I get why digging works the way it does, but I do wonder if something could be done to make it so you could dig into the side of a mountain. Like if you build support and trusses using core wood beams right at the base and the beams touch the stone |--/\ then it will allow you to dig forward at that height capped by your beam height until you connect another support beam into the rock face. This would effectively be like digging a mine shaft forward and then you can expand it inside.
