Digging requires a is the [[skill]] of terraforming or moving [[Shoveldirt]]around. Activate shovel ---> Right-click It is used either to raise or lower a [[tile (any but rock) and select Dig. This will lower ]] or the ground and put 1x sides of a tile, to change the tile compound in your inventory. The ground is lowered at appearance of the closest corner to where world around you are standing. Digging requires a [[shovel]] and increases several [[characteristics]]: [[body strength]], rather than where you click[[body stamina]], and [[mind logic]]. [[Destroy pavement|Destroying pavement]] and cultivating a [[packed dirt]] tile also increases the digging skill.

So if you want to lower ==Method==*Activate a tile stand in the corner of the tile activate your shovel, and right -click>a tile and select "Dig this ". This will lower the corner you are standing on. To lower [[ground]] and drop the whole tile, you must stand dug material in each of the four corners in turn and dig. This is the same for raising a collectible pile on that tile, just drop dirt instead of digor nearby.

When *'''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 think stand in) is where the tile will be dug down. Where you have 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 nearly flat you can find out if it is perfectly flat by right clicking>flattenand digging, just that area of the tile and connecting tiles will drop. You The other three corners of the tile will remain at their original level. By then get hovering the message 'The ground 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 flat here' in standing when dropping the event windowdirt.

*The maximum slope you can dig on, level, or flatten is 3 x [your digging skill] + 1. e.g. A better way skill of 50.25 in digging will mean you can dig on, or adjacent to check the flatness of an edge , a slope of the tile is up to press 'c' key151 dirt.*For skills below 10, then look at one tile and if the line is straight, then you are sure it is flatcan dig slopes up to 30.

==Digging for rock==If you want to dig for a rock tile you must be aware that you probably have *It is not possible to dig a lot of dirt. To start you must dig a reasonable distance above water, keep digging in one corner till you "hit rock" on [[cliff]] or you do not have enough skill to dig deeper. Once you hit [[rock in one corner you must then dig until you hit rock in the other corners of the tile]]s. When you hit rock in all four corners the rock tile will Rock tiles can be uncovered[[Mining#Surface_mining|mined]] down.

The times given ==Notes==* You need 10 digging and 20 body strength to destroy pavement.* You need 20 body strength to dig on roads.* Trees will obstruct digging is when there is a tree in the NE, NW, and SW tiles. Cut down that tree and you start to flatten correspond can continue digging. * Digging holds a chance to reward you with [[strange bone]]s & [[emerald]]s. Anybody, even non premium accounts have the chance of finding emeralds. Only premium accounts have the chance of finding rare bones.* Having a shovel activated will give a mouse tool indicating the number [[slope]] of dirt 'difference' these 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.

so == Warning Messages ==; The concrete would only flow away.: Occurs when trying to raise a rock tile that is greater than 40 slope. It only takes into consideration the 4 adjacent slope borders.; The frozen soil is too hard to dig effectively.: Occurs when there is tundra next to it; 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.; The road would be too steep to traverse.: You cannot dig a highway road to over 20 slope steep.; The water is too deep to cultivate here.: Occurs when trying to cultivate a tile in which the northwest corner is not 0 dirts or more above the water table.; The water is too deep or too shallow to dig using that tool: You can only dig 7 dirt below water level with a shovel before you have to switch to a [[dredge]].; The water is too deep and would only dissolve the concrete.: When using [[concrete]] to raise a tile below water the lowest height that the tile can be is 25.; The water is too deep to pack the dirt here.: Occurs when trying to pack a tile in which the northwest corner is more than 0 dirts below the time water table.; The water is too deep to pave here.: Occurs when trying to pave a tile in which the northwest corner is more than 0 dirts below the water table.; You are not allowed to drop dirt there.: Cannot drop dirt on paved road when the corner is surrounded on all sides by trees or similar tiles.; You are not skilled enough to dig in such steep slopes.: Slopes become too steep when the "number of dirt difference" slope is greater than 3x your digging skill. This includes any slopes on any tiles bordering the tile you wish to dig on. For example, with 15 digging skill, you can dig on, level, or flatten a slope up to 45 steep.; You can't flatten at that depth.: Occurs when trying to flatten a tile in which is the involved tiles are 7 or more dirts below the water table.; 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, rounded tree or bush tiles. Cut downone (or more) to continue.; You cannot dig in such terrain.: This message will occur when trying to lower floorboards through a dig action.; You hit rock.: All the dirt above the rock layer in this tile corner has been dug away.; You suddenly become very weak, * and your arm muscles fail you. You just can not dig here it seems.: You are trying to dig within a planned house.; You can't figure out how to remove the stone. You must become a bit better at digging first.: You need 10 digging to remove pavement.; You need to be stronger to destroy pavement.: Body strength of 20 and a digging skill of 10 + 9is required for destroying pavement.; You need to be stronger to dig on roads.: You need 20 body strength to dig on roads.; Your shovel fails to penetrate the earth no matter what you try. Weird.: You are trying to dig in an area protected by the GMs. Find a different spot.

so Activate a 9 secs timer could be from tiles like this..shovel, right-click the corpse and select '''Bury'''.

If At the end of the timer==Under water==Until 7 dirt below sea level, the tile is in the 1-3 dirt difference rangeyou can dig as above water, and the following happens :but deeper than 7 you must [[dredge]] instead of dig.

1 = "You assemble some =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 from layer. Dig at a cornerreasonable distance above [[water]]." (and you get Keep digging in one dirt added to inventory).2 = corner until "You assemble some dirt from a corner.hit rock" (and you get one dirt added or do not have enough skill to inventory)continue digging.3 = If Once you are carrying at least hit rock in one dirt corner, then you get "You use some of the dirt must dig in one cornerall other corners until they have hit rock also." or if When you are not carrying any dirt hit rock in all four corners, then the rock tile will be uncovered. If you get lack the skill to dig in "such steep slopes"If , you carried some dirtcould dig the nearby tiles down further as well, it would be used to fill reduce the slope to the 1 corners that need ityou are working on."

Note ==Tile Difficulties==Digging difficulty varies by tile. The formula starts at 1 + (the highest slope from that after flatteningcorner/5, its a good idea to flatten again if you got rounded down), then adds the "assemble" message, as there may have been 2 dirt extra. Also if you did not have a dirt on you to use, you may want o dig one (from another specific tile) and reflatten so it can use itdifficulty.

Flatten tile A and C and end up with... <pre>0---0---2---2| A | B | C |0---0---2---2</pre>  Note after flattening tile A, you would get a dirt in inventory, and flattening tile C will use that dirt. Now, when you test tile B (flatten, and then stop, making note of the timer), you will see that its timer was 9 seconds, but will not know if its like ... <pre>0---0---1---1 or 0---0---2---2 or 0---0---3---3| A | B | C | | A | B | C | | A | B | C |0---0---1---1 0---0---2---2 0---0---3---3</pre>  So you will need to add dirt (in multiples of 4 (one to each corner maybe easiest)) to tile A (or remove dirt in mutiples of 4 from C (one from each corner maybe easiest)) and check again, Repeat until you get the "The ground is flat now." message.   ===Small digging guide=== For those that had trouble with any of the above guides, here is a small picture that may clarify it.<br>This is the result of dropping a small amount of dirt on the corner of a tile.http[[Category://img237.imageshack.us/img237/9803/n00bdiggingguideoe0.png  {{cleanup}}{{copyedit}}Skills]][[Category:SkillsWhile_moving]][[Category:Babel/D]]
