==Description==
'''Digging ''' is a [[skill ]] of terraforming, or moving [[dirt ]] around, it and is used either to raise or lower a [[tile, or lower one]]. The act of digging Digging requires a [[shovel]] and increases several [[characteristics]], [[body strength]], [[body stamina]], and [[mind logic]].
==Method==
Activate a [[shovel]] and right-click a tile (It it is not possible to dig on [[Rockrock]] tiles) and select '''Dig'''. This will lower the [[ground ]] and put 1x of the tile compound material in your [[inventory]]. Please note, dirt is dug from corners (points) of tiles and the corner of reference is where you were standing when the digging finished.
To lower a whole tile, you must stand in each of the four corners and dig. To raise a tile, you must drop dirt on the tile corner.
To check if a tile is flat, you can either right-click a tile and click -> ''[[flattening|flatten]] '' or by examaning examine a tiles tile's borders. If all tile borders say ''<nowiki>'"The slope is flat'</nowiki>''", the tile is flat. You can also see the difference in height between one side and the other of a tile, sides by using examine on a examining the tile's borders. The reference will be a certain number of units of material either away from you or toward you relative to where you're standing. For example, if the slope is two "dirts " toward you, go to the other end of the tile border you examined and dig twice to level the edge in question.
==Digging for rock==
To start you must dig a reasonable distance above [[water, keep ]]. Keep digging in one corner until you "hit rock" or you do not have enough skill to continue digging. Once you hit rock in one corner you then must dig in all other corners of the tile until they have all hit rock. When you hit rock in all four corners the rock tile will be uncovered.
Note: [[Cliff ]] tiles are currently bugged, and will remain dirt even if you dig to rock on all corners.
==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.
