| − | + | Miners will '''mine out from each other's feet''' if you let them. This is a bug. Currently the best way to prevent this from happening is to turn off the mining [[labor]] off all dwarves but one. Push {{k|v}} near a miner to view the dwarf, then push {{k|p}} to bring up Preferences. Next push {{k|l}} to bring up the labor screen. Push enter to deselect mining. It will be white when enabled and grey when disabled. Or, you can simply busy your miners with other tasks while leaving one free. | |

| + | ==Getting Stuck in a Corner While Channeling== | ||
| + | Another problem with channeling is that miners have no problem channeling themselves into a corner. If you wanted to dig out an area that looked like this (where the hashes are solid rock and the hyphens are the places you wanted to channel): | ||

| + | You would either have to tell the miner to dig the back row and wait for him to do it, then tell him to dig out the middle row, and then next the far left square, then the middle square, and lastly the far right square, like so: | ||
| + | <pre> | ||
| + | ### # | ||
| + | #345# | ||
| + | #222# | ||

| + | </pre> | ||
| + | Or you could dig a path around the part you wished to channel, taking care that the miner dug out the middle channel before digging out all the channels on the sides. | ||
