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.

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

@BROKONTOL, Just don't forget to bring the materials for the new staircase, otherwise you'll live underground like a dwarf.

@BROKONTOL, Break the earthen ladder with a sledgehammer. Then build a new one from the construction menu.

I love this mod so far, it gives so much more opportunity. This should be a base game feature. Maybe it will come in 15 years when build 42 officially comes out.
I have one question though, and i'm not sure if it's a problem in base game or this mod because I've never built walls in a vanilla basement on account of them being too small for my booze bunker.
But how do I build walls that I cannot jump? I can easily jump over any of the walls, and it kinda ruins the idea I attempted where I could build a small kill zone in the event that an NPC bandit tried killing me.
