Hi all,

I had a smelter underground in a mine and wanted to build something next to it. I couldn't place the building neatly where I desired due to a mine support. I built another mine support nearby and destroyed the support in the way. Immediately the cave in dust appeared. stupidly I decided to let the cave in happen thinking a few rubble boulders would drop and probably destroy the smelter which I was willing and happy to replace.
What in fact happened was new mine tiles dropped and merged with the smelter. I am unable to mine these tiles yet right clicking them opens the smelter. It looks daft, like the smelter has a mine wall skin on it.
How can I get rid of these tiles? Anyone know?
If its not possible, the back end of the smelter has that ladder looking bit exposed so I suppose its an attack point. Last time I tried to knock down a ore smelter that wasn't actually on my claim, (it wasn't someone elses btw), I wasn't strong enough to do it. Am I right in thinking that the smelter would be classed as off claim as its down a mine?

Nothing is claimed in a mine.

Sounds like a game bug.

If you can't mine the tiles- put in a support ticket for JC to review.

Ok will do.

There's a screen shot to show you what I mean.

A bug report isn't necessary since we know it works this way. That's one of the risks you take when building in a mine. I'm not saying we definitely won't change it in the future, but it's not something we consider a bug.

The answer to Dallane's riddle is Arson skill and burning the smelter to the ground assuming it is the smelter's hitbox which is blocking the mine tiles.

You may not consider it a bug but it makes no sense at all. What is the point in covering the smelter with mine wall tiles? The smelter still works fine so they only thing that happens is something in the game looks retarded.

In my opinion, the smelter should have been destroyed. Or at least stop it working so that you are forced to destroy it, if you can. Then there is some serious risk to cave-ins.
