Random brown tiles appearing

[Moogie]

Brown tiles (dirt?) have been steadily accumulating around my claim, which is situated on green grassland. I was wondering what causes this. I could've sworn I'd read something about it before, but it's difficult to come up with an appropriate search term (besides "dirt" or "brown stuff").

Could it be my livestock eating the grass? If so, how long does grass take to re-grow? My animals won't eventually run out of grass to eat, will they? I am not spending every other hour filling troughs that get empty faster than Flash Gordan's bowels after a bad curry.

my grassland tiles are also turning back into brown. At first i thought i was crazy and forgot to plant there, but after realizing they keep comming back, its nothing i missed.

Do you also have livestock?

Mine aren't turning back into brown; they were grass to begin with, it wasn't planted. So whatever is turning mine brown isn't natural for this area.

it is due to the livestock eating it.

but i am not sure it will grow back fast enough.
that probably depends on how much livestock you have.

It won't turn to back to grass on its own.

I thought it did not turn back as well.. But it does. *VERY* slowly.

If you want to breed livestock, you will have to use troughs. Pregnant / lactating cows will slowly starve to death if there's only grass for them to eat.

Also, grass only has q10. You can't raise quality livesdtock with that.

yes it does go back to grass eventually

[Moogie]

Jeez. I can't even replant grass on those tiles using seeds.

I don't care enough about my livestock's quality to spend every waking hour keeping their troughs full, so I suppose I'll let them eat the lawn until they starve.

You need to pave those tiles before you can plant grass. Yeah, I know, it doesn't make any sense.

Also, try having less cattle if you can't feed the number you have. Also, use pumpkins for feed.

i have a huge pumpkin patchs, just gotta wait for them to grow now XD 4 real life days right?
