 3 89 mins of work to finish modified according to the colonist s mining speed stat.

What can i do about this. A roof will collapse if the last supporting wall or rock is removed whether by mining deconstruction or destruction. When i say add in i meant not dig that area though you can add in the supports stone or metal before the hole reaches critical size. Use the planning tool to mark out your planning mining and add in the support columns based on the size of the hole you ll be leaving.
