No clue, but very interested. Maybe try to find Great War era military manuals? Those guys lived years in dugouts. Please post progress.

There's a certain depth you have to hit to be able to retain the warmth iirc

Read the following
The $50 and Up Underground House Book
Disco Dave's Tunnel Guide
Tunnel Warfare in the Great War 1914-1918
Under the Killing Fields
and Tunnels of Cu Chi
for the record, you get passive annualized heat storage (PAHS, google that to learn more) digging down onlg 3-4 feet even in the northeast. Depending on the size of your final construction, I'd consider a cut and cover approach. Structural slurry walls might also be quicker and easier than other forms of support/shoring if you have access to water where you're building this.

Bad idea. Mud bricks fall apart when exposed to moisture in the long term. In houses you can get around this by building a solid stone foundation and a large roof overhang, "a good hat and boots". But underground, not so much. Earthbags with a little concrete mixed in are a better choice.

How would you prevent something like this from flooding with rain water? Wouldn't it be better to go lower in the hill and have the stairs going upwards?

If you're kilning your bricks, they're not mud bricks any more, they're just bricks.

It depends on the water table and the soil permeability as well as any liners/shoring you happen to use. Certainly digging into a hill isn't a bad idea.

Dig a test hole, check it after it rains, is what I did. I thought I might have to dig some sumps and line with rock, but it's rained for a week and no standing water, so that's good. I dont know if I could have gotten deep enough to properly drain otherwise

You wont die but the problem is lice. Its probably best to dug into a steep hill and cover overhead with planks.
