Rock tile terraforming with a pickaxe works in the same way as [[digging]] dirt. Stand on the corner you want to ''lower'', activate a pickaxe, right-click a rock tile, and select ''Mining''. Every few actions you ''lower'' the corner by 1 dirt. All four tiles surrounding the corner must be exposed to rock.
You can raise a corner of an exposed rock tile by activating a [[concrete]], right clicking the corner that you are standing on and want raised and selecting 'raise corner'. The slopes away from that corner can not be higher than 26 to be raised.
One can dig to the Rock layer by [[digging]] up [[dirt]]. On the [[Freedom]] Isles the soil depth varies wildly and may reach as much as 300 dirts to the rock layer, though this is very rare. The average depth is however [[Talk:Rock_tile#Soil_Depth|widely contested]], and the factors such as slope, elevation and random chance strongly affect the depth at which the rock layer is found. It is advisable to dig a deep pit to discover the rock layer before attempting to create sufficient space to create a mine, as this aids planning and avoid time being wasted in unsuitable mine locations. Depending on location the rock layer may or may not be below the water level.
