    I was trying to get a water source in my home, so I dug a trench from the nearby ocean. It went rather well, but I did run into a few issues involving cave entrances. Here’s what I gathered:

    When a cave entrance appears, a formation of rocks appears underground like this, with X representing rock and O representing the cave entrance.

    XXX
    XOX

    To plug a cave entrance up, you need to use soil, sand, etc. on top of both entrances, but you must block the aboveground entrance FIRST. If you try plugging the underground entrance first, it will not work. Additionally, you can’t plug up one side and then attempt to go through the other, as it will reveal the entrance on the concealed side again.

    However, I had some issues with these cave entrances re-appearing while digging my trench. After many, many attempts, it seemed to work after I deepened the water, and changed the ground type from soil to sand. Not sure which of these did the trick, so further testing would be appreciated!

    (I wanted to do a write-up on the wiki for this, but I think some more information first would be a better idea.)

    The cave entrance is just a random chance if you dig on a tile (or gather) where there’s an open space in the cave below. It does indeed create the formation in the cave as you describe.

    there are a couple things that could be better though. closing one side of th ecave should close both sides of the cave. also digging up grass seeds shouldnt ever reveal a cave without giving you dirt, as that is nonsensical.
