::::::I've got a pretty good counterexample to the idea that a solid soil wall is required underneath an unmuddied soil floor - right now, in my current fortress, I have a fully grown tower-cap growing on a tile of dry black sand between two of my farm plots. If I navigate down 1 Z-level, the area underneath consists of mined-out [[chalk]] (specifically, an archery range with unmined chalk walls separating each lane). I also have 2 other tower-caps which grew on dry black sand such that the tiles immediately below them are black sand ''floors'', mined out to create stockpile space. --[[User:Quietust|Quietust]] 19:50, 18 September 2009 (UTC) | ::::::I've got a pretty good counterexample to the idea that a solid soil wall is required underneath an unmuddied soil floor - right now, in my current fortress, I have a fully grown tower-cap growing on a tile of dry black sand between two of my farm plots.

:::::::I should add, though, that I have several other areas of black sand with mined-out chalk underneath them which have ''not'' shown any signs of plant growth - perhaps it has something to do with proximity to a mountain biome? --[[User:Quietust|Quietust]] 01:46, 19 September 2009 (UTC) | :::::::I should add, though, that I have several other areas of black sand with mined-out chalk underneath them which have ''not'' shown any signs of plant growth - perhaps it has something to do with proximity to a mountain biome? --[[User:Quietust|Quietust]] 01:46, 19 September 2009 (UTC) | ||

Okay, folks, I don't know whats going on with you, but I have a huge cavern of sand floor with stone below and not a single shrub or tree there for years. This is also consistent with all fortresses i had so far. On those tiles with soil below, caps grow just fine, same with my muddied tree farm on stone. Guess I will wait for a few years more.. Im not even the one who came up with this, but only learned that from testing it..see also [[Talk:Irrigation]] --[[User:Frickinglogin|Frickinglogin]] 21:22, 18 September 2009 (UTC) | Okay, folks, I don't know whats going on with you, but I have a huge cavern of sand floor with stone below and not a single shrub or tree there for years.

− | + | *Tell that to my fortress, where I've got a few tower-caps which have grown on sand floors with air underneath them, and a few of which originally had stone underneath them. Then again, I've got other sand on the same Z-level which won't grow anything at all... --[[User:Quietust|Quietust]] 01:58, 19 September 2009 (UTC) | |
