Dig

About
This is a default skill that enables you to Dig in certain types of Terrains. Shovels help with digging by making the process go faster. You can still dig without a shovel, but it will be slow and consume more phlegm.
Shovels and slotted Artifacts will give you a bonus to your digging ability:
- Wooden Shovel: +40 Digging
- Metal Shovel: +90 Digging
- Enforced Seam: +10 Digging
- Feathered Brooch: +5 Digging
Dividing your total Dig bonus by 5 gives you the % progress you make with each dig. Every character has an innate +10 digging bonus.
- With no bonuses, your digging rate will be 2% per time-unit. 50 digs for 1 dirt.
- With a Wooden Shovel you will dig at 10% (2 innate, 8 from the shovel). 10 digs for 1 dirt.
- With a Metal Shovel you will dig at 20% (2 innate, 18 from the shovel). 5 digs for 1 dirt.
- With a Metal Shovel and +70 digging bonus from artifacts (6 Seams and 2 Brooches, for example), you can achieve the maximum useful digging-rate of 34%. 1 dirt in just 3 swings of the shovel!
Normally your character can only hold 7 units of dirt. When you reach capacity, you will not be able to dig any further.

Land Flattening
Use dig in adventure, and ctrl+click the ground to flatten it. You will then carry dirt which you can ctrl+right click to drop evenly.
You can hold up to 10, or 15 with Labouring, pieces of dirt at once.
The land is composed of invisible squares, called Tiles, the red dots show where the soil actually is.
So each pile of dirt belongs to 4 adjacent squares
That means, when you flatten land (holding down ctrl while digging/dropping soil), you don't just flatten one tile, you also alter 3 other tiles.
If you have the Ender Client, you can check the elevation level
- press ctrl+l
- select an area with your mouse
- press release
done. It is fixed and you can see the elevation levels
