FlatRaising Flatraising is a term used to describe the process of making slopes [[slope]]s greater than 40 dirt (4 meters). ===Why It is Used===Dirt "flows" when a slope gets to 40 dirt (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 dirt dirts (4 [[meter]]s).

===Definition===
===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 dirt dirts (how steep) a slope is, examine the tile border. A [[digging]] skill of 15 or better will allow a "mouse overmouseover" examination of the border when a shovel is activated.
===Restrictions===
The largest slope you can make is three times 3x your skill.
===Method===
''For this example I will assume that you're starting with a 4x4 (completely flat) area and want to FlatRaise flatraise the middle 2x2 area.''#[[Drop ]] 40 dirt dirts on each exterior corner of the 2x2 area. #Once the exterior corners are raised 40 dirtdirts, start dropping dirt (batches of 10-20 dirt is typical) in the center of the 2x2 area.#[[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 [[damage|"Ouchesouches"]].''#Repeat until you get the "Spirespire" 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 [[Landbridgeslandbridges]] or when building a [[road ]] along rock).
===Tip===
* Once the slope gets over 29 dirtdirts, you will have [[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 two dirt 2 dirts to the pile and remove your items. You may add up to 100 dirt dirts to each pile (one pile per tile).
