I wanted to put this idea forward. Stop me if it's impossible. Essentially, these are building segments (interiors only) that can be constructed under the walkmesh; they snap together at designated intersections. All segment floors would be flush to the X axis. Tunnel entrances and exits would use ramps (not pictured) to rejoin the interior walkmesh to the exterior.
Modular Subterranean Buildings would aim to expand Kenshi's already great gameplay by:
1. Creating new construction strategies (for instance, tunneling through an impasse to reach otherwise inaccessible resources, artifacts, or NPCs);
2. Diversifying economic opportunities (for instance, factions could run toll tunnels using toll-booth segments);
3. Broadening the tech tree (All elements could be researchable);
4. Expanding storytelling potential (dungeons, cloning facilities, and cave-palaces—all the Holy Empires have them).
A big part of Kenshi's allure is the game-world's huge spectrum of power and wealth. We all know that the most powerful megalomaniacal warlords live in sprawling underground complexes. I mean, who wouldn't?
