alt Hacker NewsIf you really wanted to go for realism, there would be NO GRAVITY at the core. :P
As you dig down you would get lighter and lighter on your feet.
Any mass you are below (within the sphere of Earth) will exert a gravitational pull in one direction, while the mass above you (also within the Earth) will exert an equal and opposite pull.

Just a thought; I do wonder in reality if there is an actual single physical point that has any form of material but totally zero gravity. I think anything, as longs its size is above the planck length, has some gravity.
Yeah, I'm mostly aware of that. Weird didn't mean 'wrong' in this case, just weird for a terrestrial-bound human. :)
If you REALLY want to aim for realism, gravity should depend on all quads on the planet. So, if you were to build a huge floating island, the gravity between it and the planet would be less than the usual
That's how it's implemented in the game!
If earth was just full of water.... as you swam deeper and deeper there would be more and more pressure upon you. Would there be a point where that pressure would start to lessen as the water is pulled in all directions?
