Caves? Hm... I knew they were looking into such things, but I didn't expect it for release. Veldern is now very happy.

Hopefully we'll be able to secure the caves with a door or something. Would make for an excellent tribal storage or last ditch attempt of a defense :)

I think the thing they were "looking into" was the idea of players creating caves via mining (similar to Wurm). I doubt the caves that will make an appearance soon are anything more than static meshes. Not that they aren't welcome. Things like this will go a long wait towards adding variety to the landscape. I'm curious now if they have other static objects planned for decorating the landscape.

We won't have tunneling for a while as it would require a major revision of how the terrain is stored. It's something I will definitely consider for the future.

We will have some natural caves soon though, and I think once the building system is in players will favor real walls and ceiling instead of caves. :)

... I guess that this is a different kind of caves, perhaps something is dropped as a roof or so :)
Or, and that after thinking a minute is more likely, they are just "there" as a part of nature, not beeing build by players. Well, we'll see ;)
