Digging tunnels?

This would be amazing especially when combined with mining for resources. Currently no other mmo has attempted mining in such a fashion. As for underground cities, I believe it's improbable as it leans more towards a fantasy take than a sci-fi/post apoc setting that borders on realism. However what is plausible in my opinion is building a village within or on a mountain side/rock face as there is more than enough support to prevent the collapse of the structure.

hrm Wurm has mining for resources. You can't build structures underground, but you can put furniture, forges, ovens, storage containers and make caves at water level for boats, etc.

The way Wurm does it, from what I understand, is by basically splitting the world into two layers. One above the intersection of dirt and rock, the other below it. Mines are only pseudo-3d though, you can only have one standable surface on a subterranean rock tile, so if you mine under an existing tunnel weird things happen. It's still fun though. If there's no mining in xsyon, I'll miss it, but hopefully it will get implemented before too long if the game survives and is economically feasable.

I would like to be able to dig near a river and have the water flow into my hole. Then I could make a moat and do other things.

Or to play off that idea, have the ability to dig out our own ponds, fill them with either buckets barrels or siphons, and stock them with our of fish.

boom, new skill "Fishery"
