NOTE: Improved compass and tool tip mods will help you with corner height.

For the best results, I use 33 slope between top and bottom corners of the entrance tile (outside).

To create a flat mine entrance:

Method 1:

• Align the floor and ceiling corner heights (inside) with those of the entrance tile (outside). Mine out from the inside. You should now have a flat entrance.

Method 2:

• Tunnel in, which puts you down 20 slope, tunnel up the next tile inside (reversing the 20 slope), then mine one tile in to get a flat tile. Fill in the down and up slope tiles, then mine straight out. You should now have a flat entrance.
