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.

i think that's supposed to work too, may be a regression at some point

Aw i see, i tried doing the normal M1 and drag method. Cool Thanks

you can switch between digging stairs south or west by pressing R while the dig cursor is active
you can't dig north or east because the resulting stairs would face the camera, which blocks visibility while on them - the game itself has no stairs facing these directions for the same reason

Oh and also, if it's possible and you haven't thought of it, being able to rotate the direction the stairs face would be huge

Awesome, looking forward to the new walls to replace the dirt and you should make it to where you can replace the dirt ramp with stairs. you can sledge hammer the dirt ramp, although i recommend having a way out afterwards...

Is there any way to make power work in dug out basements/basement expansions? despite me building one below my house it gets no power at all

@PrometheanExile i do, you dont even need the link for it as the name is "[B41] [B42] Camp in the Rain.
for some reason it protects the basement from rain, snow or being soaked so long as its nearby the immediate tent

@chicken leg You wouldn't happen to have the link to that mod would you?

ye it doesnt, the only way i've made it not be effected by snow OR rain is adding a mod that makes the areas on tents and around them the ability to not be rained on, so you dont wake up with puddles around you or wet.
it works great with this mod since it prevents basements from doing one of the most glaring issues with this mod which imo is a great fix ^^

it doesn't
