Red ground in my fort.
« on: December 15, 2007, 01:11:00 am »

I was mining out my fort (1 level underground, basically I had made a stairway and hit > once), and I came across all this red ground where I was building. I can't make workshops there, and have no clue what it does. Any help?

No, my diggers haven't died horrible deaths. It's regular ground, except red. I'm hoping I'm not digging into a volcano.

D'oh! Forgot about that. It's silty clay loam.

Edit: Now have a nice little farm plot. I'd like to get rid of some of it for building, though.

Edit 2: I seem to be able to put things on it now. Strange.

You probably didn't have any logs or stones you could make workshops with.
