Creation of "Digging - Simplified" ~~~~
== Letter to the new digger ==
Digging can be a complicated task to wrap your mind around. Reading the Wurm Wikipedia and tutorials only confused me. This guide is an attempt to assist new players understand what those numbers mean when they inspect the border of tiles.

== Digging Explained ==
=== Definitions ===
"Away from you" means that you are looking '''downhill'''.
"Towards you" means that you are looking '''uphill'''.
"Dirts" means piles of dirt, the size of 1 dig.
=== Single Tile Digging ===
http://img196.imageshack.us/img196/8773/diggingbase.gif This is 1 tile, divided into 4 sections. You will only see 1 tile, so you need to visualize that it has 4 squares inside of it. You are the "X" standing in the corner of section 4.
http://img510.imageshack.us/img510/9041/diggingex1.th.gif When you inspect the 4 borders, you will see, "Level", "Away" or "Towards" along with the number of "dirts".
'''Each border is telling you about the 2 squares that are touching it.'''
http://img802.imageshack.us/img802/7526/20194258.th.gif Square 4/3 is a right to left measurement. (4 is level to 3)
http://img508.imageshack.us/img508/8330/87583775.th.gif Square 3/1 is a bottom to top measurement since you are in the lower half of the tile. (3 is 2 dirts higher then 1)
http://img543.imageshack.us/img543/1576/57134274.th.gif Square 4/2 is a bottom to top measurement since you are in the lower half of the tile. (4 is 3 dirts higher then 2)
http://img16.imageshack.us/img16/2564/46057928.th.gif Square 2/1 is a right to left measurement since you are in the right half of the tile. (2 is 1 dirts lower then 1)
This is what the tile "looks" like.

Therefore you need to dump 2 dirts in square 1, and 3 dirts in square 2, for the tile to be level with square 4.
