Those damn black tiles

[iordanis21]

Hello to all!

The link below is the maze that i have created out of my mine. I have been working on that level(6) for about 2+ months.
What i want to ask is, if there is a chance that the black tiles can be in the bluish areas. In previous levels, there were quite big and it was hard to miss them mining that way.

Thanks

Also, i would appreciate if someone can tell me about a better way on mining single tiles. My way is chaotic

If there are any black tiles in those area then they are very small. Your best bet would be make long tunnels N, E and S. You should hit it soon enough.

As you can see: http://game.salemthegame.com/mt/ss/8c40 ... 67a1f742ac on this level I didn't have alot of black rock around lader. There was just one tiny vein of black rock, and it spawned cave down. It is a matter of luck.

oh boy!! My effort compared to yours is nothing!

Thanks again! I will follow your advise on long tunnels in each direction.

Those ways of mining are very unnefective. Consider black walls the bigger veins in the mine. If you mine like that you will get through the same veins over and over again.
The most effective way is to just mine around a big square and then through it just to make sure there is no black walls in the middle.
