Would it be possible to build dirt roads on mountain tiles and farm them?

Just curious.
You can only build dirt roads on soil, so that wouldn't work. Even if you muddy the stone, you won't be able to grow anything on it - mountain biomes do not support any forms of above-ground plant life.

It's amazing how dwarves can make a stack of bones completely waterproof and magmaproof.

It's amazing how they can make an entire floodgate out of the bones of 2 cats.

As far as growing on constructions is concerned, I can personally confirm that it's possible to make farm plots even on, say, solid gold constructions.


EDIT: As long as it's gotten wet at some point, of course.

According to legends (ie: I haven't tested it myself...)
dirt roads remove mud.

Is there any way to remove mud outdoors?
Yea, use dirt roads to clear off the mud.

Paved Roads do you mean? I don't think you can farm paved roads.

(There is a story behind this. . .)

This is an Alder Omelette. All craftsdwarfship is of highest quality. It is encircled with bands of cheese. It menaces with spikes of bacon, ham, and peppers. On the object is an image of dwarves in egg white. The dwarves are eating.
