That is not the reason at all. A player base becomes virtually untouchable if you raise the ground even just a tiny bit. You don't have to raise it a gazillion meters for that.

false. logtrolls have big upwards range on thier overhead smash. fuleing shamans have ranged fireballs. so do archers and spearthrowers and seekers can just fly up aslong as they can see the base.

raseing the ground a TINY bit wont stop these enemies.

but if you could raise it so high no enemy would ever see it anymore nothing will ever attack it anymore either. plus if you had no dig limit you could make a hole where climbing out without a pickaxe becomes impossible if you make it lets say on a big hill or mountain site.

long story short there is too many problems this would create for the game. devs have said themselfs that they arent too keen on changing that limit in anyway. they said theyll consider adjusting it A BIT. but not by "you can now dig out a mountain till water level" sheaningans.
