Chickon_20 Posted November 23, 2024 Report Posted November 23, 2024 Instead of disappearing, farmland could drop a worse dirt if bellow base fertility (and drop it's dirt if at least at its base fertility). Also the ability to make medium dirt would be neat (maybe with compost and a filler material) 1
Thorfinn Posted November 23, 2024 Report Posted November 23, 2024 Consider the very popular mod, https://mods.vintagestory.at/farmlanddropssoil Pretty sure the similarly popular Dana Tweaks does something similar. https://mods.vintagestory.at/show/mod/2531 Can't you improve soil in the base game already? Or is that a 1.20 thing? Considering how easy it is to find med fert, at least in 1.20, I can't think why I would want to do that. Much better off saving the compost for making TP. 2

I think it used to be a thing, and then got disabled in 1.19. It might return as a mechanic in 1.20, not sure. But I agree, it would be nice to upgrade lower qualities of soil to at least medium quality, for sod roofing. It'd also be nice to have low fertility/barren soil drop from farmland when you break it...not that dirt is hard to come by, I just like getting the blocks back so that I can reuse them elsewhere. As for resetting the nutrients...I don't think that would be much of a factor with low fertility/barren soil, as both aren't really suited to growing much of anything. 2
Thorfinn Posted November 25, 2024 Report Posted November 25, 2024 Oh, my bad. It's when you use potash on farmland that it gets bumped 1 level. 1

Thorfinn Posted November 25, 2024 Report Posted November 25, 2024 You only get it from a mineral found just in salt domes. Which is weird, because historically, it's almost always been produced from wood ash. 1

I've only ever found one salt dome, and that was mostly by accident. Generally I use a mod to boil water down into salt, or just buy salt from the traders.

It you can make HQ into Terra Petra but it is inferior to the compost recipe TP. I do not know how it is affected over long term, but if you find a supply it is a nice alternative. 1

I do not know how it is affected over long term, but if you find a supply it is a nice alternative. The 1.19 TP recipe can use HQ soil to make 2 blocks of TP instead of the 1 block from just fertilizer components (compost, bonemeal, etc). Converting and HQ block to "TP" by applying potash creates an inferior block of "terra preta". 1
