Dark Stone Mines

Things to consider before buying (& maybe the creator to consider for updates/upgrades for this set) the 1 right angle turn/90 degree turn has tracks so you'd have to buy or already own the "Caves and Tunnels " set to really complete your mines unless all of the turns have tracks (or you used a T section.) The 3 different T sections allow fun routing of the tracks in different directions. When you link the lantern for the cart, to the cart, it's still 1 land impact. If you want the tracks to look older you can select face in edit mode, and color tint them. The one cave chamber has a set of tracks going straight thru the middle, the other has tracks ending at the entry of the cave chamber-- I would have loved to have a cave chamber with an X track to send tracks through all four tunnel opening options. I rezzed one of each cave and tunnel mine piece, including the end-cap piece, all 3 entry pieces and admittedly 3 sloped pieces total for a demo I could test for the purpose of this review.. and with all 16 pieces, none of the extra stuff like vines etc, it was 75 land impact, and when linked, 73 li and sprawled could take up a 64 x 64 parcel. Yes, you could totally build a smaller mini mine with these pieces. The timber structures definitely help with the feel of a structured mine. Not sure you could script the cart to tour your mine but might be fun to try! Out of the box, my 1.78 meter (5.82 feet) avatar natural view sees thru the roof of the slope when walking up it. If resizing that piece for walking without seeing thru the roof, you must resize all other pieces for their modular ends to fit together & this is likely to increase land impact. I also admit, I'd love for this and the "Cave and Tunnels" set to have a floor that has some sediment collected on it.. dirt in cracks and such, like a used or old cave would. If you want a fairly easy mine to whip together for your stone/rocky build, this is the one for you.
