If this isn't bugged in some way, it seems to be just what I need.

Currently, you can construct Garden soil over Marshy Soil in swamps, even without the research and it will automatically be placed as structural support below anything that can not be built directly on Marshy Soil, but could be placed on bridges.

Just wanted to say this is a really good take on adding cultured soil.

- No extreme growth amounts that invalidates all other soil (or even hydroponics)
- Actually requires a research to use
- Requires resources to make
- Is still just dirt for all other purposes (including wealth)
- Gives a reason to still value rich soil
- Doesn't add a ton of crap like fertilizer, dirt objects, recipes etc to the game

It might be a bit strong in an extreme desert, ice sheet, or sea ice, but wood is already exceedingly rare in those places. Either way, well done on balancing it.

Hey will there be any settings to change the cost?
Josh Mate  [author] Jan 2, 2023 @ 8:31am 
@yoemso yes it's a floor tile.
yoemso Jan 1, 2023 @ 4:23pm 
is it can be placed?

OK, thanks. I wish it worked with the planting skill somehow. Oh well.

@Nolan, Garden Soil is a Floor Type, built with Construction

What job builds the Garden Soil? Grow?

Thanks!

Update:

- Greatly Reduced Work To Build Garden Soil (Now the same as Paved Tile)
- Fixed a bug where pawns would clean Garden Soil

Just Update to 1.4, enjoy!

ah oops I meant more fertile than fertile soil*
Josh Mate  [author] Aug 18, 2021 @ 12:40pm 
@The Blind One

Umm, it is already?
The Blind One Aug 18, 2021 @ 12:07pm 
Maybe you should make it cost 5 wood and be more fertile than regular soil?

Using wood to get farms gives me strong Age of Empires vibes lmao.
Josh Mate  [author] Aug 18, 2021 @ 10:43am 
@The Blind One

it's meant to look like freshly dug and watered soil.
But yes I do see what you mean.
The Blind One Aug 18, 2021 @ 4:29am 
Only thing odd about this is that the garden soil looks more fertile than the fertile soil lol
PremierVader Aug 14, 2021 @ 5:13pm 
Also for a little more balance I suggest changing the cost from 2 Wood to 5 Wood. Great mod!
PremierVader Aug 14, 2021 @ 5:11pm 
I like it I needed this so much!
Josh Mate  [author] Aug 14, 2021 @ 12:21pm 
Update:

- Removed the 1 Chemfuel cost per tile
- Made the "Work to Build" higher to compensate (Now the same as Stone Tiles)
Eggnog Aug 13, 2021 @ 12:10pm 
awesome!

The Wealth of the tiles has been kept to a minimum, Due to not getting any resources back from deconstructing the tiles, you won't gain any wealth.
Eggnog Aug 12, 2021 @ 7:03pm 
i remember similar mods having the problem of inflating your wealth when placing the soil, does this mod have that problem as well?
