It's frustrating to have each of my dig projects suddenly be surrounded by an impossible cave and then have all of my workers die trying to fix it. This is the third map in a row that makes me not want to dig anymore. If caves were being generated before I started digging this wouldn't happen.

Thanks! I agree that their current generation method isn’t great but I don’t think they need to generate at game start. Even if they did you’d still come across them while digging. Instead I just need to give a big buffer between the cave and your mine. Plus I need to keep them from spawning so frequently.
