 The tunnel network consists of [[tunnel]] tiles surrounded by impassable [[solid rock]]. While the tunnels look the same, they can have different descriptions. Of particular note are the [[Terrain#Fungi_Farms|fungi farms]] where [[fungi]] can be found. There are also several [[Terrain#Water|water]] tiles that provide [[fresh water]]. In addition to the various cave entrances listed above, the main tunnel network connects to the [[Mountain#Mountain_Cave|mountain tunnel]] and the [[Dalpok tunnel]] in the west through a cave-in that has been cleared. These smaller caves are detailed in their respective articles. There are also two small caves in Rakmogak visible on the map, but they do not connect to the rest of the tunnel network and never seem to contain rats or giant spiders.

 = History =
-Before Rakmogak was introduced, the smaller tunnels near Dalpok and on the mountain used to be the only caves and tunnels that existed in Shartak. Initially, the entire cave network was crawling with rats and giant spiders, making the efforts to map it very difficult and time-consuming. Even then, some early maps were produced within the first few months of the discovery. One of the earlier full maps by an unknown author is available [[https://wiki.shartak.com/index.php/File:Shartaktunnels.png here]]. The south-eastern branch of the tunnels leading to the rocky islet southeast of Derby, now known as Arivo Rock, is believed to have appeared slightly later than the rest of the tunnels. The islet was first discovered through the tunnel network by [https://www.shartak.com/profile.cgi?id=12947 Raivo], who participated in the early exploration efforts among with many others, and also produced the most recent and detailed map of the tunnel network.

 A large tunnel network inhabited by [[rat]]s and [[giant spider]]s connects many places of Shartak. It can be entered and exited through a number of caves scattered around the archipelago. Other [[animals]] can sometimes be spotted in the tunnels, as they can wander in from the jungle and get lost.

 Many caves and tunnels can be found and explored in the underground of Shartak. They are pestered with aggressive rats and giant spiders, so be sure to bring a lot of faks if you want to go exploring.
