[[Tower cap]]s will grow on un-irrigated, underground soil just as much, as fast and as often as on irrigated soil - the catch is that you need a soil layer below the soil floor, just like for outdoor trees. Irrigating is only needed for stone. --[[User:Koltom|Koltom]] 20:00, 30 August 2009 (UTC) | [[Tower cap]]s will grow on un-irrigated, underground soil just as much, as fast and as often as on irrigated soil - the catch is that you need a soil layer below the soil floor, just like for outdoor trees.

− | : Oh, not again! Wrong! TC's grow | + | : Oh, not again! Wrong! TC's grow MUCH more densely on irrigated soil, and do NOT need a soil layer beneath them! So, while an individual TC may(?) take just as long, the forest, overall, produces mass wood "faster" with irrigation. This is a DF myth that has been busted long ago, but still malingers like a bad smell. |
:Try it! Take one homogeneous area, irrigate half, go have dinner, come back and see the diff. And/or with half over stone or a mined-out area - makes NO difference to Tower Caps. (When you do, be careful of "damp soil" - over an aquifer, or near damp walls - they seem to like those better if unirrigated.)--[[User:Albedo|Albedo]] 20:29, 1 September 2009 (UTC) | :Try it!
