Digging

(Adventure -> Dig)

The Dig command lowers the level of most terrain except beaches, mountains, snow and caves and generates a resource depending on the terrain.

Digging by hand will remove 1 dirt per action, a q10 wooden shovel will remove two and a q10 metal shovel will remove 4. Both are also significantly faster and drain less stamina.

Plowing

(Adventure -> Landscaping -> Plow Field)

Requires Farming skill to perform.

This command turns normal ground into Plowed Ground. Does not work on swamps, mountains, mudflats, snow and beaches.

Notes: 

  1. Plowing by hand (i.e. without a Wooden Plow or Metal Plow) requires excessive amounts of Stamina, 25% per tile. A character will be too tired to plow when Stamina is 29% or less.
  2. Plowing doesn't affect plants or objects on the plowed tile.
  3. Considered a long-term bug, plowed land will spread to adjacent tiles. It is recommended to surround fields with paved stone to prevent this.

Stomp to Dirt

(Adventure -> Landscaping -> Stomp to Dirt)

Requires Farming skill to perform.

This command converts a tile into dirt Grassland

Lay stone

(Adventure -> Landscaping -> Lay Stone)

Requires Stone Working skill to perform.

This command converts Plowed Ground into Cobblestone. Any tile with a maximum speed of sprint can also be paved directly.

Requires 1 Stone.

Notes: 

  1. Paved ground can be run on without draining stamina.
  2. It prevents the spawning of animals and forageables
  3. Crops will still grow on pavement, though they cannot be replanted.
  4. Building interiors and cellars can also be paved, though the effect is purely cosmetic.

Lay Brick

(Adventure -> Landscaping -> Lay Brick)

Requires Masonry skill to perform.

Much like Lay Stone, this command converts Plowed Ground into a brick floor. Any tile with a maximum speed of sprint can also be paved directly.

Requires 1 Brick.

Each type of clay gives a different colour of brick when fired in an oven, and this is reflected in the colour of the brick floor. Appear magical with a yellow brick road, or give off an imperial air with black bricks!

Lay Gold

(Adventure -> Landscaping -> Lay Gold)

Requires Metal Working skill to perform.

(This command ...)

Requires 1 (?).

Plant Grass

(Adventure -> Landscaping -> Plant Grass)

Requires Farming skill to perform.

This command converts a tile into Grassland, this also works on Cobblestone. Each tile has a very small chance of spawning Grassland wildlife or herbs to forage.

Requires 5 seeds of any type (Hops Cones, Carrots, Beetroots, and Onions do not work.)

Terraforming

General built in, automated terraforming features.

  • Forest ground is actively upheld by trees. Forest ground outside the range of any tree will degrade to Grassland over time.
  • Dirt tiles will decay over time to forest or grassland tiles adjacent to it
  • Planted trees have a small chance to spawn wald tiles as they grow.

Survey Land

Clicking and dragging will select a area of a maximum of 30x30 to be leveled. Right clicking the flag will open a menu to adjust the desired height to level to. Piles of dirt, stone, and ore will be used to raise the level of the ground after all necessary digging is done.

Removing Cliffs

It is possible to remove cliffs by placing a survey like so: Cliffbusting.jpg
