Seeing the humongous clay deposit (and lack of iron ore in the mine) should had told me to keep looking. Yet it seemed to call to me. And I stupidly made that pier, even knowing I couldn&#8217;t dig it back down. In ways I feel like kicking myself in the ass.<\/p>\n<p>However, there just might be a way to actually, finally REMOVE a clay tile. Turn it into something else; like rock. As <a href=\"http:\/\/wurmonline.com\/forum\/index.php?topic=41175.0\" target=\"_blank\">my thread<\/a> is progressing, there seems to be hope for just that. The thing is, it (if it&#8217;s even possible) can only be done by a priest.<br \/>\nAngry sent his Vyrona priest alt over and tried to freeze a clay tile when I was in bed yesterday, and failed. I tried to tell him before that he couldn&#8217;t do it.<br \/>\nThe thread seems to be focused on Fo. Fo is the god of all things that live in or on the ground. I used to call him a treehugger in the past (sometimes still do).<br \/>\nClaims that there&#8217;s this spell called &#8220;Dirt&#8221;, that..well, not <em>remove<\/em> the Clay tile but &#8216;dig&#8217; it down. This won&#8217;t help me with the pier, but it will in other places.<\/p>\n<p>Now angry has shifted to telling me that all I would need is a Magranon follower (not a priest), who&#8217;s also on the Path of Power. S\/he can turn the clay tile into a lava tile, and then freeze it into a Rock tile where it can be mined down or dirt can be dropped on it.<br \/>\nWell, whatever happens and if it&#8217;s truly possible, this will not be easy on my pocketbook.<\/p>\n<p>.<br \/>\nIn other news&#8230; after much thinking, I decided to scrub the idea of a secondary mine, and turn the secondary path into a useful one, by connecting it to the pier. Doing this will allow quicker access into my settlement.<br \/>\nUnfortunately, I made this decision a &#8216;little&#8217; too late. 3\/4 of the dirt\/sand I dug up from the site has decayed.<\/p>\n<p>Still, I&#8217;m a resourceful floating dragon head. I know where to replace all the dirt that decayed. To do this requires scrubbing the farm all together (made a decision to keep making Stew), and what appears to be a raised flat area behind it that the former villagers were working on&#8230; something there. I don&#8217;t really give a shit. Dirt is dirt, right? Right.<\/p>\n<p>Thinking Hero had a surplus of dirt over at his place, I asked him if he had any. Turns out he needs all the dirt he can get.<br \/>\nAngry is the same way. After the founding of a new port, west on the island, he also needs all the dirt he can get.<br \/>\nThis means I&#8217;m SOL of any extra dirt. But like I said, I got my own dirt. I just have to dig it up.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As I stated in my nearly-begging response in the Wurm forum, clay tiles have been a thorn in my side longer than the dreaded &#8220;You hit rock.&#8221; Well, rock can be dealt with&#8230; clay cannot.
