== Description ==
''A dirty sack with four metal blades along its rim. A rope is attached to it. The idea is that you drag it along the bottom and gather mud.''
The [[A '''dredge]]'s main ability '' is a tool used to gather materials from underwater tiles and to dig from below water level. The maximum the depth you that can dredge may normally be determined by your reached with a [[diggingshovel]] skill. Dredge quality == Usage == * The dredge's main use is also known to affect maximum depth. To dredge deeper than 7 dirts digging from below [[water ]] level, which is since digging with a [[shovel]]'s limit, you need can only be done down to be on a 7 dirt below water level.* Dredge [[quality]] and [[ship|boat or shipdigging]]skill affect the maximum depth you can dredge. * You cannot dredge at a depth greater than 180 dirt below sea level.* A dredge can hold 2 [[pile of dirt|piles of dirt]] or [[heap of sand|heaps of sand]] (40 kg), or 36 [[clay]] (72 kg), before it requires emptying.** When dredging, there must be space in the dredge and in the ship for the materials you would acquire.* You may not dredge [[rock tile|stone]].* Be careful when dredging while swimming, as you will quickly run out of [[stamina]] and drown.* A [[rowboat]] is the best boat to dredge from, as it is easier to see the tiles below you than on other boats. == Notes ==
== Creating ==
* The [[quality]] of the [[rope]] affects your success chance.
* The quality of the [[square piece of cloth]] affects the initial quality of the dredge.
* Failure damages both the [[rope]] and the [[square piece of cloth]].
* Improvement uses [[blacksmithing]] skill but [[carpentry]] tools: [[mallet]], [[file]], [[carving knife]], [[pelt]], and [[log]].== Using ==* Dredging works similar to digging: , though you can be embarked on a boat or ship to dredge. Move on top of the corner you want to dig at, right-click the boat or ship you are on, and select ''Dredge''. You do not have to right-click any tile in particular. The dredged material appears inside the dredgeboat.* In order to level a tile to flat, you must be over an already-flat tile that is next to the nearby tile that is to be flattened. The ''Level'' option will only appear on tiles outside of the boat and very near.* On bigger ships , you may have to embark as a passenger to get the option to dredge, because as the commander you might technically be too far way away from the boat to use it. * It is also a good idea to [[mooring anchor|moor]] your ship or boat before dredging. * You can dredge all kinds of materialmaterials, for instance including [[clay]]. However, clay, [[peat]] and , [[tar]] tiles will only lower if the corner you are digging at is close to some terraformable tile type. The material dug is generally determined by the tile you are closest to its northwest corner. == Notes ==* A dredge can hold, for example, 2 [[pile of dirt|piles of dirtgems]] or , and [[heap of sandvalrei item|heaps of sandvalrei items]] (40kg), or 36 clay (72kg), before it requires emptying.* It is much easier to see the bottom if you turn off water reflections in the game's video settings.
