== Usage ==
* The [[dredge]]'s main ability is to dig from below water level, since digging with a shovel can only be done down to 7 dirt below water level. Dredge quality and [[digging]] 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]] (40kg), or 36 clay (72kg), 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 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 you can see the tiles below you much easier than on other boats.
== Notes ==
* 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]].
* Dredging works similar to digging, though you must 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''. The dredged material appears inside the boat. In order to level a tile to flat, however, one must be over an already-flat tile that is next to the nearby tile that is to be flattened (right-click -> level will appear only on tiles outside of boat and very near).
*On bigger ships you may have to embark as passenger to get the option to dredge, because as the commander you might technically be too far way 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 [[clay]]. However, clay[[peat]], [[tar]], [[peatgems]] , and [[tarvalrei item|valrei items]] tiles will only lower if the corner you are digging at is close to some terraformable tile type.
