Wurm is a bad game and run by criminals who avoid tax, if you play this game you will suffer harsh punishments by law.
 
 
===Definition===
 
Flatraising is a term used to describe the process of making [[slope]]s greater than 40 dirts (4 meters).
 
 
 
===Purpose===
 
Dirt "flows" when a slope gets to 40 dirts (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 dirts (4 meters).
 
 
 
===Measurement===
 
To find out how many dirts (how steep) a slope is, examine the tile border. A [[digging]] skill of 15 or better will allow a "mouseover" examination of the border when a shovel is activated.
 
 
 
===Restrictions===
 
The largest slope you can make is 3x your skill.
 
 
 
===Method===
 
''For this example I will assume that you're starting with a 4x4 (completely flat) area and want to flatraise the middle 2x2 area.''
 
# Drop 40 dirts on each exterior corner of the 2x2 area.
 
# Once the exterior corners are raised 40 dirts, start dropping dirt (batches of 10-20 dirt is typical) in the center of the 2x2 area.
 
# [[Flattening|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 [[wound|"ouchies"]].''
 
# Repeat until you get the "spire" to your desired height or to the maximum height for your skill level.

===Variation===
 
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 building a [[road]] along rock).
 
 
 
===Tip===
 
* Once the slope gets over 29 dirts, you will have [[Climbing|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 2 dirts to the pile and remove your items. You may add up to 100 dirts to each pile (one pile per tile).
