* Mining straight mines at zero slope. Mining upward or downward mines at a slope of 20 in that direction. From this, a set of variants is applied based on skill which ultimately determines the final slope of the tile. This skill-based variance set is such that: <50 skill is +/- 3, 50-70 is +/- 2, 70-90 is +/- 1, 90+ is 0. Only the final action that breaks the wall (upward, downward, or straight) determines the direction mined.
* You may not mine upward out of rock and into the [[dirt]] that is covering it.
* You can mine downward until you reach 25 dirts below the [[water]] table, but can not mine deeper than one tile level below water level.
* It is not possible to have one tunnel pass under or over another without forming a vertical shaft. Each tile is essentially a pillar, so if two tunnels cross at different elevations they create a shaft going from the upper tunnel to the lower tunnel.
=== Surface mining ===
Surface mining is the action of shaping external rock or cliff faces to prepare an area for tunneling, adjusting terrain for other uses or simply for aesthetic reasons. To mine on the surface, all adjacent corners of the tile must be clear of dirt. When mining into water the maximum depth permitted is -24 25 from the water level. To mine the surface rock, first '''activate''' a [[pickaxe]]. While standing on the corner you wish to modify, '''right-click''' on the rock of cliff tile, select '''Mining''' > '''Mine'''. It may take one or more actions to lower a single dirt level of rock. Border [[slope]] depth may be seen with a pickaxe activated just as with a [[shovel]].
