Irrigation is especially useful in [[biome]]s with little soil, and deep underground. However, no amount of irrigation will make it possible to grow surface plants in a hostile [[biome]], such as [[mountain]]s-this is a matter of climate, not soil conditions. | Irrigation is especially useful in [[biome]]s with little soil, and deep underground.

− | Farm plots | + | Farm plots can be built on unsuitable ground but doing so will display a warning message. If even a one tile of the plot lacks mud or soil, the entire plot will be unusable. (However, note that when placing an outdoor farm plot, the game will always erroneously report that there is no usable mud/soil. This is a bug - if the plot is green it will function correctly.) |
