Can I dig in such terrain, please?

[Hula_Girl 266]

I did some digging recently and this message is starting to get annoying: [17:12:19] You cannot dig in such terrain.

 

What is the purpose of suddenly not being able to dig if there is a tree in SW corner and also a tree in the NW corner, and the Jackal is aligned with Valrei, or whatever the rule for that message is?

Head out in the garden and try digging a hole next to a tree mate

Just returned from the garden. Indeed, when there is a bush SW (and also NW) from my digging I suddenly can't dig in such terrain.

I think technically in wurm, the corner IS the tile and the middle section we think of as the tile, is only a graphical illusion/representation of the corner data.  So if you try to dig in a corner being "used" by a tree, you cannot, it's a tree tile there. Corners are everything in Wurm, and tiles are only an illusion. 

 

That's why they cannot "fix" that. Its part of the game's design.

Also why it's so hard to explain to new players things revolving around it. >.< especially when you try to explain how it's not technically 3D.

Everything is all make believe pretend!  The world doesn't even exist! 

 

It's all like .. a freshman college philosophy class.

 

 

Let's pretend corners are tent poles hilding up the world and make believe cows  can walk on them

I think there's something more to it, because there need to be two "trees" around the corner, in some logic that i never follow (just cut down the SW tree).

I am sure that Jackal is always aligned with Valrei and that is the problem ! lol

you can't dig there, but you can dig using the level command there . . .
