Obsidian to Natural Soil
« on: March 18, 2012, 04:37:42 pm »
First layer.. full of shitty rocks instead of soil and godamn pools...

If i fill the murky pool with magma and turn it into obsidian, then build floors on it and then remove the floors, will the obsidian floor turn into the first layer of soil?

If the natural layer is obsidian, you'll just get obsidian...

What do you need the soil for? You could just irrigate the obsidian, would make it function in exactly the same way :)

Good man. As to your question... possibly. You can't know for sure until you do it.

I'm pretty sure the answer would be yes if the natural layer isn't obsidian. I've tried to move sand tiles down to the 3rd cavern - the game replaces the sand with whatever is the natural stone layer when grass grows and is removed.

Congrats, Psieye. This is the first time I've seen a derailed thread get put back on the rails.
