A cave-in can occur if the roof is detached from all walls. A room can be as large as you want to make it, as long as it is attached to at least one wall. The system is a bit buggy right now, so be careful.

Cave-ins can be disabled through the init file by deleting the 'YES' next to it and replacing it with 'NO'.

What happens in a cavein?

  • All buildings are destroyed
  • Columns of raw rock remain more or less intact, they just fall a bit
  • Anyone caught by the dust from the collapse is knocked unconscious with some (or none) injuries
  • Anyone directly caught by the collapse itself is crushed and killed.
