==Tich's Art of FlatRaising==
===Definition===
FlatRaising is a term used to describe the way to get process of making slopes greater than 40 dirt (4 meters).  
===Why It is Used===
Dirt "flows" when a slope gets to 40 dirt (4 meters). "Flowing" means that the dirt will slide down the slope until it gets to a lesser slope (less than 40). Dirt will also flow if the diagonal slope of the tile is over 40 dirt (4 meter).
 
It is used because ===Measurement===To find out how many dirt "flows" when (how steep) a slope gets to 40 (4 meters)is, what i mean by examine the tile border. A [[digging]] skill of 15 or better will allow a "Flowmouse over" is that examination of the dirt will slide down the slope until it gets to border when a lesser slopeshovel is activated.
How to tell what a slope is.. Examine the tile border; dirt will also flow if the diagonal of the tile is over 4 meter slope.
===Restrictions===
The largest slope you can make is three times your skill.
 ===How to do itMethod===#For this example I will assume that you start 're starting with a 4x4 (totallycompletely flat) flat area and want to raise FlatRaise the middle 2x2 area up high.#First , drop 40 dirt on each exterior corner of the 2x2 area. #Once the outer slopes exterior corners are raised 40 dirt, start dropping dirt (batches of 10-20 dirt is goodtypical) in the center of the 2x2area.#Flatten one of the tiles (rotating the tile to flatten is a good idea, if not you had better flatten all the 4 tiles). ''Remember not to stand on the high point when flattening as you will get "Ouches".''#Repeat until either you get the "Spire" to your desired height or to the maximum height for your skill heightlevel.

===Notes===
Another option is to dig at the base of a slope to increase it, but this is not always possible (e.g. on [[Landbridges]] or when doing a road along rock).
===TipsVariation===* Note that once Another option is to dig at the base of a slope gets over 29 dirtto increase it, to get up/down from but this 2x2 area you will have climbis not always possible (e.g. on [[Landbridges]] or when building a road along rock).
* A good advice is to make a pile for the dirt (using any object on you, its easier with different items as this will form a "pile of items", which is easier to target) on the slope and then add the dirt (from your cart), and retrieve your items, repeat until your pile(s) have 100 dirt so you don't have to keep climbing up/down.
===Tip===
* Once the slope gets over 29 dirt, you will have climb to get up and down from the 2x2 area. To save time, use this method to prevent you from having to climb up and down the slope as you work: drop items you have in your inventory (easier with four different items) until you form a "pile of items" which is easy to target. Then add at least two dirt to the pile and remove your items. You may add up to 100 dirt to each pile (one pile per tile).
