A question about automining...
« on: November 15, 2020, 12:42:28 am »

I'd like to use automining on some veins that I'm currently mining by hand, but I'm concerned that my miners might mine out some walls that I don't want them to mine out.

Is there any way to protect the walls from automining, or am I better off designating by hand?

Really hoping somebody puts this in their signature.

I have that concern when auto-mining near cavern walls that show ore. If you set a 'm'arker 'd'ig designation on the cavern wall, then the auto-mining designation will not overwrite it, allowing you to safely auto-mine near the cavern wall.
