Growing grass in the wasteland
Hello all,
I am trying to figure out how to get a lawn growing in the wasteland. I have uncovered a large area down the the dirt, but nothing seems to make grass grow. I can farm it.. but tilled ground doesnt seem to go back to grass by itself. Any ideas?
Thanks

What dirt was it? Wasteland? If so, probably won't work.

Hmm any dirt I add seems to become wasteland dirt.. let get a fresh stack at the grasslands see if that changes anything.

Fertile dirt should probably do it. I took some out of a forest for farmland in a desert. It managed to spead before I tilled it.

You could try putting down a layer of rock that completely seperates the wasteland dirt from the regular dirt, to see if that stops it.

Otherwise, I suspect the wasteland biome is designed like that, you can't grow anything there because it is contaminated...

I've been planting trees around by base in the desert biome, using dirt, and I've had no issues with that....

Fertile dirt will grow into grass blocks anywhere, even in the wasteland.

What you won't see is the grass growing on top of the grass blocks.

The best you can do in that case is "replant" the grass that you cut down when you're digging.

It won't grow into the green grass that it was but that's about the best we can do at the moment.

I took fertile dirt to the top of my tower planted a lot of plants and after a while I had enough for two months online of food and wood so I just let the dirt go back to grass texture then it went back to grass as well. I planted my trees straight into desert just to see if it works and yep it does.

Awesome.

So after farming the grass block grew grass again?

I would have never thought of that.
(because. worst. farmer. ever.)

Thanks for all the input guys (and gals).
The results of my experiment are that if the wasteland soil is untilled it will not grow grass, you can however grow cotton and corn on it (without hoeing). being next to water didnt do it either. I had to dig up the soil and put in back down, wait two game days and the green texture would start appearing.. it will not spread to untilled soil however (at least not so far).
As for different soils from different areas, it all stacks as fertile soil.

On the server I am on now someone has gentified one of the ruins cities, trees everywhere. So next to see where (and how) they grow in my wasteland area. :D

I swear that next time when I have time to create a server, I am going to call it wasteland city beautification project.

You need fertile dirt with a water sources nearby. I plop patches of fertile dirt and run an irrigation ditch all the way around the property. You either need to dig a stream from a nearby river or haul bucketed water....or if you are ambitious like me, make a concrete roman aquaduct system :)

Last I remember though, water has no effect on farming or anything else like this anymore. I believe they're saving all that for when they overhaul water itself.
