Which is better to plant on? Soil or stone?

[killette2]

Even though it defies most logic, you can plant things on paved stone to my knowledge. Is it better to do on stone because stone won't disapear?

You can? That's interesting. I've seen people plant a crop and then pave over it, but never plant on pavement.

Chances are, the pavement is acting as a cover, lending to two layers of ground: the ground itself, and the pavement above it. When you place pavement, it doesn't change the ground, but rather adds some flags, like running speed and building chicken coops and houses, while the plowed ground still exists. This gives two options. Either the plowed status wears away, like regular ground, or the pavement somehow keeps the plowed status in limbo, either way there's no way to check because you can't really dig up road. You could use pavement, but if the ground beneath does naturally un-plow, then you'll have to plant grass and plow it again to get plowed land. On the other hand, if the plowed status is frozen upon placement of stone, then you have an eternal field. It depends on how this works, and it may (probably will) be changed in later worlds.

Your call, I suppose.

This is incorrect, you can't plant on a paved tile. I just tested it out, stone, brick, grass, all of them are unplantable. However, you can pave a tile after you'ce planted something on it, in the same way you can plow it or plant grass without disturbing the crop. Don't pave over your farmland, though, unless you're prepared to be very disappointed.

That's what I assumed happened, but OP implied that you could plant on stone normally. Seems he never tested it.

Sorry, I just don't like to take risk with my limited resources.

Plants are a limited resource?

Plants are a limited resource?

When you just start out they are.
