Clay doesn't require irrigation?
« on: February 17, 2011, 09:36:30 am »
So, having downloaded the newest version (0.31.19) I decided to build a new fort on some clay to make use of the new ceramics. Immediately, I dug down, built a farm, and was just beginning to open the floodgate to irrigate the farm from a murky pool when I noticed that I could already order my dwarfs to start planting. I am currently growing cave wheat on an unirrigated farm.

Bug or Feature?

It is intentional. Underground soil needing to be irrigated was actually a bug to start with.

"Strike the earth!"
"A section of the cavern has collapsed"
"Your fortress has crumbled to its end"
Yeah, in the future you probably shouldn't strike the earth quite so hard

Whoa, something made easier in this update? 
You seriously mean I can set up a decent-sized farm even more early on? :o

I don't mean to alarm you, but it appears that your Dwarves are all in fact elephants.

Not really, no. There were bugs associated with it, but it was (generally speaking) intentional.

I think there's a distinction being made here between needing to irrigate underground soil (bug) and needing to irrigate rock (feature).

I always end up embarking into clay, this spell great news for my fortress, since we've just ran out of booze.
