Base set as deep as it will go.

Blueprint for the base also attached.

 

That's as far down as it will go, not had this problem with the same base before the current release.

 

I just downloaded their save and tested it for myself. There seems to be some sort of barrier preventing any bases from being lowered more than a few blocks into the ground.

There is at least 15 blocks of empty space below the base before you reach bedrock and the game won't let you lower it. This is on the whole planet.

I also tried a new save in the most recent Exp version and this problem persists with all games and all bases. The game won't let you lower more than a few blocks deep.
Seems just like this other thread that was started as well.

Something changed and I don't know if this is a bug or intentional.

 

To clarify, I just tried about half my designs that require being lowered into the ground, in 2 brand new games. Version is Exp build 2483.

In every case that required being lowered more that a block or two into the ground, I was prevented from doing so.
There is tons of empty space before reaching bedrock but I am only able to utilize a very small amount of that space to lower a blueprint.

If I go into GM and try to apply blocks to the bottom of the structure I am told by the game that there is no open space to place blocks.
It seems that this "no build boundary" is what is preventing bases from being lowered into the ground. Again, there is at least 15 blocks or so from where this "boundary" starts until you reach bedrock.

 

And as an FYI, that is not a universal issue. I have a thread asking about if the bedrock will be lowered to what it was before Alpha 10 at some time in the future and have a base that is fully in place underground.
