* [[Visual digging with Axeblade]] a in game image guide to flattening 2 tiles
* [[Digging - Simplified]] an attempt to explain how to flatten a tile, and how it affects the surrounding area
==Description==
'''Digging''' is the [[skill]] of [[wikipedia:terraforming|terraforming]] or moving [[dirt]] around, and is used either to raise or lower a [[tile]]. Digging requires a [[shovel]] and increases several [[characteristics]]: [[body strength]], [[body stamina]], and [[mind logic]]. [[Destroy pavement|Destroying pavement]] and cultivating a [[packed dirt]] tile also increases the digging skill.
==Method==
* Digging holds a chance to reward you with Rare Bones & Emeralds. Anybody, even non premium accounts have the chance of finding Emeralds. Only premium accounts however have the chance of finding Rare Bones.
* Having a shovel activate 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.
* On occasion, [[gem|gems]] may be found while digging.

==Digging for Rock Guide==
To set up a mine where there is no exposed rock, you must first reveal the rock layer under the dirt layer. Dig at a reasonable distance above [[water]]. Keep digging in one corner until "You hit rock" or do not have enough skill to continue digging. Once you hit rock in one corner, then you must dig in all other corners until they have hit rock also. When you hit rock in all four corners, then the rock tile will be uncovered. If you lack the skill to dig in "such steep slopes", you could dig the nearby tiles down further as well, to reduce the slope to the corners you are working on.
