PC Are underground bases still pointless now that we have A18?

Currently they lose a maximum of 1/3 their hit points per fall. So, three falls could kill some at least.

Can this be changed via xml?

As others have pointed out, digging all the way down to the very foundation is a good way of doing it. Just have to work fast and get down deep enough to where they don't hear you. I usually spend a few minutes making sure around me is clear, and then dig a small hole. Go 4-5 blocks deep, and then put a few frames up around just in case. Then, get back in and dig down as far as you can & as fast as you can. You shouldn't have too much difficulty burrowing down enough to where they can't hear you (esp if you're sneaking).

I think you'll find an underground bunker rewarding once it's done, just have to get it up and running first. GL, HF!

Its actually less in a18, Can you even get 30m below though?

Yes, you can. My current base is at 60m, bedrock is at 3m.
