If I plant grass plow it will it turn back to grass or fores
If I plow forest floor, plant grass, plow it again, plant crops then harvest and if I let it lay fallow will it turn to grass land or back to forest floor?

Re: If I plant grass plow it will it turn back to grass or f
grass, as far as i understand the "tile" system can never go backwards, if you plant grass, grass shall it be, only way to go back into forest tiles is to do something that will turn those grass tiles into forest tiles, i think you can do this whit forest trees.pickmonger wrote:If I plow forest floor, plant grass, plow it again, plant crops then harvest and if I let it lay fallow will it turn to grass land or back to forest floor?

Because we can and we will.... die!

Plowed land still 'remembers' what it was immediately before being plowed.
Grass that is plowed normally becomes grass again when the plowing wears off
BUT there is a small chance it will turn into moor.
Once one tile becomes moor, the moor spreads to nearby grass tiles.
So a patch of grass plowed constantly will (in the long run) change into moor.

If I am not mistaken, manually planted grass will turn into moor, and then heathland as I have not seen this behavior exhibited from grassland formed from the absence of trees. The only way to revert it back to forest tile is to plant a tree at the location. While a tree grows, all tiles in a 5 x 5 area around the tree has a chance of changing into its native forest terrain.

It doesn't matter how the grass gets there. It will always go through the same process.Patchouli_Knowledge wrote:If I am not mistaken, manually planted grass will turn into moor, and then heathland as I have not seen this behavior exhibited from grassland formed from the absence of trees.

I think someone else explained that tree terraforming only works on grassland types, and not on other forest tiles.

Tiles never save data of what it was previously, except maybe plowed ? but I think there are just different 'plowed' tiles for every terrain, not sure though. I recall asking loftar about having a way for terrain to eventually revert back into what it originally was and he said it was impossible given current mechanics due to this.

My guess is that 'plowed' is just a status that lays over the tile like forageables that pop up or the decorative shrubbery.DatOneGuy wrote:Tiles never save data of what it was previously, except maybe plowed ? but I think there are just different 'plowed' tiles for every terrain, not sure though.
