The underground river is an easy source of mud for farming. It will seasonally flood the ten squares nearest to it on both banks. These flooded squares will become mud once the waters recede. Any squares reached by the initial flood will become muddy as well, and can also be used for farming until the mud dries in winter. | The underground river is an easy source of mud for farming.
