== Improving ==
== Using ==
Dredging works similar to digging, though you must be embarked on a boat or ship to dredge. Move on top of the corner you want to dig at, right-click the boat or ship you are on, and select ''Dredge''. The dredged material appears inside the boat.
On bigger ships you may have to embark as passenger to get the option to dredge, because as the commander you might technically be too far way from the boat to use it. It is also a good idea to [[mooring anchor|moor]] your ship or boat before dredging.
You can dredge all kinds of material, for instance [[clay]]. However, clay, [[peat]] and [[tar]] tiles will only lower if the corner you are digging at is close to some terraformable tile type.
=== Flatten or level ===
A dredge can also be used to flatten or level terrain. You must not be embarked on a ship to have this option.
== Notes ==
* A dredge can hold, for example, 2 [[pile of dirt|piles of dirt]] or [[heap of sand|heaps of sand]] (40kg), or 36 clay (72kg), before it requires emptying.
** When dredging, there must be space in the dredge ''and'' in the ship for the materials you would acquire.
* You may not dredge stone.
Added dyeable status, clean up for clarity and redundancy

== Usage ==* The [[dredge]]'s main ability is to dig from below water level. Dredge quality and [[digging]] skill affect the maximum depth you can dredge. To dredge deeper than 8 dirts below water level, which is a [[shovel]]'s limit, you need to be on a [[ship|boat or ship]].* A dredge can hold 2 [[pile of dirt|piles of dirt]] or [[heap of sand|heaps of sand]] (40kg), or 36 clay (72kg), before it requires emptying.** When dredging, there must be space in the dredge and in the ship for the materials you would acquire.*A dredge can also be used to flatten or level terrain.

== Creating Notes ==
* The [[quality]] of the [[rope]] affects your success chance.
* The quality of the [[square piece of cloth]] affects the initial quality of the dredge.
* Failure damages both the [[rope]] and the [[square piece of cloth]].
