It doesn't spread to tiles where you don't plant grass...

[krikke93]

How does grass spread?

If I grass most tiles (the non grass ones being forest) will grass spread onto these tiles?

Grass randomly spawns where the forest has been cut down. In other words, a tree has a radius where grass can't spawn, when you chop that tree, the radius will be gone too. If a tile has no tree radius reaching to it, grass will grow here within time.

Situation: Abandoned village where all buildings have decayed, only paved ground left, as there where all trees chopped it went grassland, later moor, partially heath

partly it was paved on forest ground where trees are in a distance 15 to 20 tiles away, i grassed over this paved parts months ago - still no grass where i didn't planted grass

Mmm. krikke93 is correct that that is the general observed behavior for a long time.

(Interesting ... But this seems not a topic to start digging around to see what might be up here.)

From my observation, only manually created grass can turn into moors and heathlands.

From my observation, only manually created grass can turn into moors and heathlands.

I have moor in my camp, and I'm 100% sure I didn't plant grass there.

What I do notice, is that where grass was originally (grassland), moor grows after chopping trees. But this isn't only the case with grasslands, it's just more common there.

Grass
Spontaneously appears from forest tiles that are not near any trees.
Can be planted by using seeds on plowed/stomped/paved tiles.
Planted grass is no different from natural grass.

Moor
Plowed grass has a chance to decay into moor instead of decaying back into grass.
When a moor tile is adjacent to a grass tile, it will eventually spread, transforming the grass tile into moor.
You can block the spread with nongrass tiles (I usually use pavement as a border).

Heath
Plowed moor has a chance to decay into heath instead of decaying back into moor.
When a heath tile is adjacent to a moor (and maybe also grass?) tile, it will eventually spread, transforming the moor tile into heath.
Just like with moor, you can block the spread with a border.



note: when I use the word adjacent I am specifically talking about tiles that touch eachother. I'm not sure if corner-to-corner counts. Would have to test it.

Ah right, it is plowed grass, not planted. My mistake.

When im out tracking i have never understood what the point of the direction, and delta do. Could anyone explain what there purpose is?
And when someone stealth*intel is lower than your per*expl, then is the pie radius smaller or larger?

Delta:

(When tracking, the delta is just the perp's INT*Stealth versus your PER*EXP, not distance)

Pie:

The width is dependent on the tracker's (perc * exp) vs target's (int * stealth). The higher the tracker's product, the narrower the pie slice is and vice versa. I believe it also narrows down the direction variance as well. Proximity has nothing to do with the width of the pie slice.


To determine if you are getting closer to the target or their hearthfire, take note of any directional changes.

Ok, i went tracking again today, and the delta said 11. so what exactly does that mean? i have 11 more points of per*exp than the targest int* stealth? or somthing different?

[SuperNoob]

delta is just how wide the pie slice is when you track. if you have high expl*perc you'll be able to track more effeciently meaning smaller area that you're being led.
