¨###¨¨¨¨¨¨  is nevertheless a way to bring a cave   ¨¨¨####¨¨#
#¨¨#¨¨¨¨¨¨   into your building, and cave things    ¨¨#¨¨¨#¨##
#¨##¨¨¨¨¨#  with it. i've found that it's easier to ¨##¨¨###¨¨
##¨#¨¨¨¨##   think of all caves as the same large   #¨#¨#¨¨#¨#

¨¨#¨¨#¨#¨¨  infrastructure (pipes and wells)... or  #####¨¨¨##

¨#####¨#¨¨  environment. perhaps to grow mushrooms. ####¨####¨
