"flatten" Command To Lower Tar And Clay Tiles

[Timmehexas 3]

As many people are having troubles fixing tar and clay tiles - ie. after a new player accidentally drops dirt on one - there should be a way to lower the tile. I believe if the ability to use the "Flatten" command on tar and clay tiles was added, this would be possible. It would work simply like this: Say, for example, a 3x3 tar pit has 8 dirt dropped on a corner in the middle tile. Now from there, by simply digging the amount of dirt dropped in the corner - 8 - from the corner opposite to the middle corner - which should be surrounded by 3 terraformable tiles - then using the "Flatten" command on the tile where which is surrounded by the terraformable tiles, the tar tile will be lowered to its original height in the middle.

Sorry if it was a bit confusing.

Thanks for reading.

Like general flat raising, except for spreading it back out. It's a nice idea, and could hopefully be a simple solution to a consistent problem.

Just raise up the rest of it? Plus, I swear Dirt can be used to lower them.

Every action in Wurm needs an opposite action so people can repair griefing. +1

Yes, please. I understand about the special tiles being permanent and all, but having a massive tar dildo which you cannot remove is just infuriating to say the least

it can also be used for griefing purposes. No clay for u!
