Description
Digging requires a Shovel. Activate shovel ---> Right-click a tile (any but rock) and select Dig. This will lower the ground and put 1x of the tile compound in your inventory. The ground is lowered at the closest corner to where you are standing, rather than where you click. Please note, dirt is dug from corners of tiles and the corner of reference is where you were standing when the digging finished.
So if you want to lower a tile stand in the corner of the tile activate your shovel, right click>Dig this will lower the corner you are standing on. To lower the whole tile, you must stand in each of the four corners in turn and dig. This is the same for raising a tile, just drop dirt instead of dig.
When you think you have a tile nearly flat you can find out if it is perfectly flat by right clicking>flatten. You will then get the message 'The ground is flat here' in the event window.
NEW: You can see the difference in height between one side and the other of a tile, by using examine on a tile's borders. The reference will be a certain number of units of material either away from you or toward you relative to where you're standing. If for example the slope is two dirts toward you, go to the other end of the tile border you clicked and dig twice to level the edge in question.

Digging for rock
If you want to dig for a rock tile you must be aware that you probably have to dig a lot of dirt. To start you must dig a reasonable distance above water, keep digging in one corner till you "hit rock" or you do not have enough skill to dig deeper. Once you hit rock in one corner you must then dig until you hit rock in the other corners of the tile. When you hit rock in all four corners the rock tile will be uncovered.
