[[Guides|/Flattening]]<br>[[Guides|/Landbridges]]<br> ==Flattening Made Easy== ===Assumptions=== # Area is free of obsticals (e.g. no trees)# Shovel is active# You have a cart to put dirt into ===Actions=== # Pick a single corner as you reference (you could place a small barrel or some container on it, so you know the reference corner).<br># Right-click on a tile border that ajoins the reference point and see which end of the tile border needs to be dug,<br>#* If the reference corner is the highest, then drop the required dirt at the lowest end.#* If the reference corner is the lowest, then dig the required amount from the highest end.# Repeat until area is flat.<br> ==Technical Data about Flattening== The times given when you start to flatten correspond to the number of dirt 'difference' these are : *0 = "The ground is flat now."*1..3 = 9 secs*4..7 = 19 secs*8..11 = 29 secs*12..15 = 39 secs*16..19 = 49 secs*etc So the time is the "number of dirt difference" / 4, rounded down, * 10 + 9.<br> The "number of dirt difference" is the difference between the highest and lowest points.<br> So a 9 secs timer could be from tiles like this... <pre>0---1 or 0---3 or 0---0 | | | | | |1---2 3---3 0---3</pre> If At the end of the timer, the tile is in the 1-3 dirt difference range, and the following happens : 1 = "You assemble some dirt from a corner." (and you get one dirt added to inventory). 2 = Depending on how many dirt you are carrying you get... 0 = "You assemble some dirt from a corner." (twice) and you get 2 dirt added to inventory. 1 = "You use some of the dirt in one corner." and "If you carried some dirt, it would be used to fill the 1 corners that need it." Note the tile is '''NOT''' flat. 2 = "You use some of the dirt in one corner." (twice) and the 2 dirt in inventory are used. 3 = Depending if you are carrying any dirt you get... 0 = "If you carried some dirt, it would be used to fill the 1 corners that need it." Note the tile is '''NOT''' flat. 1 = "You use some of the dirt in one corner."
