Has anyone ever dug below -50k without admin granted money? Seriously. I fell down a hole to -32k the other day and it took several minutes to get there. The bricks have over 10 million health at that depth. No one is mining these bricks.
Yes they have.
prior to v21 the limit was truly "unlimited" and there were people at -120k
how?
/buy dirt <very big number>
spam drills
-or-
console: crouch(1);mousefire(1);
... and then go eat dinner / play xbox / watch tv
Typically what happens is 1 person will dig or drill to some depth, place a teleport brick, and teleport their friends down, then leave. the friends will dig or drill further, place their own teleport brick, and invite More friends.. and the process repeats
