Caves

Caves are large cavities underground in certain regions, mostly mountainous areas. They were added in Update 0.9.0. They may also be found relatively commonly on the surface.

Types of Caves
There are several types of caves:


 * Small caves are caves with dead ends and few ores.


 * Wormhole caves are circular pits that go down, exposing the cave.


 * Medium caves are larger and contain more valuable ores than a small cave would.


 * Large caves are extremely large and go down very deep and often exposing very valuable Ores. Diamonds can be found in some areas where lava lakes are.
