That's a Steam Workshop bug iirc. Sometimes it just refuses to actually update the mod unless you unsubscribe and resubscribe.
What-ever 12 Jul @ 4:02am 
Nevermind sorry I take my comment back, I just unsubbed, resubbed and restarted the game and now it works, even though 5mins this did not work. Anyway thank you very much for updating it!

This mod is not working for me sadly. When I put the order for de-roof mining, pawns go the spot but are just standing there, no mining happening. Reinstalled the mod, checked for the box in the options - nothing.
Mr. Bildo 11 Jul @ 7:34am 
Thank you! This is a must-have mod.
AllMeaningless  [author] 11 Jul @ 7:31am 
Just updated for 1.6 support. Should work fine I hope (fingers crossed).
What-ever 11 Jul @ 7:21am 
Does this work with 1.6?
PapaJuicy 28 Apr @ 12:03pm 
yes its working now after a restart....weird
AllMeaningless  [author] 27 Apr @ 11:31am 
Works for me. Have you enabled removing overhead mountains in the Mod Settings?
PapaJuicy 27 Apr @ 11:12am 
does this mod still work? my miners have been getting crushed everytime they mine
AllMeaningless  [author] 11 Sep, 2024 @ 1:02am 
Oh that is what you meant. Yeah that is by design. If I get some spare time I might look into checking if that can be omitted, but it shouldn't impact their timing that much, de-roofing takes less than a second.

Just to be clear, I didn't touch the toggle, I kept it off as per default. The pawn can't remove the overhead mountain, but he does the action as if he could (so he looses time).
I will check with empty modlist tomorrow to see
AllMeaningless  [author] 10 Sep, 2024 @ 4:36pm 
Just retested it and the toggle to remove overhead mountain works properly for me.
Yoann 10 Sep, 2024 @ 1:20pm 
Love the idea!
The minor attempts to remove the overhead mountain even with the option turned off, could you fix it please?
Also, adding a gizmo on rocks would be appreciate, 'De-roof Mine' and 'De-roof Mine vein'.
AllMeaningless  [author] 24 May, 2024 @ 4:17pm 
It does work with the Tunneler if you put the de-roof mining order instead of the normal mining order, yeah.
Cruel Moose 17 May, 2024 @ 2:12am 
does this work with mechanoids like the tunneler?
Fawx 16 May, 2024 @ 5:33pm 
I forgot I had to enable the ability to remove overhead mountains in the mod options. My bad! Working perfectly!
Fawx 16 May, 2024 @ 4:56pm 
Not working for me on 1.5 for some reason. Been using it for ages with 1.4. Still getting cave-ins with it.
D9sinc 17 Apr, 2024 @ 8:48pm 
Hell yeah, I'm glad to see this release on 1.5, I love this mod.
Your Eethral Swab 17 Apr, 2024 @ 7:10pm 
Thank you! I was using it anyway, and I don't think there were any issues, but still thanks!
AllMeaningless  [author] 17 Apr, 2024 @ 6:41pm 
Updated to 1.5, should be working fine now.
Your Eethral Swab 16 Apr, 2024 @ 2:59pm 
Has anyone tested this 1.5 without any other mods?
JACK 12 Apr, 2024 @ 9:45am 
update to 1.5 please? :)
BlazingImp77151 25 Nov, 2022 @ 5:02am 
shame. means that you cant mine out caves. oh well.
AllMeaningless  [author] 24 Nov, 2022 @ 11:55am 
Pretty sure that wouldn't work since you can only mine things that game defines as "mineable", so basically only raw stone types, silver, gold etc. You'd need to either spawn a stone under it with the dev tools (that already allow you to just delete a roof anyway so might as well do that) or build a raw stone block underneath with a different mod that allows that. This mod I only intended to work as an extra to mining, not a separate roof-deletion tool.
BlazingImp77151 24 Nov, 2022 @ 9:53am 
so to remove thick stone roofs (with that config on), that don't have anything under them would I need to place a wall or smthn there?
TwotoolusFLY_LSh.st 24 Oct, 2022 @ 1:43am 
ah, i understand how to use this mod.

i keep try order to mining(vanila). so keep left roof.
i found de-roof mine button. and good work =D

people think this mod work to auto. they not click button to de-roof mine button.
so some people say not work this mod XD

anyway, thank you update 1.4 :hardhat::highlvl:
AllMeaningless  [author] 10 Aug, 2022 @ 1:27pm 
Yes that is correct. As I said it will not remove roofs that are standalone, only roofs over blocks that are being mined.
GrynnReaper 10 Aug, 2022 @ 4:37am 
works for a bit then roof collapse, would i be correct in assuming that even though connected, roofs not supported by a mineable tile do not get mined?
GrynnReaper 2 Aug, 2022 @ 7:14am 
a setting you say...
AllMeaningless  [author] 2 Aug, 2022 @ 4:30am 
I tested on a fresh save and one of my older saves, seems to be working just fine. Are you sure you used the mod properly? As mentioned before in the comments, it doesn't work as just a 'remove roof' job, it works as a normal mining job would, except the roof above the block that is about to be mined gets removed first. Also if it was an overhead mountain roof, make sure you got the option to remove those toggled in the mod settings.
GrynnReaper 2 Aug, 2022 @ 1:48am 
Well this doesn't work, roof collapsed killing miner
danzloblaha13 10 Apr, 2022 @ 7:23am 
OMG would this not solve so much annoying infestations ?!!??
Player 1 29 Jan, 2022 @ 7:34pm 
Testet on a "Fresh" Mountain... works good :steamthumbsup: THX
Player 1 29 Jan, 2022 @ 12:37pm 
Oooo...OK. :steamsad:
AllMeaningless  [author] 29 Jan, 2022 @ 12:17pm 
No no no, so basically: The mod adds a MINING job that will also remove the roof, so that means that if there is nothing to mine underneath, the roof will not be removed. So if you have had some places that you have already mined before installing the mod, or ones that just had the overhead mountain roof with nothing to mine beneath it, the mod will not let you remove that roof, for that I'm afraid you'll have to use something else, a different mod or the dev tools. I made this mod specifically for mining out mountains for personal use, just decided to upload it cause people might need it.
Player 1 29 Jan, 2022 @ 12:04pm 
You mean i have to Place again walls into the Hills to deconstruct the Overhead??? In my case i still have 3-4 "Natural" blocks left that hold the overhead... Thin layers they been able to "deconstruct" as far i have seen... But at some Places i get a "Cave Ceiling" message... OK i will try building Walls below it :steamfacepalm:
AllMeaningless  [author] 29 Jan, 2022 @ 11:52am 
So you are using the De-Roof mine action on a mineable block, but the overhead mountain does not get removed yes? Because if you use it on just a roof that does not have anything underneath it, it will not work, there has to be a minable block below.
Player 1 29 Jan, 2022 @ 11:51am 
Base with ALL DLC... and i have NO special MOD for roof types (except your) I have following - Harmony, Humanoid Alien Races, More Monster Girls (+Enhanced Patch), Monstergirl Races, Faster Biosculper Pod, Advanced Moister Pump, Diet-Complicant Survival Meals, Targetin Modes, Wall Light, Nanotech Overpower... So NO other MOD that has spezial to do with Roof types etc... and by the Time i allready have Tested - There still the "Overhead Mountain" there for sure - I send a Miner there for Testing... He's dead... So the Shadow's is "real" :steamsad: Maybe i have to Start a new "Game" that your MOD is working. I dont know.
AllMeaningless  [author] 29 Jan, 2022 @ 8:13am 
Do you have any other mods that impact caves and/or roofs in any way? Could be a mod conflict. Also which version are you running, base or with DLCs?
Player 1 29 Jan, 2022 @ 8:09am 
(German Version) Dont know but i get a message "Cave Celling can't be Removed" :steamsad: They remove some parts... but i still can see the Shadow of the Overhead Mountain. I wait a few Days now to see if something Changes. But i dont think so... ADD - Yes, i switched the "Option"
AllMeaningless  [author] 28 Jan, 2022 @ 12:24am 
Like all settings, Escape->Options->Mod Settings, there you should have a list of all your mods that have configurable options. Choose De-Roof mining from the list and just tick the option on.
azira_ladysilver85 27 Jan, 2022 @ 10:00pm 
Where exactly is the ' option to remove mountains ticked in the mod settings' - in mods? Because my colonist are still getting killed and I've looked everywhere for this option to no avail.
AllMeaningless  [author] 29 Dec, 2021 @ 12:00pm 
If it doesn't work please make sure you have the option to remove mountains ticked on in the mod settings. Also the order won't remove already existing roofs that do not have a mineable block below them. For anyone having issues please at least give the context and doublecheck the settings. I cannot help anyone who just says it doesn't work with no further information.
Deepcuts 27 Dec, 2021 @ 7:30pm 
Nor working for me. Even after issuing the new mining order, cave-ins kill my pawns.
SkeletonCrew 12 Sep, 2021 @ 12:17pm 
thank you so much for making this!
SkeletonCrew 12 Sep, 2021 @ 11:43am 
ohhhh right. You did say that in the description but I forgot, sorry lol
AllMeaningless  [author] 12 Sep, 2021 @ 11:41am 
Did you turn on the remove overhead mountain option in the mod options? I think it's off by default.
SkeletonCrew 12 Sep, 2021 @ 11:39am 
I don't know if I did something wrong, or if it's a bug, but after using the de-roofing mining order on some rock and after a pawn mines it, it still says there's overhead mountain over it...

I was hoping for some input before using it on my main save.
mijxero 11 Sep, 2021 @ 4:50pm 
This is awesome, thank you.
AllMeaningless  [author] 7 Sep, 2021 @ 1:44am 
Yeah, it happens because it didn't update the main Rimworld auto-cancel feature for the sake of compatibility with other mods since I don't really get how Harmony works. You still can get rid of the leftover designation with the "Cancel" order.
