Question regarding plant biomes
« on: February 22, 2009, 03:03:16 pm »

Can I designate a plant to grow in a biome that doesn't normally support plantlife? (such as mountains or badlands)

Thanks!

I am pretty sure you can. They probably won't grow on their own, but it will work for farms.

I think it's a vastly amusing thought that elephants are so afraid of heights that when Dwarves invented the Z-axis, they couldn't bear to face dwarves in combat anymore.

plants require soil to grow so you generally wont see them in the wild.

If you poured water over the mountain and gave it a healthy coating of mud, you could probably find and grow mountain plants in the mud.

regardless, the slime shooter will be completed, come hell or high water, which are both entirely plausible setbacks at this point.

Thanks! I'm trying to diversify the plants I can gather via herbalism, so I'll avoid designating anything for the non-plantlife supporting biomes. :)

If I remember right than tundra works, glacier doesn't.
