Allows digging through walls to create and expand basements. To dig, you need a shovel and some sacks to carry the dug out dirt in. You will need to sledgehammer any walls or pull up any flooring in the way first. Digging will tire you out very quickly.

Future features

While it is to the best of my knowledge stable, this mod is still WIP. Intended future features are:

  • Building stairs upwards out of underground areas.
  • Stability system that requires you to build sufficient supports or risk a lethal cave-in.
  • 'Minecraft' mode with underground ores.
  • Allow building new walls directly on top of dirt walls.

Known issues

  • Excavated areas are not considered indoors, so you will be rained on. This seems to be a hard limitation of the game, but I am still researching ways to bypass this. See the FAQ detailing why this is so complex.
  • Digging more than one layer down causes extreme visual bugs, so it is disabled by default.
  • Some flooring cannot be removed or dug through.
