You ==Notes==*Players can [[Prospecting|prospect]] for ore, create [[mining|cave entrances]], and terraform on rock tiles.

*Rock tile terraforming with a pickaxe works in the same way as [[digging]] dirt. Stand on the corner you want to ''lower'', activate a pickaxe, right-click a rock tile, and select ''Mining''. Every few actions you ''lower'' the corner by 1 dirt. All four tiles surrounding the corner must be exposed to rock for this to work.

You *Players can raise a corner of an exposed rock tile by activating a [[concrete]], right-clicking the corner that you are standing on and want raised, and selecting 'raise corner'. The slopes away from that corner cannot be higher than 26 to be raised.

One *Players can dig down to the rock layer by [[digging]] away all of the [[dirt]] (from each corner) which rests on top of it. On the [[Freedom]] Isles, the soil depth varies wildly and may reach as much as 300 dirts to the rock layer, though this is very rare. The average depth is, however, [[Talk:Rock_tile#Soil_Depth|widely contested]], and the factors such as slope, elevation , and random chance strongly affect the depth at which the rock layer is found. It is advisable to dig a deep pit to discover the rock layer before attempting to create sufficient space to create a mine, as this aids planning and also avoids time being wasted in unsuitable mine locations. Depending on location, the rock layer may or may not be below the water level. * Rock tiles do not amass collectable snow during the Wurm winter.
