| − | ==Flattening Made Easy==
| |
| − | | |
| − | ===Assumptions===
| |
| − | | |
| − | # Area is free of obsticals (e.g. no trees)
| |
| − | # Shovel is active
| |
| − | # You have a cart to put dirt into
| |
| − | | |
| − | ===Actions===
| |
| − | | |
| − | # Pick a single corner as you reference (you could place a small barrel or some container on it, so you know the reference corner).<br>
| |
| − | # Right-click on a tile border that ajoins the reference point and see which end of the tile border needs to be dug,<br>
| |
| − | #* If the reference corner is the highest, then drop the required dirt at the lowest end.
| |
| − | #* If the reference corner is the lowest, then dig the required amount from the highest end.
| |
| − | # Repeat until area is flat.<br>

| − | ==Technical Data about Flattening==
| |
| − | | |
| − | The times given when you start to flatten correspond to the number of dirt 'difference' these are :
| |
| − | | |
| − | *0 = "The ground is flat now."
| |
| − | *1..3 = 9 secs
| |
| − | *4..7 = 19 secs
| |
| − | *8..11 = 29 secs
| |
| − | *12..15 = 39 secs
| |
| − | *16..19 = 49 secs
| |
| − | *etc
| |
| − | | |
| − | So the time is the "number of dirt difference" / 4, rounded down, * 10 + 9.<br>
| |
| − | | |
| − | The "number of dirt difference" is the difference between the highest and lowest points.<br>
| |
| − | | |
| − | So a 9 secs timer could be from tiles like this...
| |
| − | | |
| − | <pre>
| |
| − | 0---1 or 0---3 or 0---0
| |
| − | | | | | | |
| |
| − | 1---2 3---3 0---3
| |
| − | </pre>
| |
| − | | |
| − | If At the end of the timer, the tile is in the 1-3 dirt difference range, and the following happens :
| |
| − | | |
| − | 1 = "You assemble some dirt from a corner." (and you get one dirt added to inventory).
| |
| − | | |
| − | 2 = Depending on how many dirt you are carrying you get...
| |
| − | 0 = "You assemble some dirt from a corner." (twice) and you get 2 dirt added to inventory.
| |
| − | 1 = "You use some of the dirt in one corner."
| |
| − | and "If you carried some dirt, it would be used to fill the 1 corners that need it."
| |
| − | Note the tile is '''NOT''' flat.
| |
| − | 2 = "You use some of the dirt in one corner." (twice) and the 2 dirt in inventory are used.
| |
| − | | |
| − | 3 = Depending if you are carrying any dirt you get...
| |
| − | 0 = "If you carried some dirt, it would be used to fill the 1 corners that need it."
| |
| − | Note the tile is '''NOT''' flat.
| |
| − | 1 = "You use some of the dirt in one corner."
