: This message happens when the corner is surrounded by 3 or 4 tree or bush tiles.: This message will also occur when trying to lower floorboards through a dig action.
*'''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. 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.
==PVP Servers==
* Maximum slope on dirt is limited to 150 on the [[Defiance]] and [[Elevation]] servers, no matter how high the skill a player may have.
== Warning Messages ==
; The <item> would flow down into a <structure/fence>. You are not allowed to drop <item> on <structures/fences>
: Occurs when trying to drop a dirt that is adjacent to a structure/fence in which the slope is more than 40.
; The <structure/fence> is in the way.
: Occurs when trying to dig in a corner where there is a <structure/fence> present.
; The object nearby prevents digging further down.
: An object, such as a [[bulk storage bin]] may prevent digging steep slopes.
; You can't level at that depth.
: Occurs when trying to level a tile in which the involved tiles are 7 or more dirts below the water table.
; The area is too crowded with (trees / bushes / trees and bushes) to dig properly.
: This message happens when the corner is surrounded by 3 or 4 tree or bush tiles. Cut down one (or more) to continue.
; You cannot dig in such terrain.
; You hit rock.
: All the dirt above the rock layer in this tile corner has been dug away.
==Under water==
Until 7 dirt below sea level, you can dig as above water, but deed deeper than 7 you must [[dredge]] instead of dig.
==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.
==Tile Difficulties==
Digging difficulty varies by tile. The formula starts at 1 + (the highest slope from that corner/5, rounded down), then adds the specific tile difficulty.
* Dirt - 0
* Peat - 0
* Sand - 10
* Moss - 10
* Clay - 20
* Tundra - 20
* Marsh - 30
* Tar - 35
* Steppe - 40
