On most biomes, using the Dig icon.png Dig action on the ground will drain Phlegm and 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. Holding Dirt counts as Lift icon.png Lifting and therefore will also drain Phlegm and Yellow Bile. Dropping Dirt on any Dirt producing biomes will increase the elevation on the spot where you dropped the Dirt. Dropping the Dirt in Bodies of Water icon.png Bodies of Water will cause the Dirt to disappear. Initially, you can only hold 10x clods 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 15x Dirt and additionally the Phlegm drain while Digging is reduced.

Biome
