Description
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.

@albion I'm sure you'll manage before B42 is going to get finished, lol. But jokes aside, thank you for this mod and the work you've already put into it, don't overwork yourself.

I'm looking for a mod that's crashing me out but that's awesome news to stumble upon albion
(this mod is not the one crashing me out btw)

@albion You've already done an amazing job, I'm grateful for this mod and for your work, take all the time you need it's fantastic, anyway with the debug menu I managed to put both walls and floors.

because of new API added in 42.12, making underground areas indoors is now actually possible, but quite complex: i have completed significant work towards this feature but please be patient while i refine it, hopefully it can be released before too long

@albion This mod has a lot of potential. If you could add things like a hotkey for using the shovel (to avoid having to repeatedly use the context menu), being able to place walls and floors where you've dug, and being able to delete where you've dug, it would be perfect. Great mod, great work.

Really exciting mod. Love the idea of creating and expanding a basement base.
