I've heard that trees will grow in mud-covered constructed floors. I'd like to get confirmation on that. Does it include above-ground areas as well? I'd like to grow a 'forest in the sky' but I haven't seen any sign of saplings arriving in the area I've mudded up yet.

Underground crop and trees will only grow on underground terrain. Any tile that has been exposed to sunlight counts as above ground and you can only grow the usual outside crops on farmplots on it. With some luck their might appear some normal trees on it though (not in the farm plots, on muddied tiles I mean).

Yeah, I'm specifically talking about trees (above ground trees).  There's no way to grow subterranean trees 'in the sky' because, as you say, you can't turn tiles from 'sunlit' to 'underground' by building over them.

Above-ground trees need natural soil walls beneath them, either directly beneath or one tile away.

Right. No sky forest for me, then.

It was my recollection that a soil wall 2 tiles away was sufficient.

Also, to the original poster, nothing will grow naturally on a constructed floor, muddy or not. Above-ground trees will seemingly only grow on Grassy tiles, while subterranean ones can grow on muddy natural stone as well.

Loaded up an old 31.25 game, and yes it's two tiles away. That probably hasn't changed since then.
