,,&&,,&&&& often created in good faith, a basement ,,,,,,&&,,
&,,,,,,&&& 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 ,,&&&&&&,,
&&&&&,,,,& structure, it's just that all parts &,,&&&&,,&
&&&&,,&&,, might not be physically connected. ,,,,&&,,,,
