I think I went a little bit overboard. At first, I smoothed out the ground in the escape tunnel as I planned out last night. All two and a half kilometers of it. But then, I realized that the smoothed ground is too smooth and sturdy; It became too tiring to get to the mining area because my leg’s grip on the ground is becoming unsteady handling the—It’s a little bit slippery, that’s what I’m trying to say.

That said, I carved stone stairs on the left side to help me climb. I also added a guard rail to keep me on the smoothed track when sliding down.

To keep me hydrated when climbing up, I carved some holes on the wall of the tunnels and filled it up with some slime water pouches. The distance between them is about half a kilometer, and I intend to resupply them once every few days. I also installed a stone door on them to prevent debris—that I levitated while sliding down the path—from filling them. Now that I think about calling those holes them is kinda weird, so let’s call them drinking water shelves.

Anyway, the reason why I realized what I did a little bit overboard was because once I tried to slide down, the speed—it was just too fast. I lost control of the levitated, heavy stone debris behind me, and it became a landslide situation. The stones got everywhere in the cavern. It was a mess all around.

Fortunately, nothing died from being crushed by the stones. Small part of the fences surrounding the nuts field got hit a bit, but it was an easy fix. And the rest of the mess was just stones flying everywhere.

Should I try to construct a wall just in case I lose control, and a landslide happens again? But that would leave me trapped between the debris when I lost all control, right?

That’s right. I could construct a wall with a hole on it so that I can slide through the wall, and leave the wall to deal with the gravity, and all that.

That might be a good idea. Let’s do that tomorrow.
