Description

A dirty sack with four metal blades along its rim. A rope is attached to it. The idea is that you drag it along the bottom and gather material from the ground.

The dredge's main ability is to dig from below water level. The maximum depth you can dredge is determined by your digging skill. Also, to dredge deeper than 2 dirts below water level, like with a shovel, you need to be on a boat or ship.

Dredging works similar to digging. Move ontop of the corner you want to dig at, thus lowering it, right-click the boat or ship you're on, and select Dredge. You don't have to right-click a tile in particular. Peat, clay, and tar tiles will only lower if the corner you're digging at is close to a tiletype that is terraformable.

On bigger ships you may have to embark as passenger to get the option to dredge, because as the commander you might technically be too far way from the boat to use it. It's also a good idea to moor your ship or boat before dredging.

Notes

  • When creating, the quality of the rope affects your success chance.
  • When creating, the quality of the square piece of cloth affects the initial quality of the dredge.
  • You can dig all kinds of material, perfect for dredging clay. The material dug is generally determined by the tile you're closest to its northwest corner.
  • The dredged material appears inside the dredge.
  • A dredge can hold 2 dirts or heaps of sand (40kg), or 36 clay (72kg), for example.
