@Paolini Yeah and for example i have added more types of plants i.e ingredients, and my pawns will require food variety to stay happy. And some mod i added nerfed and complicated the production of devil cloth etc. So this is to balance it up a bit. And having 50% of my base covered in farms is not what i like in my base. And i don't want to focus so much on farming, i know it and i want to focus on other parts of the game for example exploring.

@Zonbai Farming is already overpowered in vanilla this mod just allows you to keep your farms 20% smaller for the same yield. But if you want to experience it yourself go ahead and plant as much rice as you can and see what happens once your storage is full.

i got a question, does this mod let me make underground gardens? (trying to make a custom insect xeno-type hive)

Used it for awhile...
You can make a 200% soil field anywhere you want in under a minute...
How is that not overpowered?
Might as well be a cheat code.

I cant build normal soil over stone, when i try to select soil in the floor section it immediately changes to tilled soil

Not sure why, all my tilled soil is low resolution now?

any plans to make this work inside of a gravship?
like this one does: https://psteamcommunity.yuanyoumao.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3554379016

@Krupam interesting it might work the same way with bridges because i wasnt able to place it on them

The journey of handling confusing terrain affordances just continues unabated.

I'm not sure if it's supposed to work this way, but you can now build a steel platform over empty space outside the edge of an asteroid, then build soil under the bridge and then remove the bridge, leaving you with normal solid ground.

Can we put this on heavy bridges?

For anyone else, I just wanted to mention, with odyssey it's now possible to achieve this effect with vanilla, usually each asteroid has 1-2 archaen tree seeds, each tree creates a 13 tile radius of rich soil.
So if you're willing to put in a little effort and consider it a reward for your efforts you can achieve the same effect (mountian base farming areas in my case) by much more satisfying ways.

This mod served me well, but I think I'll be taking that approach going forward.

Why not add the amount of fertility as a slider?

Kind of wish this mod just had a mod option to change the scale of fertillity for the tilled soil. At some point the 200% is entirely reasonable if you have hundreds of colonists but its "op" in multiple way. Like the wealth explosion which may kill you by using this. Changing the definition is a solution for one time but its a problem when sharing for multiplayer or when the colony changes later (from 5 tribal pawns to 20)

@steel
Use the Terraform Rimworld mod to place dirt down in a cave.
Put a sun lamp down, walls around, a roof over it, climate control the room.
HEY PRESTO! Indoor farm.

Steel thinks filling a room with dirt wouldn't work.

yes, but it would be cool to have a farm patch on your ship still.

hey, hate to break it to ya but you can't till steel or wood

I'm sill having probles building soil on gravship tiles. Tried un/resubbing and un/reinstalling the mod but when i place soil to be build, the pawn will work it but nothing will be there. Sorry if this problem was already solved and i'm just repeating babble.

I noticed that the tilled/soil tiles also do not work on the heavy bridges, it lets you place the blueprint but then builds nothing

While making sure the archotech tree doesnt destroy the tiles

Could you make it so that the soil tile work on spaceships?

ah thanks! works wonders now damn steam and its unsub resub bug

@chili dog dave Finally finished a mission with my gravship, can confirm the last update fixed both issues. But for some reason required me to unsub and resub

@chili dog dave I had the same issue, couldnt build grav substructure or land on it, unsubbed and resubbed and reloaded into the save and now its letting me build on them. Have to test if I can land again but the update fixed one of the issues so far.

just figured i should add i am at this very moment after the fix still unable to land ship on a tile that has soil placed, had placed a test soil on the ship saw it didnt do anything so i ignored it, after flying away and coming back there is now a soil tile that stops me placing my grav ship

Awesome thanks, just had to unsubscribe and resubscribe for the update to actually download

Should be fixed now

I'm having the same issue as @Yutoe. I'm unable to build my gravship on soil

Cant land odyssey ship on tilled soil or soil, and cant build gravlite substructure on it either, as the game states that it "requires terrain that supports Walkable" would be nice for a fix

@VforSurvival check the "popular discussions" section, there is a guide on how to adjust it

Love the mod, used it for ages now. The only thing that'd make this better for me personally is having the ability to adjust the % fertile and/or have it locked behind research and/or require a certain skill to make it. If any of that is possible with some user tweaks, and the author is happy for it to be done, then im all ears.

No lag for me.

When constructing tiled soil my game starts lagging pretty bad. Is anybody else experiencing this?

I like your mod very much! Thank you for making this :)

Can't build on gravship substructures.

Thank you for the update! This was my first ever installed mod, and I play with it every time.

After further testing it seems that the cause is not apparent. I loaded my game and the tiled soil started working right, i did a test as said I would and the corn was growing at the expected x2 speed of regular soil. However a bug did happened earlier because it wasn't growing at the same speed, even more weirdly the cotton was growing at the same speed as the corn but after loading it all seemed to get the actual speed from the tiled soil.

Hopefully this is not something that will keep repeating as it may seem hard to reproduce if it fixes itself by loading a save.

I am not sure this mod is currently working. In my current playthrough I have a field of corn that I planted about 5 days ago, with 200% fertility this should be somewhere in the 80 to 90% growth but it is at less than 50% which leads me to believe it's not applying the fertility despite it saying it has 200% fertility.

I will have to further test this tomorrow by making 2 farm plots, 1 with tiled soil and one on just regular 100% fertility soil.

@Emilis
Try the "Vanilla Plants Expanded" Mod if you are looking for something less powerful.

I see your cheeky FAQ, but personally I do really wish there was at least an option to make the soil require something (build time, cost, research, etc). Unless there is and I just missed it. Otherwise it really is way more overpowered than I prefer. Oh well. Until something like Terrapumps updates, you'll be my guy. Thanks for updating so soon.

You cant put soil on gravship substructures :(

issue it says you can't only build this on something that can support heavy weight.

1.6？

thank you for updating this before I even woke up on release day <3

no me deja utilizar la version 1.6 :((

Ty

Looks like tilled soil isn't something you can build gravship substructures on, it says you can't only build this on something that can support heavy weight. Deconstructing back to normal soil lets me build the substructures. probably just an xml change somewhere

thank you for the quick update!

thanks for update!
