While this is true soil is also so painfully abundant that it shouldn't be a huge issue for a very, very long time. It does mean that we'll need to desolate large areas into bottomless holes.

Easily solved by plant waste decaying into soil. :)

I wonder if that's one reason trash pits were made?

I'm not sure you realize just how much soil exists in the world. If I sneeze in my area I can find a "landscaping project" that costs 10-20k soil.

How many trees will a village go through? Soil can be trucked and dumped onto quality nodes to keep them generating. Remember that trees are also much denser in terms of output now.

Inb4 Mad Max: H&H Soil Wars The fucking sheep never thought it could happen. Coming to a September near u. :lol:

Though Doesn't trash degrade overtime to produce a soil substitute; similar to the quality of the trash? Seems like destroying soil simply to replace it with superior soil would be a good thing.

Dear god we can trade high quality shit now. Soon we can build mountains out of shit from our cows. Shit shall sell!

Since Loftar loves math he has made sure that Integral (from time = 0 to time = server dead) of [delta(soil) per time unit/ "total soil"] is 0 + ordo (small number).

Should introduce a compost.
