Still nothing. I fill the forge with coal, add 1 iron bar, equip my tongs, light it, smoke starts coming out all 3 chimneys and then out of only two. I stand directly at the bellow and right click it. Nothing happens, so I try the other two bellows standing at them right clicking, changing my position and right clicking them trying over and over at each bellow until the forge stops.

With just two people we can have all 3 slots filled with perfect timing on one doing coal and the belows while the other one puts in iron, pick up bloom and use the trip hammer. So it would be awesome to see more slots as it can still be managed with only two people but making it faster to produce more wrought iron for the bigger towns.

well I thought cave in's could happen in any level of mine?? but im still stuck on lvl1.. lol

So is there a trick to fining hard rock tiles? :( I hope didn't miss a memo that they don't show up in existing mines?? I hope not..

There is a very small, but possible chance that you can get a cave in with a single mine support. Only 2 supports guarantees no cave ins.

yes finery forge slots should be increased.
Currently it's 2 character job(one person). i use alt to keep finery hot and second char to hammer the bars. with 30-40% gap, one can easily use all three slots alone .

if you want it to optimise so 3 people use it, then yes increase slots, or decrease cooldown. atm you can take 2 blooms and trip them both before either one fails.
5-6 slots would be for the best :)

second thought, if mines in lvl 9 connect to all mines in world, then doesn't it become abuseable if one person makes 2 mines to lvl 9 or 10, make tunnel to connect them and then use shortcut to move chars from one part of the world to another in 10 min or less? Or it only connects to the mines within certain radius of the on ground world?

Unsure how true it is, but apparently level 9 is basically an under world, as big as the above world, and digging down into it, the ladder will represent the mine entrance on the above world.

Again unsure how true this is, but if it is true, it will be fun.

Im told to compair it to the nether from minecraft as an easy way to explain it. (If you played mine craft at any time)

Mmm bb you made the mining system sound so much sexier if this "underworld" really is real, talk dirty to me some more.
