Notes

  • Press 'a' to activate in order to dig an adjacent tile. Requires 'bright' light, say from an oil lamp in your hand or a survivor headlamp.
  • For those who want to dig in soil, say to build a basement, be careful that you don't accidentally collapse your way out; it doesn't matter if you built wooden walls, all tiles above you which are not supported by or immediately next to an earthen wall (no, you cannot build wooden walls as supports) will turn into open air. This includes already built tiles, like floors, and most urgently, staircases. If you are planning on building a new structure from scratch and know you'll need a basement, dig the basement out first, and then build roofing below ground in order to be able to build flooring above ground.
