You'd also need forced-air ventilation, lighting, and have more complicated water & sewage systems. You also can't just expand downwards indefinitely, as the remaining rock at tunnel level N has to be strong enough to support the N-1 levels above it. | |

If you HAVE to live underground, you don't need any technology, you just need a pick and a shovel and a will to survive. | |
