	==~~Grid Mining / Strip~~ Mining==		==Mining Styles==
	~~Grid mining consists~~ of mining ~~sections of blocks~~ in ~~between pathways to form many blocks of unmined rock~~, ~~with torches nearby to illuminate the contents of the blocks~~.		Selection of a mining style is up to the player, but may be influenced by in-game resources or available play time. Simpler styles can be quicker and produce ready rewards. More thorough methods require more time and use up [[tool]]s, but usually insure maximum results. Note that most ores are more abundant as depth increases and some are only found at deep levels.

	~~Strip mining has similar principles~~ of ~~grid~~ mining, ~~except the pathways are single directional~~ to ~~maximise area coverage with minimal stone deposits in inventory~~ and ~~time~~.		===Spelunking===
			The simplest form of mining is to explore [[cave]]s and look for visible ores. By opening passages where natural caves narrow, it is possible to expose long, winding paths through extensive areas. [[Water]], [[magma]], and [[Cave Troll\|cave trolls]] are typical hazards.

	~~The two type of power mining are used~~ to ~~search for a particular type of ore quickly because it gives full vision of the area to look for specific ores. Most commonly used in search of gold~~, ~~platinum~~, ~~and titanium ores. Many new block head users assume that a majority of ores can be found in caves~~, ~~but~~ in ~~actual fact,~~ the ~~lower down a block head goes,~~ the ~~more abundant the ores found~~, ~~which are NOT in caves~~, ~~but around caves~~.		===Grid Mining===
	~~Strip mining~~ is ~~an extremely efficient way~~ to ~~mine ores between cave regions~~.		A more thorough process is to dig regular passages vertically, horizontally, diagonally, or in some combination through the bedrock. This allows both the exposure of areas not accessible by natural caves and, with careful placement, visual examination of unmined stone for ore deposits. Planning is still required to overcome underground hazards.

			===Strip Mining===
			The most thorough mining method is to remove everything, although occasional platforms may be left or constructed for ease of [[travel]]. Water, if not left in place, can be relocated with planned draining into prepared basins. Strip mining produces large quantities of basic stone, which can be used for [[crafting]], [[construction]], or processed into [[gravel]] and ores using an [[Electric Press\|electric press]] and [[Electric Sluice\|sluice]].
