FlatRaising Flatraising is a term used to describe the process of making slopes [[slope]]s greater than 40 dirt dirts (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 (4 meter).

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. 

The largest slope you can make is three times 3x your skill. 

''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.''#First, drop 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.#[[Flattening|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 [[wound|"Ouchesouchies"]].''#Repeat until you get the "Spirespire" to your desired height or to the maximum height for your skill level.

Another option is to dig at the base of a slope to increase it, but this is not always possible (e.g. on [[Landbridges]] landbridges or when building a [[road ]] along rock). 

* Once the slope gets over 29 dirtdirts, you will have [[Climbing|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).
