*Activate a shovel and right-click a tile and select "Dig". This will lower the [[ground]] and drop the dug material in a collectible pile on that tile or nearby.
*'''Note that the material is dug from the corners of tiles; Where your avatar's feet are (which of the four corners in the tile you stand in) is where the tile will be dug down(exception is if you use dig action to the corner of the tile and even if you stand on another corner it will still dig from the targeted corner). Where you right-click to select the dig command has absolutely no impact whatsoever on where you dig.''' So, for example, by standing in the northwestern corner of a tile and digging, just that area of the tile and connecting tiles will drop. The other three corners of the tile will remain at their original level. By then hovering the cursor over neighboring tile borders, one can then see the results of their work via slope count (1 slope = 1 dirt = 1 dig action). Dropping dirt on tile corners works the same way but by raising the corner in which the player is standing when dropping the dirt.
*The maximum slope you can dig on, level, or flatten is 3 x [your digging skill] + 1. e.g. A skill of 50.25 in digging will mean you can dig on, or adjacent to, a slope of up to 151 dirt.
*For skills below 10, you can dig slopes up to 30.
*It is not possible to dig on [[cliff]] or [[rock tile]]s. Rock tiles can be [[Mining#Surface_mining|mined]] down.
* Having a shovel activated will give a mouse tool indicating the [[slope]] of a tile border when you mouse over it.
* Digging can be done while moving, so long as you do not move too far (two tiles) from the tile you are currently digging.
* You can dig dirt from another [[Corner]] of the [[Tile]] than where you stand if you mouseover the [[Tile]] [[Corner]] and do dig action to that [[Corner]].
