planted "flower soil" bed, but no flowers on it

[kelmenwong]

bug?

(resolved)
found out its the display setting:
small foliage - need to be set at least performance.

Maybe it's better for growing flowers?

Nope. It's not meant to have flowers in it.

This is exactly what it's used for.

when he plot down the soil, flowers spawn on it

My guess is it depends on what's a few tiles underneath of it before flowers pop up like that?

When you say planted, you mean you laid it like a terrain block?

I just went and tested this out including removing a piece of my basement ceiling and replacing it with flower soil but couldn't replicate your problem - so I suggest you take some flower soil and use the number 6 (big square) and try in different places. One thing is it won't show as dirt so if you got rich brown dirt I wonder if you had farm soil available and used that instead. Flower soil can't be dirt, grass or 'furrowed' soil ready to plant stuff in.

The end result of using flower soil is also random, you will not always get a flower, I have seen this from a few streamers. One streamer was able to use flower soil to get a sprawling ivy look on the wall of their base.

You can throw dirt at a limited set of walls for the ivy - there is a youtube on this but can't remember more about it. Also where stone and walls meet. It doesn't have to be flower soil.
