Lime Pit
About
Lime Pits, also known as Lime Quarries, are scattered throughout the New World and range and size and shape. Generally, Lime Pits cannot be built on or Paved over. Creatures are not typically found on Lime Pits, although a Creature may wonder onto one from time to time.
With the Quarrying Skill learned, and Any Shovel equipped, you can Dig Lime Boulders from a Lime Pit. Lime Boulders come in variable sizes, with the bigger Lime Boulders giving more Lime when Chipped, ranging from 5 up to 100. The size of your Lime Boulder is based on chance, your Mines & Mountains Proficiency, and whether or not you have learned the Ambitious Excavation Skill. Rarely you will Dig up a very small Lime Boulder. Chipping this Lime Boulder will give you a single Little Limestone. When used in place of Lime in a Ore Smelter, a Little Limestone will increase the number of Bar of Any Metal that are produced. Each Lime Boulder Dug from a Lime Pit will lower the terrain slightly. If the terrain is too step you will be unable to Dig further, making it possible to exhaust a Lime Pit of Lime.
