Wet the ground first. The entire area under the plot needs to be muddied. Aboveground farms do not suffer this restriction however.

The Marx generator will produce Engels-waves which should allow the inherently unstable isotope of Leninium to undergo a rapid Stalinisation in mere trockoseconds.

Yes. Clearly a bug that ought to be fixed in the future, but exploit it in the meantime.

Ummm you can't build a farm on unmuddied stone, as in the game will literally not allow you to place the plot.

No, but when you reclaim a fortress, the farm will remain while the mud will not.

Wow, really?  Now we have a way to preserve dirt in caves!

For the OP:  There are a million and one threads on this and new ones are created almost daily.  You could have searched.

You never know when you might need a berserk dwarf to set loose somewhere.
