Caves are dangerous

  • I would like to make a suggestion for caves that also exists in real life.

    Cave climbers and explorers must always be very careful with the gases that do or do not occur in caves. They used to take fire down with them. As soon as the fire went out, they knew that the oxygen concentration was too low and they would suffocate if they stayed there. The first hard hat was also equipped with a candle. Not just for the light, but mainly as a safety measure because of the gases.

    Just a natural enemy.

  • Outside of mining there's already little reason to bother with the caves, especially the caverns with the water in the bottom of them as they're too deep underground to be useful or even attached to the other cave networks. Adding another layer of difficulty to them in the form of gases would lessen the incentive to explore them even more.

    If anything is done with the caves, the whole cave spawning system should be reworked so they are more like actual cave networks instead of the current worm holes. Also having the larger caverns linked to them, including the larger caverns with the roof partially collapsed, and sections that are flooded passages leading to more open air caverns. Just overall more natural like.

    In addition to that I'd also say a goal should be to have waterfalls naturally spawn with some caves behind them, etc.
