Tutorials/How to find caves

A cave is a place where you can find many resources or it's just a little room. Sometimes you find them on the surface, others are buried underground. These are the easy ways to find them (else than finding them by just digging rock)

Surface Cave Entrance
Usually, when you go exploring the surface, you might find cave entrances. Watch out: Monsters may be at the entrance. This method is known as Cherrypicking.

Resource veins
As caves have a lot of resources, you can enter a cave by digging resource veins.

Dirt/Gravel veins
Caves have dirt/gravel veins on them depending of how big they are. A big cave has many dirt/gravel veins and a short cave might have only one of these. Even through you find no cave by digging these, you would had created a cave-like room or it maybe means that a cave is nearby.
