About

Dirt is both Biome and received when Dig icon.png Digging most Biomes.

Object

On most Biomes, with Any Shovel icon.png Any Shovel equipped, Digging will lower the elevation on the spot where you are Digging. When Digging on Biomes that gives Dirt icon.png Dirt, you will pick up the Dirt and hold it above your head until you select where to drop it. Dropping in on any Dirt producing Biomes will increase the elevation on the spot where you dropped the Dirt. Dropping the Dirt in a Body of Water will cause the Dirt to disappear. Initially, you can only hold 10 units of Dirt. When you reach capacity, you will not be able to continue Digging. Once you have learned the Labouring skill, your capacity increases to 15 Dirt.

How to Make Clay

  1. Fill a Vessel with Potable Water icon.png Potable Water.
  2. Select a Lime and right-click it on your Vessel of Potable Water to make Milk of Lime icon.png Milk of Lime.
  3. Select your Milk of Lime and right-click it on your Clay Trough icon.png Clay Trough. A Clay Trough can hold 10x Bucket icon.png Buckets (100 Liters) of Milk of Lime.
  4. With Any Shovel icon.png Any Shovel equipped, Dig icon.png Dig the ground to get Dirt icon.png Dirt, which you will hold over your head. You can carry up to 15x clumps of Dirt.
  5. With the Dirt over your head right-click the Clay Trough to dump in the Dirt. This will produce 1x Clay icon.png Clay for each clump of Dirt you drop in. Each clump of Dirt will consume .5 Liters of Milk of Lime, so a full Clay Trough can produce 200x Clay before needing to be re-filled.

Biome

Digging on any Dirt producing Biome, or dropping Dirt on it, will convert that tile to the Dirt Biome.

Dirt is a place holder Biome, with enough activity a Dirt Biome will become the same as adjacent Biomes.
