Changed "20 slope" to "40" for animal driven carts.

2015-12-15T21:14:28Z

Removed the Pythagoras reference, because it does not apply to slopes.

-Two corners going into 1 corner can result in a "hidden edge" being steeper than 20 making it unable for animal driven carts to walk up. To find out if this hidden edge is steeper than 20 you need to use the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pythagorean_theorem Pythagoras Theorem] by taking the two slope numbers and filling in the formulae. You can use [http://www.basic-mathematics.com/pythagorean-theorem-calculator.html this calculator].

-To calculate the maximum slope you can build a [[fence]], [[stone wall]], or [[tall stone wall]] on, based on your [[carpentry]] or [[masonry]] [[skill]], use the following formula (submitted by ketza):

-The maximum slope you can mine on the surface is 3 x [your mining skill]. E.g. A skill of 50.25 in mining means you can surface-mine on, or adjacent to, a slope of up to 151 dirt.
