extend base 5 blocks to the right (and yes, extend the doors/walls too)

dig down a 2-block wide hole 27 block deep 5 blocks left away the right side of the base.

put a platform every 4 blocks down and a torch every 6 blocks, then scout what ore can I see from the hole.

Put up a wooden sign (craft it by workbench) saying "Artificial Mine" on the hole's surface

(I always do this in the real game at night)

If this hole happens to encounter a cave/ravine, stop mining at the last block connecting the two sides.
