Digging out a channel from shore to shore, hit a max depth limit.

Yeah - there is about a 10 block "lower" limit from where the ground was *originally* in the seed.

I had the same problem today while trying to excavate under a copper node. I hit this brown bedrock which I couldn't break with the antler pickaxe. I thought it might be because I needed a higher level one.
Could you please let me know how to tell that I've hit the bottom (odd brown floor texture?), seeing as I'm a beginner. I'll feel loads better!

Yeah, I've experienced the same, and even with a bronze pick I can't dig any lower. So much for Project Stupid™️!

Thanks for testing the bronze pickaxe, now we don't have to waste bronze on that.

Same happens the other way round when you try to increase the hight with the hoe. At a certain point it would not add more, but again it seems to me the shape follows the original landscape.

Seems the depth limit is determined by the elevation of the spot in question, so you can only ever dig down x number of blocks from the originally generated height of that coordinate. Wishing there was a way to bypass this limitation.

As do i. This is kind of a weird limitation tbh. It shouldn’t be difficult to have the maximum depth be set across the whole map, but I’ve never programmed anything in unity before so idk.
Use the Hoe to level from lowest point will take the hight spot down another level or two but best to always start at your highest spot to see if it will go down low enough
