Section - Digging

[ This is something people often try, so we implement it. It's also used in the Rebelworld segment. ]

Digging is an action applying to nothing. Understand "dig" as digging. Specific digging is an action applying to one topic. Understand "dig [text]" as specific digging. Check specific digging: try digging instead.

Carry out digging:

if location is regionally in Beachfront begin; say "You dig a little in the sand with your hands, down to a cooler layer of wetter beach, but find little of interest.";

otherwise if location is regionally in Tiderooms or location is regionally in Marshlands; say "It's too wet to dig here.";

otherwise if location is Rockslide; say "It's too rocky to dig here.";

otherwise if location is Hive Room or location is Edge of Ravine or location is Viewpoint or location is regionally in Rain Forest; say "You dig a little through the dirt, but it's not very fun, clean, or effective with just your bare hands.";

otherwise if location is Sloping Meadow or location is Crater Pond or location is Lawn or location is Observatory Exterior; say "The grass is too hardy to dig through with just your bare hands.";

otherwise if location is regionally in Frozen Hell or location is Chasm Edge or location is Rise; say "Through hardened lava rock? Not likely.";

otherwise if location is Ledge; say "Through rock? Not likely.";

otherwise; say "You don't really have the proper tools or energy to dig here.";

end if.
