Modding and Mapping

There is no modding in the game (for now at least), but you can modify a lot of custom parameters, create a map, and use various Commands.

Custom Params
See detailed help here

Map Edition
v1.1 adds various tools to help players edit the world, so it can be shared.

How to do it?
Get the "Empty World.save" file from your Dig or Die local files (usually in ). Copy it into your saved game folder (something like ).

This map is an (almost) empty world, with the params (Creative Mode, Dev Mode, etc.) already activated for map edition. Of course you can also start from another saved game. Use the tools describe below in order to modify the map as you wish. Save it on another name.

After your edits are done, you can remove the items you don't want the players to have (by pressing the Delete key after selecting them), clear the minimap (command ), and remove the dev mode (command  ). Once done, you can share your saved game file, or copy it to the Multi folder in order to play it with other players (

Edition tools

 * Ultimate Dimensional Brush. Use this tool to create any mineral or background. Since v1.1, organic rock area is dynamic, so you can create it anywhere you want, and add the Organic Defenses too (try the two defense icons, one of them is useless if spawn with the Brush).


 * Ultimate Monster Gun. Use this tool in Dev Mode to spawn bosses and set their respawning area (spawning monsters, or bosses while not being in Dev Mode is useful just for fun or for testing purpose)


 * Param  (default false): this is the Creative Mode parameter.
 * Param  (default false): minvincibility, fast travel/fly/noclip with numeric keypad arrows, time change with PageUp/PageDown/Home/End keys.
 * Param  (default true): this param make the game spawn some minerals if not enough were detected in the world. It's active by default, but inactive in the Empty World because there is not enough rocks & dirt to spawn all minerals. You can active it back once you have finished creating your world.
 * Param  (default false): Spawn the monsters dymically depending of the surrounding rocks/dirt backgrounds, instead of game mode specific positions. More info below.
 * A lot of other Custom Params can be modified in order to customize your world, like the day duration, the rain quantity, the lava cycle parameters, etc.


 * Command, to clear the minimap
 * Command, to kill all bosses and delete their lair/respawn area

Dynamic Spawn Rules

 * Those rules are used for day monster spawn, when the param  is true. It's useful for heavily edited maps (but should not be used on normal worlds, it would make the game very hard or impossible to progress)
 * The rules are sorted (the first to be true is applied)
 * "bg" means the background most present in the screen area (or the closest one if no background in screen) : Dirt bg, Rock bg, Crystals bg, Granit bg, Lava bg, Organic bg
 * "Sky" area is where there is no rock/dirt background, and there is some sun light during day
 * "Cavern" area is where there is no rock/dirt background, and no sun light during day
