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.
  • Digging more than one layer down causes extreme visual bugs, so it is disabled by default.
  • Some flooring cannot be removed or dug through.

How do you even "build new walls on top of dirt walls"? It's redded out for me whenever I try building any

@shadow wizard
if you pick up tailoring and get some fabric and some threads you can make your own from shredded clothes.
is there a way a version of this mod could be made so you can dig without the empty sacks? It's awful trying to find them.

A build 41 version would be virtually impossible, basements as a feature were only added in build 42.

@kin_cyan No problem, move the basement mechanics from version 42 to version 41
