Do you have a picture of such a ridge? I wonder how it looks.
I've removed so many cliffs, not only me, but even my cats lost count.
I have yet to encounter a cliff / ridge that cannot be removed.
Did Claeyt shut up yet?

Don't have picture atm, but it was something like this:


+ + + + + + +
+ + + + + + +
+ + + + + + +
+ + + + + + +
+ + + + + + +
+ + + + + + +
+ + + + + + +
+ + + + + + +


+ is a vertex / corner. Not a tile
With blue being like 25 height units below green and red being like 25 height units above green. You can't raise blue ones because you can't lower green vertices around it sufficiently to make the ridge disappear, and that's because red vertices are too high.
On the other hand you have no way of lowering the red vertices, because it's too narrow to stand and dig on it, and you can't make a ramp because of blue vertices.

Heh, I guess that would be hard, if not impossible indeed.
But are you sure you can't dig down on the outside of blue enough to fill it in, either shift-digging on vertices or ctrl-digging on the tile?

To fill it in you would have to remove the ridge to the left or right of blue. To do that you would have to dig down 2 green vertices to the left or right by at least 14. But when you dig them down by 11 you won't be able to continue because of the vertices above and below blue ones. And you can't dig those down at all.

I can see the tears already, about indestructable braziers on single tile cliffs

It would be great to get some sort of clarification as to when updates will resume, or at least specifically when the update with the ground leveling tool will likely make it live.
