Thick Roof Miner

Description
When a thick roof collapses the roof is actually destroyed, but the collapsed rocks left behind are now much more durable and will take serious effort to remove.


More Details
In vanilla Rimworld, if a thick mountain roof collapses the roof doesn't actually go anywhere. It just spawns in a collapsed rock wall in its place, but when that's mined away the roof is still there. This mod makes it so a thick roof collapsing gets rid of the roof. The collapsed rock wall left behind now has 5000 maximum hit points, with the actual hit points determined by how deep it is inside the mountain. Closer to the outside = less hit points = quicker to mine.


Extra Features
  • Tweakable Options: Collapsed rock max hit points and the depth search radius are configurable on the mod settings screen, as well as the percent chance that a collapsed rock will drop a chunk or resources when it is damaged through mining.

Vanilla Changes
  • Collapsed Rock Walls no longer support roofs.
  • Collapsed Rock Walls have a maximum of 5000 hit points
  • Collapsed Rock Walls have a chance to drop a resource every time they are damaged through mining. The exact drop rates can be changed in the mod configuration menu.


Special Thanks
Thank you Dr. Zhivago for giving me the idea to make the difficulty of clearing a roof dependent on the depth in the mountain.

5k doesn't seem like much when you're mining the actual mountain above...?

I start in the center of where I want the hole and dig around it until it's all cleared, by the time the center collapses the pawns are pretty far away from it.

How are ya'll mining the roofs to prevent pawns from getting crushed? I am just having carefully mine the last edge piece last but is tedious. Any better options?

so how bout mining the thick roof before it collapses? Tunneller mechanoids work with this? & can we add thick roofs if we're building in a mountain?

Well, regardless, I just tested it, this mod is collapsing thick roofs as it should, so your problem is due to another mod.
