Destroying Mine Supports

[EnderWiggin]

Will destroying mine support cause collapse if all area protected by that support is covered by other supports? Are there any safe ways to remove unneded support?

[Kandarim]

currently you can safely remove supports, as long as they were not built directly under a cave-in.
I.e., if you build supports before any cave in is happening, you can safely remove it afterwards.

[EnderWiggin]

Well, most supports that placed inconviniently are those that I've placed under cave-ins. That's bad.

Indeed, The idea is that you should build support preemptively. Those who wait for the cave-in to THEN build their supports sacrifice the luxury of where the supports go.

well, you can remove it. let the cave-in happen. put your minesupport where you want it. remove all walls except for the one unter the cave-in.
