I don't know if this counts as a bug or intended behaviour, and if it's well-known or not.  But if you dig a single layer on an outdoors desert/wasteland tile, the sand tile underneath immediately starts growing grass?

I found it by accident on a blessed desert-beach fortress so the grass was blue, the effect was quite pretty.  I thought I would need to irrigate outside sand tiles to make them sprout, like cavern floor, and was digging holes for ponds, but they just immediately sprouted into verdant pastures.  Well, azure pastures I suppose

Yeah this is a well known bug. If only anti-desertification worked as well in real life.

We can only hope Toady can up with a solution (like reworking the formula so growths don't work well on desert topsoil without irrigation, meaning the caverns are still the best), or will address it in the map-rewrite.
