How many levels underground?

[LordyMatsuo]

Been watching some videos and seems the underground exploration is where all the good materials are. Is it just 1 underground level and 1 above ground or could you dig mining tunnels that go deeper and deeper that reward more the deeper you go?

I loved mining deep in minecraft then randomly coming across a random generated cave by tunnelling into it. Is Kleperth like that or just 1 underground level to explore?

I went -4 for now, with the shovel.
Haven't seen much of a change in monsters or ressources but I didn't explore far.
It requires a lot of digging, on my seed, so I deplete my food too fast to explore much.

I suggest growing a lot of mushrooms, cooking them on the campfire and then again with the stove. 3 cooked mushrooms = one "Big Feast" which instantly restores 25 hunger so it's great to stock up on them for large trecks, and easier to farm than the "All Meat" meal.
The best part is the longer you let your mushrooms grow, the bigger the yield when you harvest them, allowing you an infinite source of food as long as you replant a few for the next cycle.

Underground level 1-4: goblins and rabid animals
Underground level 5-9: insectors (you may find their workbench in those levels)
Underground level 10-14: Meco robots and parasytors (currently no new workbench, but there will be in the future).

Also, more structures, items and bosses will be added into the underground world over the next 2-3 months.

Hope this answers your question. :)

Someone commented that with an Iron/Silver shovel, you can go further in the underground. But for now, 14 is the limit? I reached 14 and can't go further (i'm using copper shovel for now).

as of version 14 onwards, copper shovel can only go as deep as level 4 underground.
Minimum need an iron shovel to dig lvl 5 underground and lower. Will hopefully (if remember to) update once tested how far can the iron shovel goes.

Copper Shovel>Surface-underground level 1-4.
Iron shovel>5-9
Silver Shovel>10-14
(That's what I found out so far.)
